Introduction

Bruce Willis is an American former professional actor and producer with an estimated net worth of $250 Million.

Although now retired, Willis had an incredible film career that spanned four decades. He starred in almost 150 films and television series, which grossed $6.37 billion at the global box office. The most significant highlights of his career include The Sixth Sense, his highest-grossing movie, and his role as John McClane in the Die Hard franchise.

At the peak of his acting career, Willis regularly commanded $15-$20 million per movie. Most significantly, due to an interesting set of events in the late 90s, he earned the highest compensation for an actor from a single film. His role in The Sixth Sense would earn Willis over $100 million, primarily due to backend points.

Quick Facts

Earned $100-$120 million compensation from The Sixth Sense
Die Hard franchise accounts for $70-$80 million of his earnings
Regular commanded $20 million per movie in the late ’90s to mid-2000s
Agreed to a fee of just $800,000 for 1994’s Pulp Fiction

Acting Career

Bruce Willis got his start in the TV series Moonlighting in 1985 after competing with 3,000 other actors for the role of David Addison. This show helped establish him as a comedic actor, and he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his performance.

He landed his first lead role in the film Blind Date and, the same year, was cast in the critically acclaimed film Die Hard. Following the unprecedented success of Die Hard, Willis was cast in In Country and found modest success as a recording artist.

Bruce Willis reprised his role as John McClane in Die Hard 2 in 1990 and again in Die Hard with a Vengeance in 1995. However, during the 90s, Willis also starred in many flops, including Hudson Hawk and The Bonfire of the Vanities. Fortunately, he had plenty of successes, especially in 1994, when he was cast in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

In 1996, he was the executive producer and star of the cartoon Bruno the Kid and appeared in the film Beavis and Butt-head Do America. After another brief slump at the end of the 90s, Willis returned in Michael Bay’s Armageddon, the highest-grossing film of 1998. The following year, he appeared in M. Night Shyamalan’s movie The Sixth Sense, another critical and commercial success.

The 2000s

In 2000, Bruce Willis won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series after appearing in Friends. He then appeared in the 2005 film adaptation of Sin City and voiced RJ the Raccoon in Over the Hedge. Two years later, he reprised his role as John McClane in Live Free or Die Hard and then joined Tracy Morgan in Cop Out.

In 2012, Willis joined Edward Norton and Bill Murray in Moonrise Kingdom, followed by an appearance in Looper. Willis was cast in Fire with Fire and then reprised his role as John McClane for a fifth time in A Good Day to Die Hard. After hosting Saturday Night Live in 2013, he made his Broadway debut in an adaptation of Stephen King’s Misery.

In 2018, he was roasted on Comedy Central and had a cameo in the 2019 film The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.

Health Decline & Retirement

During the final years of his career, Bruce Willis starred in several independent thrillers and sci-fi films, often in minor roles. However, those working with him in his later films usually stated that he appeared confused and was fed lines via an earpiece. These roles earned him many Golden Raspberry Awards, and they even added a designated category for Willis’ worst performances.

In 2022, Willis’ family announced he was retiring after he was diagnosed with aphasia, a disorder that caused language and comprehension difficulties. Subsequently, the Golden Raspberry Awards retracted his awards and eliminated his category, apologizing for his medical condition. At the time of his retirement, Willis had 11 films waiting to come out, which he’d taken to ensure his family’s financial security.

In 2023, Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, the same as Wendy Williams, and his condition had progressed.

Die Hard Franchise

Willis’ most beloved role as John McClane in the Die Hard franchise brought the actor some impressive paydays. When Willis was cast in the original Die Hard (1988), he earned $5 million, an amazing salary for the 1980s. In today’s currency, it would be equivalent to $13.3 million. Despite no longer being one of his ten best-performing box office movies, at the time, it grossed $144 million against a budget of $28 million.

For Die Hard 2 (1990), his salary increased by 50% to $7.5 million, and from there, it doubled to $15 million for Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995). By this point, the franchise had become a license to print money. The fourth movie, Live Free or Die Hard, was released over a decade later, earning Willis $25 million. Reports for his salary from the fifth installment, A Good Day to Die Hard, are mixed. However, he’s more than likely to have also earned $25 million.

Willis more than likely earned a solid $75-$80 million from the Die Hard franchise.

The Sixth Sense Earnings

One film in Bruce’s past earned him more money than all five Die Hard films combined. In 1997, David Vogel, a Walt Disney Executive, purchased the film rights to The Sixth Sense from M. Night Shyamalan for $3 million. Vogel also allowed Shyamalan to direct the film, something he didn’t have much experience with at the time.

When Michael Eisner, then Disney CEO, found out, Vogel was fired, and the film rights were offloaded to Spyglass in exchange for Disney keeping 12.5% of the gross profits, which is where Bruce Willis came into the picture. He was offered a $14 million salary upfront, plus 17.5% of the gross profits. After the movie grossed $673 million worldwide against a budget of $40 million, Willis walked away with roughly $100-$120 million.

