Bruce Willis

American-German actor and film producer, Walter Bruce Willis, started his career in the industry on off-Broadway stages back in the ‘70s. He gained recognition following his role in Moonlighting, a comedy-drama series that ran from 1985 to 1989. He has also appeared in more than 70 films and has had worldwide fame as an action hero, especially because of his involvement in the Die Hard film franchise from 1988 to 2013. Born to an American father and German mother in Germany, Willis, and his family moved to the United States when he was two years old — probably with the help of a moving company.

During the peak of his career, he was consistently one of the highest-paid actors in the industry, and since the 1980s, he has been accumulating hundreds of millions of dollars from his films. In 2009, Willis signed a four-year deal with French liquor company, Belvedere, which is a company that produces high-quality vodka. In exchange for the right to put his name on the label, and in the brand campaigns, Willis was given cash and a 2.6% equity stake.
