Francis Ford Coppola places seventh on the list of the richest film directors (he gets the spot over the Wachowskis because he did it on his own and racked up five Oscars along the way). Because of films like Apocalypse Now and The Godfather, which are regularly cited as being among the greatest films of all-time, Coppola is widely considered one of the best—if not the best—film directors of the 20th century. Even The Godfather Part III, which pales in comparison to Parts I and II, received seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.
