BUZZ ALDRIN – EST. $12 MILLION

On July 20, 1969, the first two humans to land on the moon were Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. Aldrin was the Apollo Lunar Module Pilot of the Apollo 11 mission. He was privileged and qualified to be part of the first giant leap of sending the first human-crewed lunar landing mission. In 1971, he left NASA and became a U.S. Air Force commandant of the Air Force Test Pilot School. He also had his first-ever book credit for writing his own autobiography, titled Return to Earth. At the age of 39, he created and developed the Aldrin cycler, which is designed to make travel to Mars more efficient. To this day, he managed to earn and save $12 million of net worth.

Buzz Aldrin’s life continues to feed the curiosity of people. He has been portrayed by actors and has been publishing several books over the years. The astronaut currently resides in California and has been known to be a cheerful, old man— he’s undoubtedly a rich one, too.
