Ben Affleck, the Gone Girl star, former (and future) Batman and current boyfriend of J.Lo, makes a lot of money. Maybe not enough to have his own secret lair and crime-fighting arsenal of weapons and vehicles, but still pretty impressive.
For decades the actor, producer, writer, and director has helmed Oscar-winning films and made a name for himself in action, drama, comedy movies. The 48-year-old has no shortage of iconic roles, including his appearances in the Jay and Silent Bob franchise, the award-winning Argo, and Good Will Hunting alongside his old pal Matt Damon (the two also co-wrote the movie, and won an Oscar for doing so). Of course, one of his most recent and well-known roles is taking on the mantle of DC’s Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and both versions of Justice League (including Zack Snyder‘s four-hour-long director’s cut).
With two Oscars, three Golden Globes and other awards, with each film Affleck garners a bigger and bigger paycheck. According to Celebrity Net Worth, two of his major paydays came from the frequently-maligned films Daredevil and Gigli, which earned Affleck $11.5 and 12.5 million respectively.
And it doesn’t look like his paychecks are slowing down anytime soon. Affleck just starred alongside Matt Damon and Viola Davis in Air, the new film about Nike’s creation of the Air Jordans.
As for his Batman appearances, there isn’t readily available information online about his payout for the films, but according to Forbes he received a “huge paycheck” for Dawn of Justice. In 2014, the actor earned $35 million. No doubt that number increased with his subsequent films, including Batman V. Superman and the controversial Justice League.
Here’s everything we know about Ben Affleck’s earnings and net worth.
In 2020, Ben Affleck earned $55 Million.
According to Forbes, Affleck earned $55 million last year. The actor starred in two films in 2020, including the emotional drama The Way Back, about an alcoholic who returns to his alma mater to coach their basketball team. Deadline reported the film earned $13.6 million in theaters. It also earned Affleck a People’s Choice nomination.
Ben Affleck’s net worth is estimated at $150 million.
Celebrity Net Worth reports his most up-to-date net worth is $150 million. In 2023, Affleck made a major Super Bowl ad with Dunkin’ Donuts, which Entertainment Tonight says was a “multi-million dollar deal”. This year, Affleck stars alongside his longtime friend Matt Damon in Air, a reenactment of Nike’s creation of the Air Jordan shoe line. The film has a critical and audience acclaim on Rotten Tomatoes and outlets such as Variety are already discussing whether Air could be an Oscar contender. He’ll also reprise his role of Batman (likely for the final time) in an upcoming Flash movie and in Aquaman and the Last Kingdom. So that net worth? It’s about to get a lot bigger.
