How Rich Is Suri Cruise? Inside Her Hollywood Projects and Tom Cruise’s Financial Support
Katie Holmes is worth an estimated $15 million and Tom Cruise a staggering $600 million—so where does that leave their daughter Suri, now known as Suri Noelle? Here’s the real figure behind Hollywood’s most private star kid.
Quick check-in on the Cruise-Holmes kid: Suri turned 19, she is deep into sophomore year, and yes, the money stuff is still a thing. Here is what is actually known about her finances, what is rumor, and what Tom and Katie are still paying for.
So what is Suri actually worth?
Short answer: no one outside the family and their lawyers really knows. Katie Holmes is estimated at $15 million and Tom Cruise at $600 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, so Suri was never exactly headed for a ramen-only budget. But an exact figure for her is not public.
What did change when she turned 18 last April: a trust set up in the Cruise-Holmes divorce reportedly kicked in. Multiple reports say that made her a teenage millionaire, though no one has put a confirmed dollar amount on it. The trust is substantial, but it is not a one-and-done payout.
"It is part of the divorce deal that a trust fund provided by Tom Cruise be shared with daughter Suri Cruise when she turns 18, and it is substantial."
Here is how that is structured, according to those reports: she gained access to part of the trust at 18, with the rest locked until she hits 30. The idea is to keep it from landing all at once so an 18-year-old is not overwhelmed. On top of that, Holmes also set up her own trust for Suri to make sure she is well provided for and living comfortably.
What Tom still pays for (and what he does not)
Timeline refresher: Cruise and Holmes started seeing each other in April 2005, were engaged by June, had Suri in April 2006, and married on November 18, 2006. They split in June 2012, when Suri was six, and Holmes got primary custody. According to law firm Mello & Pickering, LLP, that divorce deal came together unusually fast.
The settlement had Cruise paying $400,000 a year in child support, which is roughly $33,000 a month. Now that Suri is over 18, that monthly support likely stopped, but he is still on the hook for specific costs spelled out in the divorce documents: schooling and college, plus medical, dental, insurance, and extracurriculars.
She is at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, and Cruise is reportedly covering about $65,000 a year for tuition. Despite the well-documented distance between them, sources say he has never missed a payment and continues to cover what he agreed to.
The money, at a glance
- Katie Holmes net worth: about $15 million; Tom Cruise: about $600 million (Celebrity Net Worth)
- Child support during minority: $400,000 per year ($33,000 per month) until age 18
- Post-18 obligations: medical, dental, insurance, education, college, and extracurriculars (per divorce docs)
- College: about $65,000 per year for Carnegie Mellon tuition reportedly covered by Cruise
- Trust fund: partial access at 18; remainder unlocks at 30; total said to be substantial, amount not publicly confirmed
- Holmes also created a separate trust for Suri to ensure long-term support
Where things stand with the family
Cruise and Suri were last photographed together back in April 2013. She no longer goes by the surname Cruise publicly, and now uses Suri Noelle, taking Holmes's middle name. Make of that what you will, but again, the money side has reportedly stayed consistent.
Has Suri worked in Hollywood?
Quietly, yes. She reportedly popped up for an uncredited cameo in Tom Cruise's 2013 sci-fi movie Oblivion, playing his character's daughter. More recently, she lent her singing voice to two of Holmes's indie films, Alone Together (2022) and Rare Objects (2023). None of that screams full-time career yet, but she likely earned something for the gigs.
She has also done stage at school, including Morticia Addams in The Addams Family and Philoclea in Head Over Heels. This past August, she was spotted visiting Holmes on the New York set of the new film Happy Hours. For now, though, she seems focused on classes and keeping the rest low-key.
What comes next?
She is 19, a sophomore, and sitting on a safety net that pays out in stages. Whether she leans into acting, music, or something totally outside the family business is TBD. We will see where she aims once the Carnegie Mellon chapter wraps.
