James Cameron directed several of the most expensive movies, showcasing his engineering mindset and innovative techniques in filmmaking.
Cameron, a film industry veteran whose scores of credits include "The Terminator" and "Titanic," began compiling the estate in the late 1980s, buying an 8,300-square-foot home with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. He added the place next door in 2003, buying the 7,700-square-foot home of late actor George C. Scott.

For most, filmmaking isn't a lucrative profession. But for a select few, it can really pay off. In an industry where few want to be a part of failures and seemingly everyone wants a piece of the successes, these five directors have risen above the fray to not just be master storytellers, but get paid like them. James Cameron, who has made the highest-grossing movies of all time on numerous occasions, is the latest to join the three-comma club.
'The Abyss' gave us the first 'photorealistic' computer-generated character, while 'Terminator 2' pioneered advanced morphing effects and the far more extensive use of CGI. 'Titanic' seamlessly blended digital assets with large-scale practical sets in order to create what's still the most transportive disaster movie ever made, while 'Avatar' and 2022's ' The Way of Water' took performance-capture technology to such extraordinary new heights - and depths.
The RSPCA is really concerned that a loophole currently exists allowing animal abuse scenes deemed unacceptable elsewhere to be streamed freely and legally into our homes.
