He made a name for himself by starring in action films and comedies in the past decade and that's where the majority of Bradley Cooper's net worth comes from, though in the past couple of years he's also received top reviews for his performances in more serious work.

Over the past years, he's broken records after being nominated for an Academy Award three times in a row, for his roles in the films "Silver Linings Playbook," "American Hustle" and the Chris Kyle biopic "American Sniper" respectively, all of which have made Bradley Cooper's net worth rise.

Other projects that have helped Bradley Cooper's net worth reach the high amounts it has today have been the 2014 box office smash "Guardians of the Galaxy" (where he voiced Rocket Raccoon), "The A-Team" and the Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn beloved romantic comedy "The Wedding Crashers."

Though he had been typecast as the sort of actor who'd only make box office smashes and would steer away from more serious roles, after Bradley Cooper's net worth kept the actor in a position he was comfortable with, he managed to slip out of his comfort zone when he started working with David O. Russell, the director who led him to his first two Oscar nods.

Other projects currently under works for the actor include the summer release of the Netflix miniseries "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp" and the recent release of "Serena," where he co-stars with Jennifer Lawrence for the third time.

Now, Deadline reports exclusively that a new project could give Bradley Cooper's net worth a boost from a whole other area, as he might be about to make his directorial debut in a remake of "A Star Is Born" starring Beyoncé Knowles in the lead role, which has been played in the past by divas Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand.

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Bradley Cooper's net worth as $60 million.
