Small Mistakes That Cost Millions To Fix

George Lucas and His Toys – $3 billion

We all know George Lucas as the creator of Star Wars – one of the most profitable franchises in the world. Well, did you know he had trouble getting the initial trilogy made? To make sure the funding was secured, Lucas signed over the merchandise rights to 20th Century Fox.

This means that over the years, Lucas would lose out on billions of dollars of revenue. Still, there’s a happier ending for him: Lucasfilm was eventually bought by Disney and he walked away with $3 billion in his pocket – not bad!
