After having a widely successful 2014 following the release of "Dallas Buyers Club," the film that gave the actor his first-ever Oscar, Jared Leto's net worth has been on the rise, as the actor and singer racks up the roles with his newfound critical acclaim.

Famous for his roles in films like Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream," for the last few years, Jared Leto's net worth comes mostly from his career in music, as he's the lead vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in the rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, which he created in 1998 alongside his brother, Shannon Leto.

Starting out at a young age - considering he's been getting big roles since the early 90s, when he co-starred with "Homeland" actress Claire Danes in "My So-Called Life" - Jared Leto's net worth isn't as high as people might think, though in retrospect it makes some sense, as his acting career has focused mostly on smaller, juicier roles from independent films.

As his IMDb page shows, Jared Leto's net worth has risen in the last few years by being in some of the most iconic films in the past 15 years or so, including a small role in the cult classic "Fight Club," co-starring in Terrence Malick's "A Thin Red Line" and "Girl, Interrupted" and even playing an important role in Oliver Stone's epic "Alexander."

Currently, a year after winning the Oscar, the actor is about to raise Jared Leto's net worth by working in a big budget project, his first in a long time: he was recently cast as The Joker in "Suicide Cast," a comic book adaptation starring some of DC Comics' most important villains, where they execute black ops missions in exchange for clemency.

He even made news lately because of his new hairstyle for the film, as he chopped off his ombré locks and shaved off his beard - and now, according to Hollywood Life, his 30 Seconds to Mars bandmates are calling him "pretty boy"!

Currently, Jared Leto's net worth stands at $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - way to go, Joker!
