Thomas Tull Net Worth $1.3 Billion
To begin with, Tull was raised by a single mother in Binghamton, New York; he was educated at Hamilton College. After completing his studies, he gave up his original idea of pursuing a career in law, and became a businessman, founding a chain of self-service laundry facilities. Later, Thomas Tull acquired various tax offices, which he later sold for a profit, which increased the overall size of his net worth.
Moreover, Tull served as the Chief of Operations of Tax Services in the USA. In addition to this, he was an employee of the Convex Group, in which he rose to the position of the president of the company. Afterwards, he came into the entertainment industry with the help of various projects – in 2000, Thomas Tull founded the production studio Legendary Pictures. In a discussion with a manager of the movie studio, Tull recognized that there was the option of using private equity to finance big film projects, and thanks to equities transactions, he was able to collect $600 million – it was the first company of its kind, financing/investing in big Hollywood films through private capital and hedge funds, and this business model brought him the award for the Media / Entertainment Deal of the Year by IDD Magazine in 2005, as that year he signed a cooperation agreement with Warner Bros Company for the co-production and co-financing of 40 films over a period of seven years. The first film projects were “Batman Begins” (2005) and “Superman Returns” (2006). Thomas Tull worked as an executive producer for many films including “We Are Marshall” (2006), “The Dark Knight” (2008), “Where the Wild Things Are” (2009), “Clash of the Titans” (2010), “The Hangover Part II” (2011), “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012), “The Hangover Part III” (2013) and other films. His net worth was rising exponentially.
After the contract with Warner Bros had expired, Tull announced that Legendary Pictures would partner with Universal Pictures from 2014, signed for a period of five years. According to the data presented in 2015, Legendary Movies Box Office generates more than $12 billion worldwide. Besides working as the CEO at Legendary Pictures, Tull is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Film Institute (AFI), the San Diego Zoo and the Zoological Society of San Diego. Since 2009, he is also an investor in American Football team Pittsburgh Steelers.
