George Clooney, an American actor, writer, and director, is one of Hollywood’s most prolific celebrities with a net worth of $500 million as of 2023.

Clooney’s role that propelled him into the limelight was his time as Dr. Ross on the 1994 NBC drama, ER. Starting out with a small net worth of $500,000 in 1993, Clooney would swiftly become a multimillionaire thanks to the $100,000 he was paid per episode, raking in a total of $11 million throughout 109 episodes.

His acting career picked up following his time on the series, as he would star in several blockbusters, including one of his most iconic movies, Ocean’s Eleven.

George Clooney Net Worth

Only a few of Clooney’s peers could demand the $20 million paycheck he earns per movie, such as his salary for the 2013 hit film, Gravity. Thanks to his stellar performance alongside Sandra Bullock in Gravity and other movies like the 2000 drama and thriller, The Perfect Storm, which grossed $328.7 million at the box office, Clooney stands as one of the wealthiest actors in the industry.

In addition to the financial success he’s enjoyed over the years, Clooney has also achieved numerous achievements throughout his career.

Out of the eight Academy Awards nominations he’s received, Clooney has won two of them. One for Best Supporting Actor in 2005 for his role in Syriana, and the other for Best Picture in 2012 for Argo which he helped produce alongside Grant Heslov and Ben Affleck,

He is also one of only two people to have been nominated for Academy Awards in six different categories, with the second being Walt Disney.

With a total of 121 award nominations and 67 wins, it’s no surprise Clooney was the highest-earning actor between 2017 and 2018. During that year alone, he earned a colossal $239 million, almost double what Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson earned, which was $124 million.

This was largely thanks to the sale of the Tequila Company he founded in 2013 alongside partners Rande Gerber and Michael Meldman. Four years later, the trio would sell the company to the alcohol industry titan, Diageo for $1 billion.

With this in mind, it’s no surprise the 62-year-old actor has earned more than $200 million from his shows and movies.
