Will Smith

At the number 8 spot on the “total box office revenue” list is Will Smith. Smith was born Willard Christopher Smith Jr. on September 25, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Will comes from a relatively large family with one brother and two sisters. His brother Harry and sister Ellen are twins born in 1971. His other sister Pam was born in 1964. Smith now has a daughter, Willow Camille Reign Smith, and two sons, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith and Willard C. Smith III (aka “Trey”).

Smith began rapping at the age of 12 with Jeffrey Townes (aka “Jazzy Jeff”) in 1981. He had made his first $1 million in 1989 by the age of 20. Being a 20-year old with that much money, it did not last long. Starting in 1990, Smith was on the hit television series “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” 1992 was the year Will landed his first significant film role in Where the Day Takes You. He got noticed the following year with Six Degrees of Separation. His career took off after his 1995 film Bad Boys.
