His wealth surged after his share of the $700m sale of his tequila company, Casamigos, to the British liquor company, Diageo.

Clooney took home an industry-leading pre-tax paycheck of $239m in the calendar year between June 1, 2017 and June 1, 2018.

“So, four years later when we were offered a billion dollars to sell the company, yeah, we were kind of shocked”.
