The Wachowskis have a net worth of $250 million. They were born in the windy city of Chicago, Illinois to a businessman, Ron, of Polish descent and their mother, Lynne, who was a nurse. They’re both college dropouts who wanted to focus on their writing careers while earning a living in the construction business at the same time. Their big break came when their script, Assassins, starring Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, and Julianne Moore, was made into a movie. Warner Brothers signed them on with a contract and they never looked back. After this great accomplishment, they devoted their lives to their movie careers.
Their next movie, Bound, was their directing debut, but they are best known as the masterminds who brought us the Matrix trilogy, which brought in well over $1 billion dollars worldwide. They have also had an interest in comic books which led them to write and produce the hit movie, V for Vendetta. They are currently working on a film, Jupiter Ascending, based on a science fiction screenplay.
