In 2020, the couple announced they will be retiring from their role as senior members of the royal family in order to pursue financial independence.
Harry and Meghan have two major deals with projects set to release in the future – they have a deal with Netflix, as well as a deal with Spotify.

Early Life

Rachel Meghan Markle was born on the 4th August 1981, in Los Angeles, California. She has stated that she’s a proud and confident mixed-race woman; her father is Caucasian, and her mother is African-American. Her parents separated when she was two, and divorced when she was six. Despite the divorce, they both continued to have an active role in her life.

Meghan grew up in Hollywood, thanks to her father, Thomas Markle, who used to work in the TV industry. From the early age of 5, Markle was educated at private schools. Her high school, Immaculate Heart, was an all-girls private catholic school in LA. While attending school, Meghan began taking part in plays and musicals.

In 1999, she was admitted to Northwestern University. Between her junior and senior years, Meghan got an internship at the American embassy in Buenos Aires, working as a junior press officer. She briefly considered a political career, but unfortunately, her score on the Foreign Service Officer Test was too low for her to pursue it.

She graduated from Northwest’s School of Communication four years later (in 2003) with a double bachelor’s degree in International Studies and Theatre.

Career

As Markle first began acting, she was working as a freelance calligrapher. She also taught bookbinding. As she says, at first it was really difficult for her to get cast because of her ethnicity – she was not white enough for the white roles and not black enough for the black roles.

She made appearances on TV shows here and there, some of which you’ll see further on in the article. Her first on-screen role was in 2004, as a nurse in one of the episodes of a daytime soap opera called General Hospital.

Before she finally got her first regular role, she did a number of contract acting and modeling gigs. She also worked as a “briefcase girl” on a game show called Deal or No Deal.

Her most noticeable role began in July 2011, when she was cast as Rachel Zane on ‘Suits.’ Her character was a paralegal, who later went on to become a lawyer. She finished her work with the series in late 2017, after over six successful years with the series.

Markle has also dabbled in the film world, playing roles in films such as ‘Get Him to the Greek,’ ‘Horrible Bosses,’ and ‘Anti-Social’.

Aside from being quite a successful acting career, Meghan also had a lifestyle blog called “The Tig,” which she opened around 2014. There, she shared tips, advice and ideas on a variety of topics, from fashion to travel and beauty, The blog was shut down in 2017.

In 2020, Harry and Meghan announced a five-year Netflix deal that would include productions such as docuseries, documentaries, feature films, and children’s programming. Although it’s not known how much the deal is worth, it is estimated to be between $50 and $100 million.

The first project in the deal with Netflix has already premiered—a six-part docuseries titled ‘Harry and Meghan.’ It explores their relationship and everything they have had to deal with since it started, such as the British press not being accepting of Meghan.

Aside from the deal with Netflix, Harry and Meghan also have a deal with Spotify and Archewell Audio, which involves the production and hosting of podcasts. Their Spotify deal, signed in September 2020, is worth between $15 and $18 million. Meghan’s podcast, Archetypes, focuses on women, and the first episode dropped in 2022.

In 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan gave a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, discussing their relationship, family life, and mental health struggles.

Meghan also wrote a children’s book that was released in 2021 titled ‘The Bench’. Harry’s autobiographical book called ‘Spare’, on the other hand, is set to release on January 10th, 2023.

Earnings & Salary

There’s limited information about how much Meghan actually earned from her acting career. Still, we know her earnings from three of the biggest movies she acted in – she earned $187,000 from her role in ‘Remember Me,’ $171,429 from playing in ‘The Candidate’ and $153,846 from her role in ‘The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down.’

As for her salary on ‘Deal or No Deal,’ it is reported that Meghan earned about $800 per every episode she stared in.

Suits Salary

According to sources, Markle was paid $50,000 per episode for Suits. However, it’s unknown whether that figure covers all seven seasons. She likely received a salary increase at some point during the middle seasons. Assuming a $50,000 per episode floor pay, Markle would have earned $600,000 for season one and $800,000 apiece for seasons two through seven. In total, this equates to $5.4 million.

Personal Life

Before meeting Prince Harry, Meghan was married to a producer called Trevor Engelson. The couple tied the knot in 2011 and divorced two years later, in 2013.

