Being perhaps one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, it should come as no surprise the actor Tom Cruise has an insane amount of money. He’s played countless iconic roles, from Ethan Hunt to Jack Reacher (just don’t mention The Mummy). He has also been credited with saving cinema, particularly with Top Gun: Maverick, which audiences showed up in droves to see. And now it looks like he’s doing it again with Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One. But just how much money does the Hollywood star have right now?
Tom Cruise earns a lot
If I told you that his average yearly salary comes in at about $50 million that would probably be an indication as to just how large his net worth is. His films make billions; Top Gun: Maverick raked in an impressive $1.49 billion making it the biggest hit of his entire career (so far). To be fair the actor received a fat paycheck of $100 million for that film up front, but that doesn’t even include the royalties he was no doubt paid, so he likely made a whole lot more.
So with the kind of sway Cruise has in the industry we know that studios will pay him ludicrous amounts for his films. Although, to be fair he earns it, as he performs pretty much all of his own stunts; there are countless examples of the actor putting his own life at risk doing something crazy — you can find the behind the scenes online, as that’s kind of what he’s known for. However, he also produces a lot of the movies he works on, so that means even more credit for him.
So what’s his net worth now?
The actors net worth currently stands at $620 million, making him one of the richest actors/producers in Hollywood. That’s an insane amount of money — for context, other action movie stars have way less, take Henry Cavill for example. The British actor’s net worth is $40 million. Sylvester Stallone’s net worth is $400 million. Even Beyonce sits $120 million under Cruise, with a $500 million net worth (I know she’s not an action star, but she’s pretty rich.)
It’s likely Tom Cruise will only continue to rake in the money as his influence over audiences doesn’t seem to be waning. Plus he’s only sixty so he’s got a few more good years of acting if he wants. But then again; he could happily retire and live to a hundred without a single worry with that amount of dough.
