Quentin Tarantino Net Worth $90 Million
Quentin Tarantino dropped out of school at 15 to enrol in an acting class full-time at the James Best Theater Company, but grew bored with that and went to work in a video rental store, paying close attention to the types of films which were popular. He co-wrote his first screenplay in 1987, a movie entitled “My Best Friend’s Birthday” in which he also portrayed one of the main characters, but part of which was destroyed prior to release; however, it subsequently formed the basis for “True Romance”.
In 1992, Tarantino’s directing career took-off with “Reservoir Dogs”, which was shown at the Sundance Film Festival, and became an instant hit with many positive reviews. The film grossed over $2.8 million at the box office, comfortably covering its $1.2 million budget. Tarantino continued to write screenplays and sold his script for “True Romance”, as well as “Natural Born Killers” for which he was credited in the movies, and with the success of “Reservoir Dogs”, Tarantino received offers to work on “Speed” and “Men in Black” with Will Smith, but chose to focus on his film “Pulp Fiction” instead.
“Pulp Fiction” was released in 1994, causing a sensation during its opening night. Considered to be a prime example of a post-modern film, “Pulp Fiction” became a worldwide commercial success with over $107 million at the United States box office. The movie, starring John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and Tim Roth, was nominated for seven Oscars, and at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival was given the Palm d’Or (Golden Palm) award.These nominations and awards did no harm to Taratino’s reputation, as well as to his net worth.
Quentin Tarantino followed his success with a thriller film titled “Kill Bill” that was released as two films “Kill Bill: Vol 1” and “Kill Bill: Vol 2”. The movies, whose main roles were played by Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu and Michael Madsen, grossed over $333 million at the box office worldwide. The revenue collected from these movies immensely increased Quentin Tarantino’s net worth.
Tarantino’s fthurer success came with the release of “Inglourious Basterds” in 2009, a war film with the main characters portrayed by Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, and Diane Kruger. The movie grossed over $321 million worldwide and became the highest-grossing film that Tarantino had written and directed at the time. Tarantino’s most recent production is a movie with Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L Jackson starring called “Django Unchained”. An Academy Award and Golden Globe Awards winner, “Django Unchained” has grossed over $425 million worldwide to date, and so has become Tarantino’s most successful movie in pure financial terms.His net worth continued to rise.
Currently, Quentin Tarantino is working on another movie tentatively called “The Hateful Eight” and will feature Samuel L Jackson, Tim Roth, and Michael Madsen in the main roles, and due for release in 2015.
BAFTA Awards, Golden Globe Awards, as well as Academy Awards winner, Quentin Tarantino is undoubtedly one of the most successful film directors and producers. Quentin Tarantino’s status and importance in the entertainment industry is not only proven by his $90 million worth of net worth but the number of remarkable movies he has written and produced.
In his personal life, Quentin Tarantino has been romantically linked with several actresses and directors, particularly with Uma Thurman but has remained single from, as he puts it, personal choice, possibly until he is 60, when he indicates that he will retire.
Actors
Tony Dow Net Worth
Tony Lee Dow was born on 13 April 1945 in Hollywood, California USA. He is a well-known person in the Hollywood movie industry because of his long-lasting involvement as a film producer, director and an actor.
So how rich is Tony Dow? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $4 million. Most of it he has accumulated by working as a professional Hollywood actor for more than 50 years.
Tony Dow Net Worth $4 Million
Tony Dow’s interest in the film industry might have been related to the fact that his mother, Muriel Virginia Dow, was a stunt woman and a film double at the time Tony was a child and teenager. However, Tony undoubtedly had some acting talent which was proven when he managed to win the audition for a role in the sitcom “Leave It to Beaver” in 1957, despite having no experience in acting at that time. This was the role that had perhaps the most influence in building a solid foundation to Tony Dow’s acting career, even though he received only one award – Young Artist Award in nomination of “Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award” in 1988, after working in the show for six years. It was also a solid start to his net worth.
In the next few years after “Leave It to Beaver”, Tony appeared in several episodes of other TV shows, such as the sitcom “My Three Sons” (in 1964), drama series “Mr. Novak” (between 1963 and 1965) and teen soap opera “Never Too Young” (in 1965). Tony continued working in television up until the late 90s and his net worth continued to grow, for example in 1975 he starred in the popular medical TV drama “General Hospital”.
