James Woods Net Worth: Twitter $10 Million Lawsuit Mean ‘Hercules’ Hades Is Broke?

Having worked in the film industry for more than forty yeas, James Woods' net worth stems from brilliant work in a career that has included two Academy Award nominations and wide critical acclaim, but these days he's making headlines due to a completely ludicrous lawsuit over a Twitter comment, prompting many to wonder whether he has lost his fortune.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, right now James Woods' net worth is all over the web after the actor famously sued a random Twitter user going by the name of "Abe List," who called him a "cocaine addict," something that Woods has deemed defamatory.

Of course, Twitter is filled with these kinds of comments from trolls and stars usually just shrug them off, but the fact that the "Once Upon a Time in America" actor is paying tweets so much attention has made many wonder whether James Woods' net worth has died down over the years.

In fact, it's not only that the "Salvador" actor is suing, he's actually demanding the Twitter user for $10 million in compensation over defaming his character, so is James Woods' net worth in such poor state that he'd need to go through this?

It would appear it's not the case, as there have been no reports of James Woods' net worth diminishing dramatically in the past few years, although the actor who voiced Hades in "Hercules" has been working less with the passing years, which makes sense considering he's been on the spotlight since the 70s.

These days, Woods has been working mostly in Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy," a show he's visited over the years to play himself - in fact, he was even in its crossover "Simpsons" episode, playing himself in the versions created for both shows.

In the past he's won a Golden Globe and two Emmy Awards during a career that has included working with the likes of Martin Scorsese, Sergio Leone and Sofia Coppola.

Currently, James Woods' net worth stands at $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - definitely no money problems there!
