Tom Hanks is an American actor and filmmaker known for both comedies and dramas, and one of the most popular film stars in the world. In 2020 he was ranked as the fourth-highest-grossing American film actor of all time. He rose to fame with comedies such as Splash, The Money Pit, Big and A League of Their Own.
He then won two Academy Awards for Best Actor in a row, for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away followed, and he voiced Woody in the Toy Story films. His honors include seven Emmy Awards, the AFI Life Achievement Award, the Kennedy Center Honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Cecil B. DeMille Award.
How Tom Hanks makes his money
Hanks has been one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors for decades. Leading men with his record can earn large salaries and a share of a film's profits, and deals like that on blockbusters such as Forrest Gump paid him far more than a flat fee. His films' huge box office totals reflect how often audiences turned out to see him.
Voicing Woody in the Toy Story films brings income from one of the most successful animated series ever made, and those films keep earning from streaming and merchandise.
He also earns as a producer through Playtone, the company he co-founded. It has produced films and acclaimed television series, giving him income from projects well beyond his own roles.
His reputation as one of the most trusted actors in Hollywood also helps. Studios value stars who reliably draw audiences of all ages, and that reliability is a big reason his fees stayed high.