While Tony Dow is mostly known as a television actor, he has appeared in a few films during his career, including the television horror film “Death Scream” in 1975, comedy film “The Kentucky Fried Movie” in 1977, television comedy film “High School USA” in 1983, comedy “Back to the Beach” and comedy film “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star” in 2003.
Acting aside, Tony Dow is also known as a producer, director and visual effects specialist, especially in the science fiction genre, and these involvements have undoubtedly contributed to building up his net worth. Tony contributed to the visual effects of the 1996 season of the phenomenal British science fiction TV series “Doctor Who”, and a few episodes of the space opera TV series “Babylon 5”. He also directed an episode of the American science fiction TV series “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” in 1998.
Interestingly though, some people might also recognize Tony Dow as a sculptor who is well known for his brilliant abstract pieces depicting surreal figures.
In his personal life, Tony Dow has never been married and has no children. He is known to have suffered from depression during some periods of his life, which on a positive note has encouraged him to participate in self-help videos, including the production “Beating the Blues” (1998). However, the negative effect is that Tony hasn’t participated as an actor in any film since 2003.

American actor Burt Reynolds was born on 11 February 1936, in Lansing, Michigan, and was known for his appearances in films such as “Deliverance”, “The Longest Yard” and “Smokey and the Bandit”, but his best performance was in “Boogie Nights”, which brought him an Oscar nomination. He passed away in 2018.
So just how rich was Burt Reynolds, at the time of his passing? Authoritative sources have estimated that Burt’s net worth was over $20 million, earned consistently from his acting career which began in the late 1950s, despite intermittent financial problems.
Burt Reynolds Net Worth $20 Million
Young Burton Leon Reynolds lived with his mother and sister, while his father was drafted into the US Army after which he became a police chief in Florida, so Burt studied at Palm Beach High School, and after matriculation attended Florida State University. In school years the future actor was dreaming of becoming a famous football player, but his wish was destroyed after a serious injury in his first game. Later this wound only worsened because of a serious car accident, and Burt Reynolds had to start thinking about other career options.
His first steps towards acting were in 1956, when he took part in a play called “Outward Bound” and won the Florida State Drama award. However, Burt’s first serious success only came in the ‘70’s and later, when he featured in movies which became famous. He played Paul Crewe in “The Longest Yard”, and also had notable roles in “Deliverance” and “Smokey and the Bandit”. Today people remember Burt Reynolds as a very popular actor, director and even voice artist, but actually Reynolds showed himself successful as a good screenwriter and television producer too. He was involved with over 100 titles on the big screen, and 60 TV productions, proof of his enduring popularity with directors and audiences alike, during a career spanning almost 60 years..
Burt Reynolds received plenty of nominations and awards during his career. In 1980 he was chosen the favorite Motion Picture Actor in People’s Choice Awards, USA. Later he received Emmy, Golden Globe, American Movie and Crystal Reel Awards, and became one of the more popular actors. He even had an opportunity to play the role of himself in a comedic action-adventure video game called “Saints Row: The Third”.
In his personal life, Burt Reynolds was married twice, but both marriages were unsuccessful and ended really quickly. He married his first wife Judy Carne in 1963, but the couple lived together for only 2 years before divorcing; she died in 2015. He didn’t marry his second wife Loni Anderson until 23 years later, in 1988., which lasted a bit longer – they had a son together but in 1993 the actor divorced for the second time. In between his marriages he dated actress Sally Field, but there are no confirmed romantic associations after his second divorce.
It is known that Burt owned a property in Hobe Sound Florida, including a special pop-corn machine and a piano for silent film soundtracks, which usually attracts other people, however, financial problems suggest that it was resumed by the bank..
Despite huge success after receiving an Emmy award, Reynold’s finances weren’t as good as they could have been. There were a few reasons for that – failed investments in some Florida restaurant chains that later went bankrupt; messy divorce from his second wife Loni Anderson; and also an actor’s love for an extravagant lifestyle without counting his money. He became solvent again, and was relatively comfortable in his later years.
He passed away from a heart attack on 6 September 2018, in Jupiter, Florida, having suffered from related heart problems for a number of years, ameliorated by quintuple coronary artery bypass surgery in February 2010. He is survived by Loni Anderson and their son Quinton.
