Tom Cruise is a household name but he was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV in the state of New York and spent part of his childhood in Canada where his father took a job. The Golden Globe winner has been featured in an array of blockbuster movies over the years, including the entire Mission Impossible series of movies as well as Jerry McGuire, Risky Business, Top Gun, and Born on the Fourth of July, just to name a few.

Cruise began acting at the tender age of 16 when he landed the lead role in his high school’s production of Guys and Dolls. His first real movie role was in the wildly popular movie, Endless Love, in which he co-starred with Brooke Shields at the age of 19. He is said to have a net worth of about $570 million.

Cruise has three ex-wives, including Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes. He purchased a beautiful ranch, located in Telluride, Colorado, while married to Nicole Kidman and it is now on the market at a cool $59 million.

Cruise, who is well-known for his involvement with the Church of Scientology, helped design the home that was completed in 1994.
