Lena Gieseke is famous for being the wife of an American film director, film producer, writer, poet, and stop-motion artist. Here we will discuss her husband’s successful career.
Lena Gieseke’s husband, Tim Burton
Tim Burton is an American film director, film producer, writer, poet, and stop-motion artist who has a net worth of 100 million dollars. Tim Burton is most widely recognized for his films Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Corpse Bride. Tim’s net worth would be much higher if it wasn’t for two marriages and one breakup of a long-term relationship. Tim was in a relationship with Helena Bonham Carter, without being legally married, from 2001 to 2014.
Their exact settlement details are not known, but as an example, she received roughly $20 million worth of real estate alone after they separated. Burton’s vision was taken to the next level with the film Beetlejuice (1988), which was another hit. Next, Warner Bros let Tim take the helm of their highly anticipated Batman (1989) because he had proven that he was able to produce highly popular and profitable films on modest and limited budgets. Despite some initial setbacks, including public backlash over Burton’s decision to cast Micheal Keaton in the role of Batman despite him not fitting into the macho superhero-type image, Batman was a monster success, earning more than $400 million at the global box office.
In 1990, Burton used his success to produce an extremely personal project, Edward Scissorhands, which became another cult classic sleeper hit. With this film, he had full creative control, from penning the story to producing the final product. He has said that to him, this film represents the struggle he had with communicating effectively with others as a teenager. It was also the first time Tim put Johnny Depp in one of his films; they would go on to enjoy an extensive working relationship, with Depp starring in eight of Burton’s films, such as Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), the animated film Corpse Bride (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Alice in Wonderland (2010), and Dark Shadows (2012).
Tim’s longtime (former) partner Helena Bonham Carter was also featured alongside Depp in many of these films; in total, she has appeared in seven Burton films. Other films Burton has directed include Batman Returns (1991), the sequel to the 1989 Batman film, Mars Attacks! (1996). Burton has also produced many films, including the Disney animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).
