Arnon Milchan is an Israeli businessman and film producer. He owns New Regency Enterprises, a film and TV production company in media and entertainment. New Regency backed major hits including Pretty Woman, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Revenant, Birdman, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Across his career, he has been involved in over 130 full-length motion pictures. He also earned Academy Award for Best Picture nominations for L.A. Confidential and The Revenant.
His path to wealth started outside Hollywood. In 1962, at age 21, he took over his family's bankrupt fertilizer company and turned it into a $125 million business. Forbes also notes that he was a business student, a professional soccer player, and a consultant for weapons systems between Israeli Defense Forces and U.S. defense contractors. He entered the movie business in 1977, partnered on Masada in 1981, and started New Regency Productions in 1991.
How Arnon Milchan built his fortune
Milchan made money through business first and film later. After taking control of his family's fertilizer company in 1962, he reshaped it into a chemical business worth $125 million. That gave him a base before his entertainment career took off. Forbes places his wealth in movie making, and his industry is media and entertainment. He is also listed by Forbes as self-made.
In Hollywood, his main asset is New Regency Enterprises. The company produced films such as Pretty Woman, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Revenant, Birdman, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Wikipedia also credits Regency with films including 12 Years a Slave, JFK, Heat, and Fight Club. Milchan has worked on over 130 films, which helps explain the long reach of his career across studio projects, awards titles, and commercial hits.
What Forbes says about his net worth
Forbes has tracked Milchan's fortune for years. It was $3.4 billion in 2019, moved to $3.5 billion in 2022, and dipped to $3.3 billion in 2023. Those estimates sit alongside the same core business story: a longtime producer with ownership of New Regency Enterprises and a history of building companies. The available Forbes notes tie his wealth to movie making rather than a broad mix of unrelated sectors.
The biggest jump in the figures listed here came later. Forbes estimated Milchan at $6.3 billion in 2025, and the current figure is $6.4 billion on Forbes' real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026. Forbes does not give a detailed year-by-year reason in these notes, but the profile continues to center on his production company, his film catalog, and the business foundation he built before Hollywood.
