Good news, everyone! Not only has James Cameron directed the two most successful films of all time, been ranked as the third-most powerful celebrity in the world by the editors of Forbes magazine, and been dubbed “the biggest director on the planet” by the editors of Will.I.Am’s Just Sayin’, he’s also become insanely fucking rich, with Avatar having just earned him the biggest haul in film history by a director on a single picture: $350 million. Of course, that figure only stands to grow when he releases his special extended edition of Avatar back into theaters this August—and there’s no telling how much cash he’ll rake in from the new 3-D version of Titanic being released next year, which will only add to the $97 million he made off it in the first place. Also, he stands to make untold fortunes selling the 3-D technology he developed to filmmakers all over the globe. Basically, when all the world's economies have collapsed into a feral struggle over the last remaining natural resources, James Cameron will be able to stride through the hellish wasteland issuing booming "I told you so"s from the speakers of his solid-gold robotic power suit.
