Introduction

Samuel L. Jackson is an American professional film producer and actor with an estimated net worth of $250 Million.

In a career spanning five decades, Samuel L. Jackson has starred in almost 200 films and has long been regarded as the highest-grossing actor of all time. To date, he is the only actor to star in ten movies that have grossed over $1 billion at the global box office. This is primarily due to his recurring role as Nick Fury in the Marvel franchise, which also earned him at least $70 million over roughly a dozen films.

This profile examines Jackson’s most notable earnings and income sources throughout his career, as well as some of the ways he has invested his millions.

Film Earnings

Year	Project	Salary
1992	White Sands	$75,000
1996	The Long Kiss Goodnight	$4,500,000
2000	Unbreakable	$7,000,000
2000	Shaft	$10,000,000
2002	No Good Deed	$6,000,000
2017	Kong: Skull Island	$5,000,000
Total Calculated Earnings:		$32,575,000

Given his status as an A-list actor and one of the highest-grossing actors at the box office, we were honestly expecting to find more information in relation to Samuel L. Jackson’s film salaries. Unfortunately, we could only find six publicly disclosed film salaries, the earliest of which was a $75,000 paycheck for starring in White Sands (1992). By 1996, Jackson was already earning several million dollars per film, including his $4.5 million payday from The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Jackson continued commanding higher salaries in the 2000s, including $7 million for starring in Unbreakable alongside Bruce Willis, $10 million for his work in the iconic Shaft film, and $6 million for No Good Deed. That was all we could find for his earlier years; however, more recently, he reportedly earned $5 million from Kong: Skull Island.

Marvel Salaries

While the films and the corresponding paychecks mentioned above are the only ones we have exact figures for, reports suggest that Samuel L Jackson is paid between $4 million and $6 million for every time he reprises his role as Nick Fury in the Marvel franchise. However, we don’t know when the agreement initially commenced. Based on our research, Jackson has appeared in twelve Marvel films, although three of them were considered split-second cameo roles, for which he was uncredited.

To do some rough calculations, a salary of $6 million for all twelve films would equate to $72 million. On the other hand, a $4 million salary for the nine films he received credit would total roughly $36 million. Of course, that’s just an estimated range based on the information at hand.

Real Estate

Encino Home

According to reports, in 1993, Samuel L. Jackson paid $1.085 million for a 5,921-square-foot, four-bedroom home in Encino, California. He owned the property for almost ten years, eventually selling it for $1.95 million in April 2002.

Beverly Hills Home

In June 2000, Jackson reportedly purchased an 11,968-square-foot, six-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills, California, for $8.35 million from Roseanne Barr, who had paid $7.5 million for the home in 1998. He still owns the property, which is now estimated to be worth between $12.5 million and $13 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

In one of the most impressive box office resumes we’ve seen, Jackson is the only actor to have starred in ten movies, all grossing over $1 billion. Appearing in all four Avengers movies as Nick Fury, which grossed a combined $7.8 billion. Spider-Man: Far from Home ($1.13 billion) and Captain Marvel ($1.1 billion).

The only animated film on the list was Incredibles 2, which took in $1.24 billion. The oldest film to appear was 1993’s Jurassic Park, which added another $1.1 billion. Jackson’s top ten-grossing movies equate to $14.5 billion worldwide box office revenue.
