Just How Wealthy is Tom Cruise? Here's What His 2023 Net Worth Looks Like
Take a seat before we give you the numbers.
We all know Hollywood stars are incredibly rich, but some actors' wealth just goes through the roof — and Tom Cruise is one of these lucky and successful people. One of the most recognizable stars of our time, Cruise always knew he wanted to be an actor and started out on his career as soon as he finished high school. At 19, he made his acting debut in Endless Love, a romantic drama, playing the protagonist's friend Billy.
Just five years later, the now-iconic actor landed a starring role in the 1986 movie Top Gun, which grossed $360 million in the box office worldwide, becoming Cruise's first most famous and lucrative project at the time. In 2022, the sequel movie Top Gun: Maverick was released, amassing a whopping $1.5 billion.
Tom Cruise also famously portrays Ethan Hunt in the massively popular franchise Mission: Impossible. The seventh film in the series, Dead Reckoning Part One, is expected to come out in theaters on July 12 of this year, and the eighth one is set to premiere in 2024. The six Mission Impossible movies that are currently released have earned a total of $3.6 billion worldwide, and if the upcoming installments are as successful as their predecessors, the franchise is expected to gross over $5 billion.
Given the financial success of Cruise's projects, you can expect the actor to boast some astounding net worth figures. And this is indeed so, as Tom Cruise is reportedly worth a stupendous $600 million!
The actor's paycheck amount or his backend cut for Mission: Impossible Parts 7 and 8 hasn't been disclosed, and the numbers provided by Celebrity Net Worth probably do not reflect his income from the two movies. With this in mind, we can predict that Tom Cruise's net worth is going to rise even higher in the following year.
Aside from Mission: Impossible, Cruise's fortune includes his earnings from The Last Samurai (raked in $457 million at the box office) and War of the Worlds ($604 million). Reportedly, the actor received around a whopping $100 million for each of these films.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will premiere on July 12, 2023.
