Actor-director James Caan net worth is estimated at $40 million. He accumulated his wealth from various award-winning movies and television series as well as endorsement deals. In 2013, he appeared in the movie Blood Ties, The Outsider, and Anyone's Son. He also lent his voice to Tim Lockwood in the sequel of Cloudy WithA Chance of Meatballs.
Born James Edmund Caan, he hails from the Bronx and spent his acting education through the tutelage of Sanford Meisner. Though considered a big theater and television star in the 60s, James Caan popularity heightens to epic level due to his role in Godfather as the impulsive, highly volatile, and violent "wise guy" Sonny Corleone in 1971. Since then, he became a mainstay on the big-screen appearing in various popular movies like RollerBall, Harry and Walter Goto New York, Comes a Horseman, and more. He also tried his hands on directing on Hide in Plain Sight.
Aside from acting gigs on both television and film, endorsement deals, an internet company designed for upcoming filmmakers keep James on his toes. He turned down starring roles in various high-grossing films like Blade Runner, Kramer vs Kramer, One Flew OverThe Cuckoo’s Nest, Superman, Star Wars, and Apocalypse Now, which could have added to his financial coffers. James Caan is also a gifted martial artist. Today, he is still an active force in both television and movies. His stint in Hawaiian Five-O is quite memorable as he starred opposite his son, Scott, in its Lekio episode.
