Nicolas Cage has an estimated net worth of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Nicolas Cage net worth page (figures as of September 8, 2026).
Nicolas Cage is an American actor and film producer known for a wildly varied career and a devoted cult following. He was born Nicolas Kim Coppola into the famous filmmaking family, and he changed his name early on so that he would be judged on his own work. He began with films like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Valley Girl, and appeared in several films by his uncle, Francis Ford Coppola.
Cage won the Academy Award for Best Actor for Leaving Las Vegas and was nominated again for playing twins in Adaptation. In between, he became a major action star with The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off and Gone in 60 Seconds, then led the National Treasure and Ghost Rider films. He has also voiced characters in animated films such as The Croods and taken on dramas like Joe.
How Nicolas Cage makes his money
Acting is the source of nearly all of Cage's income. In the late 1990s and 2000s he was one of the top-paid stars in Hollywood, leading big studio action films that drew huge audiences around the world. Those roles came with large upfront salaries. He has also worked as a producer, and voice roles in animated films added steady income.
Cage is famous for working constantly. He has made a long list of smaller films alongside bigger ones, which keeps money coming in year after year. His career also shows that fame and earnings do not always line up with savings: he has been open about heavy spending on homes, art and collectibles, and money troubles during the late 2000s. That history helps explain why his estimate today is lower than a star of his fame might expect.
