Though you wouldn't know it from his lifestyle and easygoing demeanor, Tom Hanks' net worth actually puts him well above the average Hollywood actor, with a fortune that goes well over the hundreds of millions of dollars - following a long and successful career in movies.
Lately, the "Da Vinci Code" actor has been making news as he was searching distributors for his latest project, "A Hologram for the King," a film he not only acts in but also produces - in that way boosting Tom Hanks' net worth even further.
While he's mostly known for his acting (after having earned two Oscars in the 90s as Best Leading Actor, for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump"), the fact is that these days Tom Hanks' net worth comes primarily form his work as a producer, and he currently has no less than seven projects in the works holding this job.
Tom Hanks' net worth is set for a big increase soon, as he will be releasing three different projects in 2015 and two more on 2016 as a producer, besides 6 projects in the works as an actor, including two more adaptations of Dan Brown's books playing the iconic character Robert Langdon.
Much like Mel Gibson with the "Lethal Weapon" films, it would seem as if Hanks' continuous work in Dan Brown adaptations has another hidden purpose: while these movies boost Tom Hanks' net worth, he can work on other projects he feels more closely attached to.
AV Club reports that "A Hologram for the King," an adaptation to Dave Eggers' original material, was recently picked up for joint distribution in the US by three different companies: Lionsgate, Roadside Pictures and Saban Films, in a film that sees him joining forces with his "Cloud Atlas" director Tom Tykwer in a new project.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Tom Hanks' net worth currently stands at $350 million - he can certainly work in as many passion projects as he chooses!
