Are you serious? Of course they have that kind of money. Take a look at this list:
List of highest-paid actors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruce Willis (#2 on the list) earned $103 million just for "The Sixth Sense", just one movie out of all he has done in his career.

I'm sure Charlton Heston also earned plenty from work outside of acting such as speaking engagements and such. Many famous people earn up to $50,000 for giving a speech. Heston probably wasn't in that category, but he certainly could have gotten $10,000 for an appearance.
