Sylvester Stallone rose to prominence as one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors, frequently portraying antisocial, underdog heroes in one-syllable films. While Stallone has made an effort to diversify his filmography by starring in comedies and dramas, his main box office success still lies in action movies. An estimate of Stallone’s wealth puts it at $400 million.
He wrote eight scripts, helped to launch two of the most successful film franchises ever, brought in close to $4 billion for the studios, and is sometimes mentioned in the same breath as Charlie Chaplin.
Sylvester Stallone, like his first on-screen alter ego Rocky Balboa, has absorbed some blows but has thrown a lot of knockouts to go along with them. Stallone combined a real-life boxing battle and his own life experiences to create Rocky, a timeless underdog story that created Rocky Balboa the modern-day cinematic underdog. Rocky Balboa had humble origins and made his film debut in a skin flick. Stallone followed out the classic underdog, rags-to-riches dream of becoming one of Hollywood’s top stars for more than 30 years by taking on the role of tormented Vietnam veteran John Rambo a few years later and illuminating the 1980s with Rocky and Rambo successes.
