After having been in the film industry since his teens, which is to say for more than 25 years, Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth is the fruit of years of hard work in the media, as he's evolved to become one of the most respected actors currently working in movies.
It's been a long and tough ride to get Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth to where it is right now, and nobody can say the actor of major films like James Cameron's "Titanic" or Christopher Nolan's "Inception" hasn't worked hard to earn his salary, from becoming the go-to pretty boy to one of the most prestigious film actors in the world.
It was in 1991 when Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth began ascending importantly, when then teenager DiCaprio was cast in the hit show "Growing Pains" in the role of Luke Bower, which he would continue playing until 1992, as he went on to bigger things.
In 1993, the actor was in his first major film, "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," his breakthrough role co-starring Johnny Depp and Juliette Lewis that would not only give Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth the chance to grow, but also featured another landmark for the actor: his very first Oscar nomination, at 19.
He didn't receive another Academy Award nomination until over a decade later, when he was nominated for his role as Howard Hughes in the 2004 Martin Scorsese biopic "The Aviator," his second film with the legendary director, with whom he's worked four times now, most recently in "The Wolf of Wall Street."
He's also worked with huge directors like Clint Eastwood, Baz Luhrmann and Quentin Tarantino, besides major actors like "Mad Max: Fury Road" star Tom Hardy and "Scandal" actress Kerry Washington.
However, these days Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth doesn't just come from his impressive acting skills (nor the fact that his lack of Oscars has turned him into an Internet meme), but also from his producing, having founded Appian Way Productions, responsible for the Oscar-nominated documentary "Virunga," plus a recent alliance with Netflix for more environment-related docs.
He's also one of the biggest art collectors in the world!
Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth at an astounding $235 million.
