Megan Ellison
Megan Ellison is probably the first name on this list you don't recognize, though if you listen closely, her name also appeared in Chastain's acceptance speech this weekend. Named Film School Rejects
"2012 Filmmaker of the Year," Ellison is a woman with a vision. Although she avoids the spotlight, Ellison and her production company Annapurna are the force behind indie films such as
The Hurt Locker and
The Master.
Yes, the fortune that she inherited from her billionaire father (Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation) certainly helps her to invest in these films without worrying about their financial returns, but Ellison is proving herself to be worth more than her weighty checkbook. For indie film lovers, Ellison is the most important person that you've never heard of.
