Josh Hartnett Net Worth

Josh Hartnett has an estimated net worth of $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Josh Hartnett net worth page (figures as of October 2, 2026).

Josh Hartnett is an American actor who was born on July 21, 1978, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He found acting through youth theater after a knee injury ended his high school football career. After graduating in 1996 he studied briefly at the Conservatory of Theatre Arts and Film at SUNY Purchase, then moved to Los Angeles at 19. He got his start on the ABC drama Cracker, and his first feature, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, came out in 1998.

He quickly became a teen idol and young leading man in The Faculty, The Virgin Suicides, Pearl Harbor, O, Black Hawk Down and 40 Days and 40 Nights. Through the 2000s he kept working in Hollywood Homicide, Wicker Park, Sin City, Lucky Number Slevin, The Black Dahlia and 30 Days of Night, and he played Ethan Chandler on Showtime's Penny Dreadful from 2014 to 2016. A career resurgence followed with Oppenheimer in 2023, Trap in 2024, Fight or Flight in 2025 and Verity in 2026.

How Josh Hartnett makes his money

Studio film salaries from his early stardom built his fortune. Starring in Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down in a single year made him one of the most prominent young leading men in Hollywood.

Steady film work through the 2000s kept the money coming, with leading and supporting parts in thrillers, comedies and graphic novel adaptations. He also chose to turn down superhero franchise offers, preferring not to commit to a single role for years.

Television brought a second wave of income. His three seasons on Penny Dreadful, an episode of Black Mirror and his guest arc as Frank on The Bear kept him in prestige series.

His recent comeback has raised his value again. Roles as Ernest Lawrence in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, the lead in M. Night Shyamalan's Trap and parts in Fight or Flight and Verity put him back in widely released films. Celebrity Net Worth also lists him as a producer, and he has worked on stage, including Rain Man in 2008.