Other Movie Salaries

Willis often commanded $15-$20 million per movie throughout his career. One of his best years was in 2000, when he earned $20 million for Unbreakable and $20 million for The Kid. He also earned $22.5 million in 2002 for Hart’s War.

Three Stories About Joan Lawsuit

In late 2008, Willis was preparing to star in and make his directorial debut in Three Stories About Joan. However, in September of that year, Willis reportedly left the project due to disagreements about funding and production timelines. The film was being produced by three production companies: Foresight Unlimited, Signature Entertainment Group, and Three Stories Production.

Following his departure, all three companies filed a joint lawsuit against Willis and his production company, Willis Brothers Films, seeking $4 million in damages. The three companies claimed that by leaving the project, Willis had damaged pre-sales of the film and other production arrangements that were relying on his involvement.

The central part of the dispute centered on the $20 million budget that the producers had attempted to raise from multiple sources, including pre-sales of the film. Having Willis as both director and star was a key selling point in negotiations with distributors. Unfortunately for the producers, after Willis quit, the deals secured to fund the movie began to collapse. This meant that the producers lost not only the money they had already spent, but also the money they had expected to earn upon the movie’s completion.

However, within days of the lawsuit, Willis countersued the producers, alleging that the three production companies had failed to finance the project properly. According to statements made by Willis and his legal team, the contract he had signed stipulated that shooting would only start once all funding was secured. Willis said the producers hadn’t provided any proof of having the money, and as a result, he wouldn’t be directing the film. However, by August 2010, both lawsuits had been dismissed, though no details were made public, which usually indicates that a settlement had been reached or both parties agreed to drop the cases.

Highest-Grossing Movies

The top-grossing movie of Willis’ career is The Sixth Sense, which grossed $673 million at the global box office against a budget of $40 million. The oldest movie to make it in Willis’ top ten was 1989’s Look Who’s Talking, which grossed $297 million.

Although most Bruce Willis fans know and love him from his iconic role in the Die Hard franchise, only three of the five movies reached the top ten: A Good Day to Die Hard (9th, $305 million), Die Hard with a Vengeance (5th, $366 million), and Live Free or Die Hard (3rd, $388 million). As for the other two films, Die Hard 2 grossed $240 million, while the original Die Hard grossed $144 million, not even cracking the top 25. In total, the franchise grossed $1.44 billion.

Here’s a complete list of Bruce Willis’ ten highest-grossing movies:

The Sixth Sense – $673 million (1999)
Armageddon – $554 million (1998)
Live Free or Die Hard – $388 million (2007)
G.I. Joe: Retaliation – $376 million (2013)
Die Hard with a Vengeance – $366 million (1995)

Over the Hedge – $340 million (2006)

Introduction

Jessica Alba is an American professional actress and businesswoman with an estimated net worth of $100 Million.

Net Worth History

Since founding The Honest Company in 2011, Jessica Alba’s net worth has been heavily dependent on the company’s valuation. We’ll discuss the details of the business shortly. At its peak in late 2015, Honest was valued at $1.7 billion, with Alba holding a 20% stake worth roughly $340 million. When the company launched its IPO in 2021, Alba’s stake had declined to roughly 6.2%, worth $130 million. In recent years, Honest’s stock price has crashed, and the company is currently valued at just $273 million. Alba’s stake? Assuming she still owns 6.2% of the business, her stake would be worth just $13.7 million today.

As a result, estimates of Alba’s net worth have fluctuated heavily over the past years. We previously listed a figure of $200 million, but have since updated our estimates to reflect the decline in the company’s valuation. At the time of writing, Jessica Alba is worth an estimated $100 Million.

Before Wealth & Fame

Although Jessica Alba was born in California, she moved frequently throughout her childhood, including brief periods in Mississippi and Texas, because of her father’s service in the US Air Force. At a young age, Alba suffered from several different health issues, which led to her spending a lot of time in the hospital. Because of this, she became very shy and introverted, often feeling socially disconnected from other children.

When Jessica was 11 years old, her mother discovered an advertisement for an acting competition. She later entered for fun but won free acting classes as a result. The class instructor introduced her to an agent, which helped her begin her journey to a professional acting career.

Acting Career

In the early 1990s, Jessica Alba landed roles in numerous television shows, including The Secret World of Alex Mack, Chicago Hope, and ABC Afterschool Specials. However, her breakout role during this time was when she was cast as Maya Graham in the 1995 reboot of the Flipper TV series. Alba was just fourteen years old at the time, and from 1995 to 1997, she starred in 44 episodes.

The remainder of the 1990s saw Jessica begin landing lead roles in films such as P.U.N.K.S., Never Been Kissed, and Idle Hands. In 2000, Alba was cast as the lead character, Max Guevera, in the FOX drama Dark Angel. This was her first significant lead role in a television show, in which she starred in all 42 episodes.

