Would be good to see this adjusted for inflation. There are some on this list who have been directing for over 45 years.

I like me some Coen Brothers, too. Not sure where they fall.

I wonder if there are e.g. Indian or Chinese directors this list is not aware of ...

There’s no movie industry that makes as much money as Hollywood. The highest grossing Chinese film made “only” 900 million usd while the highest grossing Indian film made even less, about 260 million usd. I assume it’s mostly because Hollywood movies can be popular in India and china but Indian and Chinese movies are almost never popular outside of their countries.

Ah, that makes sense (not saying it's good).
