Edward Norton | Grandson of James Rouse

The actor and producer may not be as active in both TV and film these days, but there’s no need to worry when it comes to his finances. After all, not only has Edward Norton amassed quite a fortune through his acting work, he has also made bank when it comes to his investments in technology start-ups. This same entrepreneurial attitude must have been something he inherited from his grandfather, James Rouse. As the founder of The Rouse Company, he managed to accumulate quite a fortune and also developed a number of shopping malls along the way.

Did you know that James Rouse was the pioneer of enclosed shopping malls? He is also the co-founder of Enterprise Community Partners, which has steadily earned billions of dollars since its establishment in 1982. Quite the legacy, right? We’re sure he’d be proud to know his grandson is doing something similar!
