Tom Cruise Net Worth: $500 million
Source of Wealth: Hollywood Acting Career
Forbes estimates that Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise’s net worth is a whopping $500 million. His name spells gold at the box office as he owns the record of acting in six successive movies that made greater than $100 million in collections.
Fifteen of Cruise’s films have garnered more than $100 million domestically in the U.S., while 21 of his movies have grossed more than $200 million worldwide. In total, Cruise’s films have grossed more than $7.9 billion worldwide.
Tom Cruise is also a proficient producer and the Mission Impossible series of movies produced his own company have been highly successful at the box office. He earned $100 million each from the movies Mission: Impossible II (2000) and War of the Worlds (2005). Cruise pocketed a cool $70 million from the movie Mission: Impossible (1996). He is reported to have made a total of $290 million from the four Mission: Impossible franchise movies.
The huge amounts earned were made possible because of the actor signing “profit participation” deals for the movies. In fact, Cruise insists on getting a good percentage of a movie’s gross profits before agreeing to act in it. It is estimated that Cruise earns an average of $60 million per film.

That $200k child support caught my attention. I suppose that's only what's written in legal terms, but he's probably supporting his kid with much much more. You know, you have all these most expensive stuff except that you can't give enough to your kid? That breaks my heart if it's true.
