Famous for his tough guy roles in movies like Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," as well as a string of pop culture icons like the second "Star Wars" trilogy, Samuel L. Jackson's net worth might be higher than you'd think - and it's no surprise, given the fact that he's starred in some of the most iconic projects of our times!

Among his most famous roles, he's played Jules Winnfield in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," then playing Stephen in another Tarantino project nearly twenty years later, "Django Unchained" - and those are only two of the major films that have made Samuel L. Jackson's net worth one of the highest of any Hollywood actor.

According to Deadline, Samuel L. Jackson's net worth is about to take a hike upwards, as he's rumored to be about to co-star in the upcoming Tim Burton film project, an adaptation for the big screen of Ransom Riggs' "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," a book about an orphaned boy in a Welsh island.

Dean of Geek reports that Jackson's character, Barron, isn't on the original novel, though that'd hardly be a first for Burton's style of film adaptations to previous works.

In any case, it won't only be Samuel L. Jackson's net worth growing, as Cinema Blend already lists "Penny Dreadful" star Eva Green as part of the cast, as well as Asa Butterfield, the young star of films like Martin Scorsese's "Hugo," the 2013 science fiction movie "Ender's Game" and even the 2008 World War II drama "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas."

This would be, of course, only the latest in a very successful career for Jackson, which has included some amazing films like voicing a superhero in the beloved Pixar film "The Incredibles" and then playing Nick Fury, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in films like "The Avengers," the "Captain America" movies and even the ABC show "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Samuel L. Jackson's net worth at a staggering $170 million - and he's earned every penny!
