Maggie Gyllenhaal & Peter Sarsgaard – $35 Million

Knowing that her parents both worked as filmmakers, it comes as no surprise that Maggie Gyllenhaal, along with her younger brother Jake, eventually pursued a career in the same industry. Before she even got her college degree, Maggie already starred in more than a few of her parents’ movies, including Waterland, A Dangerous Woman, and Homegrown. After finishing her studies, she became more well-known in the business thanks to her role in Donnie Darko and The Dark Knight.

In 2002, she began a relationship with Peter Sarsgaard, and the two got married seven years later. Like Maggie, Peter is a talented actor whose road to fame started with his first film role in Dead Man Walking. This was then continued with his appearance in other titles like Another Day in Paradise, The Man in the Iron Mask, Boys Don’t Cry, The Center of the World, and Knight and Day.
