Introduction

Susan Sarandon is an American professional actress and activist with an estimated net worth of $60 Million.

In a career spanning close to six decades, Susan Sarandon has starred in more than 170 films and television shows, which is more than 90% of the actors we research. She’s also won 66 awards, including an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the 1996 film, Dead Man Walking.

This profile details our research into Susan Sarandon’s net worth, film earnings, highest-grossing films, and real estate investments.

Quick Facts

• Reportedly earned $7.5 million for starring in Moonlight Mile
• Grossed more than $2.9 billion at the global box office

Film Earnings

Unfortunately, despite the sheer volume of projects Sarandon has worked on over the years, very few of her past salaries are publicly known. In fact, we found just three of her past paychecks, and while other outlets have estimated earnings for additional films, there’s a lot of guesswork involved.

When Susan starred as Michaela Odone in the 1992 medical drama, Lorenzo’s Oil, she reportedly received a $3.5 million salary. After adjusting for inflation, this would equate to roughly $8.3 million in today’s dollars.

Two years later, she landed a role alongside Tommy Lee Jones in The Client (1994), which earned her approximately $5 million. Finally, her only other known paycheck was $7.5 million for starring alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Dustin Hoffman in Moonlight Mile (2002).

Highest-Grossing Films

Here’s a complete list of Susan Sarandon’s ten highest-grossing films:

1. Enchanted – $340 million (2007)
2. Cats & Dogs – $201 million (2001)
3. Shall We Dance? – $170 million (2004)
4. Stepmom – $160 million (1998)
5. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps – $135 million (2010)
6. Blue Beetle – $131 million (2023)
7. A Bad Moms Christmas – $131 million (2017)
8. Cloud Atlas – $131 million (2012)
9. The Client – $118 million (1994)
10. The Rocky Horror Picture Show – $116 million (1975)

SPiN Investment

Now that we’ve looked at Susan Sarandon’s acting career and earnings from film, let’s discuss one of the ways in which she has invested that money. The actress’s most notable investment has been in SPiN, the ping-pong club and restaurant business.

SPiN was first launched in 2009 by film producer Jonathan Bricklin, Andre Gordon, and Franck Raharinosy. A year later, Bricklin became romantically involved with Sarandon, which ultimately led to her investment in SPiN and, later, to her becoming a co-owner of the New York location.

To date, the company now has nine locations across the United States and Canada, including:

• Boston
• Chicago
• New York
• Philadelphia
• San Francisco
• Seattle
• Toronto
• Washington DC

It’s not exactly clear where Sarandon’s investment stands today, particularly since her relationship with Bricklin ended in the mid-2010s. Nonetheless, SPiN remains her best-known investment.

Real Estate

According to public records, in June 1995, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins paid $1.675 million for a 5,552-square-foot, four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in Pound Ridge, New York. The property, which sits on a secluded 7.21-acre lot, is still registered under a trust co-owned by Sarandon and Robbins. According to Zillow, it’s worth an estimated $4.8 million.

He has worked on some of the biggest film franchises in history, including Harry Potter, Batman, and Kung Fu Panda.

Introduction

Bradley Cooper is an American professional actor and filmmaker with an estimated net worth of $100 Million. 

Although most people know him from The Hangover Trilogy, many of his biggest paydays have come later in his career. Cooper’s films have grossed $13.05 billion worldwide, placing him among the top ten highest-grossing actors of all time.

This is primarily due to his voice-acting role as Rocket within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cooper has worked on six films voicing the character, earning an estimated $25-$30 million.

His single largest payday came from banking on himself by forfeiting his salary from A Star Is Born, a movie he directed, produced, and co-wrote. The film is currently the eleventh-highest-grossing of his career, earning him an estimated $40 million.

Quick Facts

• Only received $600,000 for the original The Hangover film
• Earned roughly $50 million from The Hangover trilogy
• Forfeited salary for A Star is Born to re-invest in production
• Earned an estimated $40 million from A Star is Born (10% backend)
• He was paid $5 million to voice Rocket in Avengers: Infinity War
• Potentially earned between $25-$30 million from Marvel

Earnings & Salary

The Hangover Trilogy Salaries

Cooper’s earliest recorded salaries originate from his breakthrough role as Phil in The Hangover trilogy. Although the first movie in the franchise had a $35 million production budget, the four prominent cast members were paid less than $1 million each. Cooper was reportedly paid the most, at $600,000, due to his greater star power than that of Helms, Galifianakis, and Bartha. 

The film grossed $469 million at the box office despite Warner Bros.’ doubts, which led to two higher-paying sequels for the cast. When a new deal was negotiated for The Hangover Part II, all four prominent cast members received a $5 million salary plus 4% of the backend gross profits. The movie grossed $587 million worldwide against a $80 million budget, earning each actor an estimated $20 million. Including their upfront salary, this became a $25 million payday for Cooper.

For the third movie in the trilogy, the actors were now asking for a $15 million upfront salary plus a backend percentage. While the exact percentage remains undisclosed, it was likely close to 4%. However, The Hangover Part III struggled at the box office, bringing in just $362 million on a much higher $103 million budget (presumably due to inflated cast salaries). The cast would have earned roughly $25 million apiece for the third installment if our calculations are correct.

This would put Cooper’s earnings from the trilogy at $51 million. The exact number will likely be between $45 and $55 million.

A Star is Born Earnings

Cooper’s 2018 passion project, A Star Is Born, which featured Lady Gaga, was the highest payday of his career. In addition to starring in the film with Gaga, Cooper co-wrote the script and directed and produced it. He forfeited his upfront salary to reinvest in the production budget. His share was roughly 10%, earning him $40 million on a film that grossed $435 million.

Marvel Salary

Cooper has voiced the character of Rocket in three Guardians of the Galaxy films, two Avengers films, and Thor: Love and Thunder. He earned roughly $5 million for Avengers: Infinity War, and Pratt also earned $5 million by playing Star-Lord in the movie. The cast was paid lower salaries for the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films, and while Cooper’s salary has not been disclosed, he could have earned $3-$5 million from Vol. and Vol. 2 combined. 

For the third movie, Pratt’s salary increased dramatically to $20 million, so it’s anybody’s guess as to how much Cooper earned. His earnings likely ranged from $25 million to $30 million across the six MCU films he’s worked on.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Cooper’s role voicing Rocket in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is responsible for six of his ten highest-grossing movies. The character appeared in both Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War, which grossed over $2 billion apiece at the global box office, for a combined $4.85 billion. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1-3 grossed $2.5 billion, and Thor: Love and Thunder grossed $761 million. 

Joker is an outlier in the list, as Cooper didn’t act in the film but helped co-produce it. It grossed $335 million domestically and $1.08 billion worldwide against a budget of just $55 million.

Here’s a complete list of Bradley Cooper’s ten highest-grossing movies:

1. Avengers: Endgame – $2.8 Billion (2019)
2. Avengers: Infinity War – $2.05 Billion (2018)
3. Joker – $1.08 Billion (2019)
4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – $864 Million (2017)
5. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – $846 Million (2023)
6. Guardians of the Galaxy – $773 Million (2014)
7. Thor: Love and Thunder – $761 Million (2022)
8. The Hangover Part II – $587 Million (2011)
9. American Sniper – $548 Million (2014)
10. The Hangover – $469 Million (2009)