In 2016, Meghan began dating Prince Harry, of the British Royal Family, the grandson of Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Harry is the younger child of Prince Charles (now King Charles III) and Princess Diana. His brother is Prince William, the future king of the United Kingdom, and his sister-in-law is Kate Middleton. Prince Harry and Megan were introduced to each other by a mutual friend.

In November 2017, they announced their engagement to the press. On May 19th, 2018, Harry and Meghan tied the knot at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. The wedding was the social event of the year, with several celebrities, such as Oprah Winfrey, Elton John, David and Victoria Beckham, and more in attendance. Recently Meghan revealed that it wasn’t their first time saying vows to each other – the exchange of vows actually happened three days prior to the wedding, in the couple’s garden with the Archbishop of Canterbury, although it wasn’t a legally recognized marriage.

As a result of marrying Prince Harry, Meghan gained the titles of the Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton, and Baroness Kilkeel.

A few months later, in October 2018, the royal couple announced that they are expecting a child, and in May 2019 their son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born. Their second child, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, was born two years later, in June of 2021.

Stepping Down from the Royal Family

At the beginning of 2020, Harry and Meghan decided to step down as senior members of the royal family. As they said in their Instagram statement released on January 8, 2020 “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support Her Majesty the Queen.”

As a result, the couple isn’t allowed to use the titles “His Royal Highness” and “Her Royal Highness” anymore. Harry, however, still holds the title of the prince, and the couple also kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.

They also aren’t founded by the Sovereign Grant anymore – it covered about 5% of their administrative and household expenses. The rest was covered by then Prince Charles, now King Charles III, and his Duchy of Cornwell estate. Due to their step down from official royal duties, that is no longer the case. However, King Charles III provided them with a “substantial sum” to help them transition to financial independence.

Finally, due to the step down, Harry and Meghan were no longer provided with the security arrangements that are normally in place to protect the senior royals. However, in July of 2022, Prince Harry was granted permission to challenge that in the High Court.

Meghan Markle – Net Worth Over the Years

Unfortunately, there’s not much information about Meghan Markle’s net worth throughout the years – however, what we do know is that Meghan entered her marriage to Harry with a net worth of $5 million. Harry, on the other hand, had a net worth of about $20 million, most of which came from a trust fund left to him by his late mother – Princess Diana.

What Does Meghan Spend Her Money On

In 2020, Harry and Meghan purchased an estate in Montecito, California. It is reported that they paid about $5 million in cash, and took out a mortgage for the rest (roughly $10 million). The estate includes nine bedrooms, sixteen bathrooms, a library room, a pool, a gym, a sauna, as well as a children’s cottage and a tea house. The property is surrounded by cypress trees and rose gardens.

They also had to pay back about $3 million for the renovation of their UK family home – the Frogmore Cottage.

Before Wealth & Fame

Kevin Darnell Hart was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the 6th of July, 1979. His mother raised Hart throughout childhood, and he has one brother named Robert. After attending the Community College of Philadelphia, he moved to New York City.

Hart found work as a shoe salesman but decided shortly after that to focus on his career as a stand-up comedian. He began his early career doing stand-up at an amateur nightclub in Philadelphia.

Acting & Comedy Career

Hart’s early career started when ABC gave him his own sitcom, The Big House. Hart played himself on the show. The outlandish storyline failed to resonate with audiences, and the show was canceled after just six episodes.

In 2006, Hart rebounded quickly with the release of his first stand-up album, I’m a Little Grown Man, which solidified his status as one of the best young comedians. Hart’s second album was released in 2010 and proved even bigger. Hart began his Laugh At My Pain tour in 2011, marking a significant breakthrough in his career. The tour later evolved into a concert documentary, solidifying Hart’s status as a full-fledged star.

Laugh at My Pain grossed $15 million and encompassed 90 cities. The tour was one of the year’s most successful comedy tours. Throughout Hart’s career, he has appeared in a diverse range of films, including Paper Soldiers (2002), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2004), Little Fockers (2010), Ride Along (2014), About Last Night (2014), and The Wedding Ringer (2015).

