Richard Gere is an American actor who began appearing in films in the 1970s, with a supporting role in Looking for Mr. Goodbar in 1977 and a starring role in Days of Heaven in 1978. He came to prominence in American Gigolo in 1980, which established him as a leading man. He won a Golden Globe Award for playing Billy Flynn in the musical Chicago in 2002.
His other films include An Officer and a Gentleman in 1982, The Cotton Club, Internal Affairs, Pretty Woman in 1990, Sommersby, First Knight, Primal Fear, The Jackal, Runaway Bride in 1999, Unfaithful, Shall We Dance?, I'm Not There, Hachi: A Dog's Tale, Arbitrage in 2012 and Norman in 2016. He is also known for his advocacy of human rights in Tibet and is a co-founder of Tibet House US.
How Richard Gere makes his money
Hit films since 1980 built his fortune. An Officer and a Gentleman and Pretty Woman were among the most popular films of their years, and in the 1990s he was a regular leading man in thrillers and romances, a kind of role that commands a top salary.
His Golden Globe-winning turn in Chicago in 2002 showed his range, and he has also taken roles in smaller films, such as Arbitrage and Norman, which brought critical praise. A star with a long career can earn repeat income from a catalog of home video and streaming rights.
His work for human rights, including as chairman of the International Campaign for Tibet, is a cause rather than a business. His earnings come mainly from decades as a leading man in film.
