Michael Fassbender's first screen credits go back to 2001, when he was on the television show "Hearts and Bones" and the critically acclaimed World War II-themed mini-series "Band of Brothers," but it wasn't until eight years later when Michael Fassbender's net worth really started to take off.

In the years between "Band of Brothers" and the film that would make him famous for portraying an English spy in the Nazi army, Michael Fassbender's net worth came from a wide variety of films and television shows, most notably co-starring in "300" and the mini-series "The Devil's Whore."

It wasn't until 2009 that Quentin Tarantino released one of his most critically acclaimed films, an action-packed review at World War II, "Inglourious Basters," with an all-star cast including Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger and Lea Seydoux as well as the German-Irish actor, and that's just when Michael Fassbender's net worth began to rise consistently.

After getting his big break in "Basterds," Michael Fassbender's net worth has come from his increasing demand as one of the biggest actors in Hollywood, starring in gritty dramas (such as the controversial "Shame") and even box office hits like "Prometheus," even getting an Oscar nomination along the way for his work in the Academy Award Best Picture winner "12 Years a Slave."

However, it's clear that most of Michael Fassbender's net worth stems from his most famous role, as he plays the younger version of mutant Magneto in the "X-Men" new series, co-starring Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence and Zoe Kravitz, whom he dated for a while.

Now, the actor's releasing a new biopic about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, where he co-stars with Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak and Oscar winner Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, in a role tipped to earn him at least an Academy Award nomination, as currently the film holds a steady 88 percent rating on critics' site Rotten Tomatoes.

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Michael Fassbender's net worth at $30 million.