Since then, TV has treated Hart well; in 2012, he hosted the MTV Award show, and the following year, he landed a recurring role on the ABC comedy ‘Modern Family’. Hart also starred in series such as ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood and Workaholics’.

Throughout his career, Hart has collaborated with notable celebrities, including Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Ice Cube, Nick Jonas, and Tiffany Haddish, among others.

2020	$39,000,000

Between 2013 and 2020, Kevin Hart was consistently ranked among the highest-paid comedians in the world, but his income still varied significantly from year to year. In 2013, Kevin Hart earned an estimated $14 million.

2016 was the most critical year of his career thus far, when he became the world’s highest-paid comedian, earning $87.5 million. That year, Hart continued to perform on What Now? Tour, which exceeded $100 million in gross revenues. He was also consistently commanding higher salaries for film roles, starring in Central Intelligence and The Secret Life of Pets that year.

Since then, Hart’s earnings have declined slightly, but between 2018 and 2020, he continued to generate between $57 million and $59 million per year from all his endeavors. Between 2013 and 2020, Kevin Hart is estimated to have earned at least $317.5 million.

He was also paid approximately $10 million for starring in the 2017 Jumanji reboot, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and subsequently earned a reported $30 million for starring in the 2019 sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level.

TKO Salary

According to Variety, Hart was paid $500,000 per episode for hosting TKO. We’re unsure if this applies to both shows, but if it does, he would have earned $7.5 million.

How Does Kevin Hart Spend His Money?

Kevin Hart loves cars, and for his 40th birthday, he bought himself a $800,000 1970 Plymouth Barracuda custom-made by Speedkore. The previous year, Hart gifted himself a Ferrari 488 worth roughly $300,000. His precious cars are carefully parked in His 900+ square-foot garage, with a 250-square-foot second-story pool house above, which cost him approximately $170,000.

Other than that, Hart dropped $1.35 million on a 26-acre plot of land in an exclusive Calabasas gated community. His former house in Tarzana was purchased in April 2012 for $1,000 shy of $2 million ($1,999,000).

Besides cars, holidays, and mansions, he has an eye for designer watches. He owns 6 Rolex watches, which are part of his luxury watch collection, totaling 16 watches.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Surprisingly, only three of Hart’s top ten-grossing movies involve leading roles without voiceover work. The other seven are from cameos, supporting roles, or voiceover work in The Secret Life of Pets franchise. All three lead acting roles involved Hart working with co-star Dwayne Johnson.

She was somewhat absent from the industry in the mid-2000s, which led to a drop in earnings, down to an estimated $8 million/year for 2005 and 2006.

Between 2010 and 2018, Roberts typically earned between $12 million and $20 million annually, thanks to impressive paydays from Eat, Pray, Love, Mother’s Day, and Wonder. However, she was no longer commanding the $20+ million per film figure she used to.

Total Calculated Earnings:		$260,440,000

In the late 1980s, Julia Roberts earned under six figures per film, with paydays of $50,000 for Mystic Pizza (1988) and $90,000 for Steel Magnolias (1989). A year later, when she starred in Pretty Woman, which was arguably the film that launched her mainstream career, Roberts reportedly earned $300,000. The film’s success dramatically increased her earning potential, and before long, she received a $1 million payday for starring in Sleeping With the Enemy. That same year, Roberts also reportedly earned $3 million from Dying Young and $7 million from Hook.

In the mid-late 1990s, Roberts reached a stage where she was being paid upwards of $10 million per film. Her first recorded eight-figure payday came in 1997, when she earned $12 million for My Best Friend’s Wedding. To close out the decade, she received $11 million for Conspiracy Theory (1997), $15 million for Notting Hill (1999), and $17 million for Runaway Bride (1999).

As we briefly mentioned above, the early 2000s were some of the best years of Julia Roberts’ career. This is primarily due to her joining the $20+ million club with roles in Erin Brockovich, The Mexican, and Closer. During this time, her highest-recorded payday was $25 million for starring in Mona Lisa Smile (2003).

There was a short lull in the mid-2000s, but Roberts returned with a $15 million payday for 2009’s Duplicity, followed by $10 million for starring in Eat, Pray Love a year later. From then on, her earnings dropped to between $3 million and $6 million per film.

