An Academy Award winner and part of a couple of very successful film franchises, Matt Damon's net worth is among the highest in Hollywood - but just how much is it affected by his recent sell of Miami beach house for over 15 million dollars?

Damon became a household name after co-writing and starring in the 1997 film "Good Will Hunting" with Ben Affleck, both of them then jumping into superstardom; now, Matt Damon's net worth as well as Ben's are among the highest in the world!

Recently, several news outlets such as The Daily Mail reported that Matt Damon's net worth was vast enough to be able to own a home worth $15.4million - and even sell it later on.

According to reports, this is the house where he first started his family; he purchased the seven-bedroom home in 2005, the very same year he married wife Luciana Bozan Barroso.

Of course, it's no surprise that Matt Damon's net worth is as high as it is, considering the actor is part of at least two very successful film franchises - the Steven Soderbergh heist films "Ocean's Eleven," "Ocean's Twelve" and the third part, "Ocean's Thirteen" plus the "Jason Bourne" movies, starring as CIA assassin Bourne as he slowly recovers his memory and goes on a quest to find the rest of his lost identity.

While he definitely gets time for the kind of big box office projects, Damon's ventures in movies have also included a wide variety of more low-key projects that have gotten him a lot of critical acclaim, like his very first film, "Good Will Hunting," which also got him a nod for Best Leading Actor; his other acting nomination was for the 2009 film "Invictus," as Best Supporting Actor in the film that saw Morgan Freeman play iconic South African leader Nelson Mandela.

Currently, Matt Damon's net worth stands at $75 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - the same net worth of pal Ben Affleck!