However, after Dark Angel was canceled due to a drop in viewership, Alba took a long break from television to focus on landing higher-budget movie roles. The 2000s were the most successful decade of her career at the box office, with roles in films such as Fantastic Four (2005) and its sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), alongside Chris Evans, Ioan Gruffudd, and Julian McMahon. Later, she would also appear alongside Jason Statham in Mechanic: Resurrection (2016).

Throughout her three-decade-long acting career, Jessica Alba has starred in over seventy-five different films and television shows, grossing over $1.8 billion at the global box office.

The Honest Company

In 2011, Jessica Alba co-founded The Honest Company, a business aimed at creating “safe, effective products” in the baby and beauty markets. The company sells a wide range of products designed for sensitive skin, including diapers, wipes, body wash, shampoo, lotions, cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup.

For many years, Alba’s net worth has been closely tied to The Honest Company’s valuation. The business sold $10 million worth of products in year one, and by 2015, they were generating over $150 million in revenue. During this initial growth period, they also raised several rounds of funding, including $6 million in seed funding shortly after launch. In 2014, Honest raised $70 million in financing, which valued the company at approximately $1 billion.

At some point in 2015, experts claimed that Alba owned as much as 20% of The Honest Company, which, given the above valuation, would have been worth $200 million. Jessica’s stake would inevitably be diluted over the next few rounds of fundraising, which included $75 million in 2017 and an additional $200 million in private equity in 2018.

IPO & Decline

Honest’s valuation peaked at an estimated $1.7 billion in late 2015, meaning that Alba’s stake reached a peak-value of roughly $340 million. When the company launched its IPO in May 2021, Alba held 5.65 million shares valued at $23 per share at closing. This equated to roughly 6.2% of the company, worth $130 million.

Unfortunately, in the first few years after going public, Honest began to struggle. By June 2022, the share price had crashed down to just $2.92/share. Despite a brief recovery to $8.4/share in 2024, it was only temporary. At the time of writing, The Honest Company has a share price of $2.44 with a market valuation of just $273 million. Assuming that she still owns all 5.65 million shares, her stake in the company would now be worth just $13.8 million.

Real Estate

Beverly Hills Home

In 2008, Alba purchased a five-bedroom, 5,277-square-foot estate in Beverly Hills for $4.05 million. She lived there for nearly a decade, eventually relisting the property in 2019 for $6.195 million. A deal was finalized for the asking price in April 2019.

Beverly Hills Mansion

In January 2017, Alba and her then-husband, Cash Warren, paid $9.95 million for an 8,829-square-foot house in the same area. The home had been on and off the market since 2015. It was initially listed for $15 million and eventually reduced to $11 million before the couple bagged a sweet discount. The home’s property taxes are estimated to be $128,000 annually, and its current valuation is roughly $12 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Here’s a complete list of Jessica Alba’s ten highest-grossing movies:

Fantastic Four – $334 million (2005)
Little Fockers – $311 million (2010)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – $302 million (2007)
Valentine’s Day – $217 million (2010)

Mechanic: Resurrection – $126 million (2016)
Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World – $86 million (2011)

Total Calculated Earnings:		$327,725,000

Leonardo DiCaprio’s earliest recorded salary was $75,000 in 1992 for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Two years later, his salary doubled to $150,000 for The Quick and the Dead, and that same year, he earned his first 7-figure payday for The Basketball Diaries.

Titanic Salary

DiCaprio was only initially paid a $2.5 million upfront salary for his leading role in Titanic, but it was his biggest payday yet. While that figure may seem low, DiCaprio eventually earned an estimated $40 million, thanks to his 1.8% share of the gross backend, considering how much money the film earned.

Titanic grossed $674.3 million in the US and Canada and almost $2.3 billion worldwide against a budget of $200 million. It remains the fourth highest-grossing film globally and the only film produced in the 20th century to gross over $2 billion. The next highest 20th-century film on the list, Jurassic Park (1993), grossed just $1.1 billion. After his $2.5 million salary, DiCaprio’s 1.8% backend should have been worth roughly an additional $37 million.

Inception Earnings

After Titanic’s success, Leo immediately commanded a minimum of $20 million per movie. His $20 million salaries include Catch Me If You Can (2001), The Aviator (2003), Blood Diamond (2005), The Departed (2005), The Great Gatsby (2012), and The Revenant (2015).

However, one salary report that stands out is his 2009 earnings for Inception. In a similar situation to Titanic, DiCaprio opted for a share of the backend earnings, which resulted in total compensation of approximately $59 million.

Recent Acting Salaries

According to Puck News, DiCaprio’s most recent film, Killers of the Flower Moon, earned him $40 million in 2023. Considering that’s one-fifth of the movie’s $200 million budget, and it was a total flop at the box office, he earned an impressive sum. Before that, he earned $30 million in 2021 for Don’t Look Up.

Highest-Grossing Movies

These are Leonardo DiCaprio’s highest-grossing movies:

Titanic – $2.26 billion (1997)
Inception – $839 million (2010)
The Revenant – $533 million (2015)
Django Unchained – $426 million (2012)