However, she recently made another comeback in 2023, starring in Leave the World Behind, for which she reportedly received $25 million. This brings Roberts’ earnings for all of her publicly known salaries, if we include her Homecoming salary (more on that below), to a total of $266.4 million. Of course, many films are missing from the list, so the actual number should be significantly higher.

Homecoming Salary

According to a report from Variety, Roberts was paid an estimated $650,000 per episode to star in Homecoming. They initially estimated her salary at $600,000 per episode in 2018 but increased this figure in their 2019 report. The show aired ten episodes in 2018, earning her $6 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

The majority of Roberts’ highest-grossing films came between 1999 and 2001, the same period during which she made the most money. Those films include Ocean’s Eleven (2001), which grossed $451 million; Notting Hill (1999), which grossed $364 million; Runaway Bride (1999), which grossed $309 million; and Erin Brockovich (2000), which grossed $256 million.

However, none of those films performed better than 1990’s Pretty Woman, which grossed $463 million. The film only cost $14 million to produce, which gave it the highest ROI of Roberts’ career. Other films to make the list include Ocean’s Twelve ($363 million), Wonder ($315 million), and Hook ($301 million).

Here’s a complete list of Julia Roberts’ ten highest-grossing movies:

Pretty Woman – $463 million (1990)
Ocean’s Eleven – $451 million (2001)
Notting Hill – $364 million (1999)
Ocean’s Twelve – $363 million (2004)
Wonder – $315 million (2017)
Runaway Bride – $309 million (1999)
Hook – $301 million (1991)
My Best Friend’s Wedding – $299 million (1997)
Erin Brockovich – $256 million (2000)
Valentine’s Day – $217 million (2010)

Real Estate

The actress likes to invest some of her fortune in real estate, and she owns some incredible properties in the US. She also likes to spend her money on other lavish things, such as clothes.

Introduction

Keanu Reeves is a Canadian professional actor with an estimated net worth of $380 Million.

Reeves became one of the world’s highest-paid actors through the roles of Neo in The Matrix and John Wick. Both franchises have released four movies to date, with The Matrix proving the bigger success at the box office.

Despite similarities between the two franchises, Keanu’s earnings from them couldn’t be more different. Thanks to negotiating backend points for his role as Neo, he earned almost $200 million from playing the character, compared to just $21 million for John Wick.

Early Life

Keanu Reeves was born in Beirut to Patricia and Samuel Reeves on September 2, 1964.

When Reeves was three years old, his father left, although they remained in touch until Reeves was 6. His mother married four other times, meaning Reeves moved around internationally until the family settled in Toronto, Ontario.

Reeves struggled academically due to a combination of dyslexia and anger problems. However, he excelled at sports, particularly hockey, and attended four schools in five years, mainly because he had been expelled. He dreamed of playing hockey professionally, but a sports injury forced him to stop playing in high school. Eventually, he dropped out of school altogether.

Career

Keanu Reeves began his career as a correspondent for the CBC youth program Going Great in 1984 and an episode of the series Hangin’ In.

In 1985, he played Mercutio in a production of Romeo and Juliet at the Leah Posluns Theatre in Ontario. During this time, his agents advised him to go by a different name because they felt Keanu was “too ethnic.” While he went by “K.C.” and “Casey” for a few auditions, he reverted to using his given name.

Towards the end of the 1980s, Reeves appeared in several teen dramas, including The Night Before and The Prince of Pennsylvania.

In 1989, he starred in Ron Howard’s comedy-drama Parenthood and Paula Abdul’s music video for “Rush Rush.”

Breakthrough Roles

In 1991, Keanu Reeves starred in Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey and My Own Private Idaho with Joaquin Phoenix’s brother, River.

After appearing in the action thriller Point Break in 1991, Reeves won Most Desirable Male at the MTV Movie Awards. Soon after, he became interested in music and formed the alt-rock bank Dogstar, active throughout the 90s.

Reeves then played Jonathan Harker in Dracula alongside Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder, earning critical praise for his role.

