Which Oscar Nominee Has the Highest Net Worth This Year?
The Academy Awards has considered a variety of actors for its highly coveted Oscar trophies. But out of all this year’s Oscar winners, which one of them can boast the highest net worth?
The 2024 Oscar nominees with the highest net worth
According to Gambling Factory, Robert De Niro has the highest net worth out of this year’s Oscar nominees. He’s been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor award for his work in Killers of the Flower Moon. His reported $500 million net worth makes him the wealthiest of all the other Oscar nominees attending this year.
Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. isn’t too far behind De Niro, however. Downey’s competing with the veteran this year for a Best Supporting Actor trophy as well, thanks to his role in Oppenheimer. The actor’s career has given him a net worth of $300 million, which is largely thanks to his salary from the Marvel films.
Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper would be third on the list with a net worth of $120 million. Unlike Downey and De Niro, Cooper’s been nominated for a Best Lead Actor trophy thanks to Maestro. This isn’t his first time being nominated, however. Cooper’s been considered for an Oscar 12 times throughout his career. But Maestro will be his fourth Best Actor nomination.

Emily Blunt
Emily Blunt is another actor who’s benefited from Oppenheimer’s success. She’s nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in the Christopher Nolan feature. This year will be her first Oscar nomination. Her net worth is second only to Downey as far as the Oppenheimer cast goes, as she reportedly accumulated $80 million.

She was first nominated for the Best Actress award thanks to her work in 1999’s American Beauty. Her two other Best Actress nominations were for 2014’s Being Julia and The Kids Are All Right. Her net worth is $75 million.

Emma Stone
Gosling’s La La Land co-star Stone also accompanies him on this list. She already has a Best Actress Oscar for her and Gosling’s musical feature. Poor Things is Stone’s second Best Actress nomination. She has two other Best Supporting Actress nominations for Birdman and The Favourite. Her net worth is $60 million.
Mark Ruffalo
Stone’s Poor Things co-star Ruffalo has the ninth-highest net worth of all the Oscar nominees with $35 million. This will be his fourth Best Supporting Actor nomination. He’s previously been considered for The Kids Are All Right, Foxcatcher, and Spotlight.
Paul Giamatti
Paul Giamatti rounds out the list with a net worth of $25 million. He’s being nominated for a Best Actor award for The Holdovers.
