Every year since 1985, People magazine has been naming their "Sexiest Man Alive," and in that time 33 men have received the coveted title. Sexiest Man Alive is, of course, a complete matter of opinion, and therefore there will always be those who don't agree with the men chosen. One thing that can't be denied, however, is that all of these men have had incredibly successful careers.
While three winners of the title have since passed away (Patrick Swayze, Sean Connery, and John F. Kennedy Jr.), there are thirty winners who remain active and working to this day.
Of those thirty men, who has had the most financially successful career? Read on to find out. (All net worth calculations from Celebrity Net Worth.)

8 Harrison Ford - $300 Million Net Worth
The man who brought beloved characters like Han Solo and Indiana Jones to life, Harrison Ford, was named People's Sexiest Man Alive in 1998 when he was 56 years old.

7 Keanu Reeves - $380 Million Net Worth
The Matrix and John Wick star Keanu Reeves was named People's Sexiest Man Alive for 1994. However, People originally did not name a Sexiest Man Alive in 1994, and the honor was retroactively given to Reeves in 2015. In 1994, Reeves was 30 years old, and when he received the honor in 2015 he was 51. The beloved actor currently has a net worth of $380 million.
6 Cindy Crawford - $400 Million Net Worth
In 1993, People changed things up and announced a "Sexiest Couple Alive" in 1993, and the winners were Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford. So while she may not be a man, supermodel Cindy Crawford is still technically on the list of Sexiest Man Alive winners, albeit with an asterisk next to her name. Richard Gere has done quite well for himself with a $120 million net worth, but Cindy Crawford's $400 million net worth dwarfs her ex-husband's.
5 Mel Gibson - $425 Million Net Worth
Mel Gibson was the very first person to be named People's Sexiest Man Alive when he graced the cover of the magazine in 1985. The actor and director currently has a net worth of $425 million.

Soccer star David Beckham is the only person on this list who is not an actor, singer, or entertainer of some kind. He is also one of only two men on this particular list to have received the honor within the past decade, the other being Dwayne Johnson. Beckham was named People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2015 when he was 40 years old, and he currently has a net worth of $450 million.
3 George Clooney - $500 Million Net Worth
George Clooney was named People's Sexiest Man Alive twice. The first time came in 1997 when he was 36, while the second time came almost a decade later in 2006, when he was 45. The Oscar-winning actor, director, and producer currently has a net worth of $500 million.
2 Tom Cruise - $600 Million Net Worth