In 1995, he landed a leading role in the cyberpunk thriller Johnny Mnemonic and appeared in the romantic comedy A Walk in the Clouds. Following his role in Chain Reaction, Reeves went on tour with Dogstar after turning down a role in Speed 2: Cruise Control. He ended the 1990s by starring as Thomas Anderson in The Matrix, a role that would gain him international recognition.

International Stardom

Due to the success of The Matrix, Keanu Reeves became a household name, but he didn’t let it go to his head.

In 2000, he starred in The Replacements and took a pay cut so Gene Hackman could co-star. He then starred in The Gift (2000) and Sweet November (2001) before his band, Dogstar, disbanded after a decade together. Reeves starred in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions in 2003, released in May and November, respectively.

Two years later, he played the title role in Constantine and then A Scanner Darkly, which premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

In 2008, he appeared in the crime thriller Street Kings and The Day the Earth Stood Still, which garnered a Razzie nomination. He made his directorial debut in 2013 with the martial arts film Man of Tai Chi, and while critics praised it, commercially, it did poorly.

Nothing But Success

Reeves’ subsequent success came with the 2014 film John Wick, which grossed $86 million worldwide and rebounded his career. He reprised this role in 2017 in John Wick: Chapter 2, which was a commercial and critical success, grossing $171 million. In 2018, he reunited with Winona Ryder in Destination Wedding and the following year returned in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

At the same time, he voiced Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4 and then played himself in Always Be My Maybe.

A year later, Reeves appeared with Danny Trejo in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, where he played a tumbleweed. Reeves played a significant role in the video game Cyberpunk 2077 and its DLC Phantom Liberty as the character Johnny Silverhand.

In March 2023, he reprised his role as John Wick in John Wick: Chapter 4, and in January 2024 started filming Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune.

Early Career Salaries

Before mainstream fame through The Matrix and John Wick franchises, Reeves was already earning impressive paydays. However, his earliest recorded salary was just $3,000 for Youngblood in 1986. At the end of the 80s, Reeves received $95,000 for Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Although we don’t know how much he earned for 1993’s Point Break, his first recorded seven-figure salary was $1.2 million for Speed (1994). The film was a huge success, grossing $350 million at the box office on just a $30 million budget. Reeves’ ability to generate such a high ROI instantly increased his salary. In 1995, he earned $2 million for Johnny Mnemonic; in 1997, he earned $8 million for The Devil’s Advocate.

The Matrix Earnings

Keanu’s first 8-figure payday was for his appearance as Neo in The Matrix (1999). He was paid $10 million upfront for the role but received a 10% backend percentage, resulting in roughly $35 million in compensation. The sequels scored Reeves upfront salaries of $15 million apiece for The Matrix Revolutions and The Matrix Reloaded, plus a $14 million salary for The Matrix Resurrections.

His reported backend percentage of the profits for Revolutions and Reloaded increased to 15%. When all is said and done, Keanu likely earned between $175 million and $200 million from the franchise, primarily due to backend points.

John Wick Salary

In contrast to The Matrix, Keanu’s earnings from the four John Wick films are a slightly different story. He reportedly earned $1.5 million for John Wick, $2 million for Chapter 2, and $2.5 million for Chapter 3. The franchise’s success made a pay rise inevitable, with Reeves earning $15 million for the fourth installment. Thus, he earned $21 million in total.

Estimated Net Worth

In 2024, Keanu Reeves’ net worth is $380 Million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

While most people know Reeves from The Matrix or John Wick franchises, neither accounts for the top-grossing movie of his career. It was, in fact, his role as Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4, which grossed $1.07 billion worldwide against a $200 million budget.

The original Matrix trilogy ranks second, third, and fifth on his list, accounting for $1.64 billion combined. The fourth film in the franchise, The Matrix Resurrections, missed the list, only grossing $157 million. Two of the four John Wick films made the list: John Wick: Chapter 4 appeared fourth ($440 million), and Chapter 3 at seventh ($328 million). The franchise accounts for $1.03 billion of Reeves’ gross box office value overall.

Here’s a complete list of Keanu Reeves’ ten highest-grossing movies:

Toy Story 4 – $1.07 Billion (2019)
The Matrix Reloaded – $742 Million (2003)
