Justin Theroux has an estimated net worth of $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Justin Theroux net worth page (figures as of September 21, 2026).

Justin Theroux is an American actor, screenwriter and director who was born on August 10, 1971. He gained recognition for his partnership with David Lynch on the surrealist films Mulholland Drive in 2001 and Inland Empire in 2006. He also appeared in Romy and Michele's High School Reunion in 1997, American Psycho in 2000, Zoolander in 2001, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle in 2003 and Miami Vice in 2006.

He was a screenwriter for comedy films such as Tropic Thunder in 2008 and Rock of Ages in 2012, as well as the superhero film Iron Man 2 in 2010, and made his directorial debut with the romantic comedy Dedication in 2007. On television he starred as Kevin Garvey in the HBO mystery drama The Leftovers from 2014 to 2017, earning widespread praise and a Critics' Choice Television Award nomination for Best Actor in a Drama Series.

How Justin Theroux makes his money

Acting is his main income. He has worked steadily for decades in supporting roles in studio films and lead roles on television, including The Mosquito Coast on Apple TV+ and his role as Mr. House in the Amazon Prime Video adaptation of Fallout.

Writing is a second stream. Screenwriters on big comedies and superhero films are paid for scripts and rewrites, and his credits on Tropic Thunder, Iron Man 2 and Rock of Ages give him a track record that few actors have.

He also directs, starting with Dedication in 2007, which gives him another type of fee.

A long career across film, television and writing spreads his income out, so no one project defines his wealth.

Because his credits span acting, writing and directing, outside estimates are hard to make precisely, and the number shown here should be read as a rough guide rather than an exact total.

His estimate

Celebrity Net Worth estimates Justin Theroux's net worth at $40 million, on its page last updated September 21, 2026. That figure is an outside estimate of what the star has earned and kept after taxes, fees and spending. It is not an official number, and the star has not confirmed it or published personal finances.

His figure reflects a career split between acting, writing and directing rather than one blockbuster role. We will add any newer dated estimate from a named outlet to the chart above, and we never fill in the years between published figures.
