George Clooney — Casamigos Tequila

Clooney and his buddies Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman created Casamigos because they wanted a tequila smooth enough to drink without making a face. Five years later, Diageo bought it for $1 billion — the largest tequila acquisition in history. Clooney reportedly earned $233 million from the sale alone, which is more than his entire film career earnings combined. The man made more money from agave than from Ocean's Eleven, Gravity, and every Nespresso ad put together.
