With two best acting Oscars to his name —plus dozens of other awards and nominations— Tom Hanks is one of the most decorated motion picture actors of our time. When he's not gracing our movie screens in all-time classics like Forrest Gump and Philadelphia, he's probably off being one of the nicest, and the richest, guys in Hollywood.
His world total box office gross is approximately $9 billion, and he's #3 on the list of Top 100 Stars in Leading Roles at the Domestic Box Office. And with the recent release of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Hanks' bank account is set to get even fuller. Here's what we know about Tom Hanks' net worth.
Tom Hanks' net worth is an estimated $400 million.
The actor has been a major money maker for a very long time, and in the '90s and early aughts, he was commanding some seriously huge paychecks. Hanks earned $40 million for Saving Private Ryan in 1998 and $70 million for Forrest Gump in 1994 — earnings movie stars rarely see nowadays, according to Variety.
In 2010, Hanks earned $45 million, and he placed third on Forbes' list of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. Movies like Angels & Demons and Larry Crowne contributed to his massive salary, as did HBO's The Pacific, which Hanks produced.
In 2017, Forbes ranked Hanks number 12 on its list of the world's highest-paid actors for his $31 million salary. Hanks could thank his starring roles in Sully, Inferno, and The Circle for his massive earnings that year.
Awards wise, Hanks earned the Oscar for Best Actor two years in row for 1994's Philadelphia and 1995's Forrest Gump. He also won back-to-back Golden Globes for his work in those movies as well, and he's also landed himself multiple Emmy and SAG awards too.
In 2019, Hanks reprised his role as Woody in Toy Story 4, and the movie pulled in $434 million domestically and $1.07 billion worldwide. And as Forbes reports, experts are predicting a $25 million opening weekend for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which is actually above his opening weekend average of $15.3 million.
