Michael Keaton’s Net Worth in 2022 (Estimate): $40 million
Michael Keaton’s net worth in 2022 is $40 million. This is according to reputable outlets such as Celebrity Net Worth.
Keaton was born in Kennedy Township, Pennsylvania. He studied in Montour High School. After graduating, Keaton attended Kent State University and took up Speech. After spending two years at Kent State University, he tried to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. However, Keaton wasn’t the best comedian. Because of this, he remained in the entertainment industry by serving as a cameraman for a cable station. While working as a cameraman, Keaton sparked his interest in acting.
By 1974, Keaton landed his first TV series appearance in the show, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. According to Keaton, he was paid $2 per hour and was eventually given a raise to $2.25 per hour. After his TV appearance there, Keaton went on to appear in more shows such as Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, All’s Fair, The Tony Randall Show, Mary, Family, and Maude.
After appearing on tv shows, it won’t be long before Keaton made his debut in the big screens. He appeared in a small role in the film, Rabbit Test in 1978. A year later, Keaton eventually got his big break portraying Mike O’Rourke in Working Stiffs, where he worked with Jim Belushi and Val Bisoglio.
After a breakout performance with Working Stiffs, Keaton followed that up with another iconic performance. This time, it was on the big screens where Keaton shined as Bill Blazejowski in the comedy movie, Night Shift. After a hit performance, Keaton went on to appear in other movies such as Mr. Mom (1983), Johnny Dangerously (1984), Gung Ho (1986), Touch and Go (1986), The Squeeze (1987), She’s Having a Baby (1988), Beetlejuice (1988), Clean and Sober (1988), and The Dream Team (1989).
Eventually, Keaton bagged his biggest movie deal after agreeing to play the iconic role of comic hero, Batman. Starring opposite Kim Basinger, Keaton was paid $5 million for the first film. In the sequel, the franchise elevated his paycheck to $11 million. Although the franchise planned for a third movie, Keaton decided not to return to the franchise, despite being offered a lucrative $15 million deal. According to him, it simply “sucked”. However decades later, Keaton decided to reprise his role as Batman in the upcoming DC films such as The Flash and Batgirl which are both set to be released later this year.
Obviously, all of this helped to add to Michael Keaton's net worth in 2022.
While Keaton rose to fame for making Batman come to life, he continued to star in movies such as Pacific Heights (1990), One Good Cop (1991), Much Ado About Nothing (1993), My Life (1993), The Paper (1994), Speechless (1994), Jack Frost (1998), A Shot At Glory (2000), Quick Sand (2003), First Daughter (2004), Game 6 (2005), Herbie Fully Loaded (2006) and many more. He also lent his voice to popular animated films such as Porco Rosso (2003), Cars (2006), Toy Story 3 (2010), and Minions (2015).
In the 2010s, Keaton continued his rise as an actor. He was part of hit action films such as The Other Guys (2010), Blindsided (2013), RoboCop (2014), Need for Speed (2014), and Birdman (2014). For Keaton’s portrayal of Riggan in Birdman, he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and won Best Actor in the Golden Globe Awards. He received another Golden Globe Award for his role as Dr. Samuel Finnix in miniseries, Dopesick in 2021.
Keaton’s other notable films also include The Founder (2016), Spiderman: Homecoming (2017), American Assassin (2017), Dumbo (2019), Worth (2020), and The Protege (2021). Keaton’s role as the Vulture, who was the main antagonist in the Spiderman film, was his first deal with the billion dollar movie franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it was only a short one picture deal, reports say another appearance as Vulture could rake in a more lucrative deal for Keaton which is very realistic at this point.
Keaton has earned most of his net worth as an actor. In the near future, he’s set to earn more, as he’s also set to appear in the film, Morbius. Aside from a decorated acting career, Keaton also has a respectable real-estate portfolio. Keaton reportedly purchased a property worth $1.5 million in 1989. 21 years later, he sold this for more than double the cost at $3.1million. Furthermore, Keaton also put his California ranch on the market for $8.72 million. He initially purchased it for $5 million. Currently, Keaton lives in a $1.3 million home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood and also has a 565-acre ranch in Montana.
