The Top Gun star Tom Cruise is one of the most famous and well-paid actors working in Hollywood today – and boasts a jaw-dropping net worth.
Tom Cruise has a substantial pot of money to fall back on – largely thanks to the hugely successful Mission Impossible franchise.
The iconic action film series which saw its eighth installment, Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, released last week.
Celebrity Net Worth reports that the Jerry Maguire star has an estimated net worth of $600 million.
But, the box office legend has been able to bolster his income thanks to other revenue streams.
Acting career
In his four decades in the movie business, Tom Cruise has raked in billions of dollars at the box office.
His first big hit was Risky Business in 1983, which brought in $64 million and cemented him as a star in the public’s consciousness.
Following this, Mr Cruise starred in the original Top Gun three years later, which earned $357 million globally.
The first Mission Impossible movie was released in 1996 and kickstarted the much-beloved franchise that is still running today.
According to Forbes, Tom Cruise got an estimated $7 million from Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and Jack Reacher.
By 2018, the sixth instalment of the Mission: Impossible franchise earned $787million at the global box office which set a new record for the star.
Following Top Gun: Maverick bringing in over $1billion worldwide, Mr Cruise reportedly earned $100million despite his base salary being $12.5million.
This is because he signed a “first-dollar gross” deal which included ticket sales, his salary and streaming revenue.
Real estate
Outside of his Hollywood career, the Magnolia star also has a wide-ranging real estate portfolio which has contributed to his net worth.
Realtor reports that Mr Cruise sold his 320-acre ranch in Telluride, Colorado for nearly $40 million.
As well as this, he reportedly purchased a penthouse and several condos in 2017 for more than $10million in Tampa, Florida.
Back in 2016, Mr Cruise sold the Beverly Hills estate he shared with ex-wife Katie Holmes for around $38million.
