Ethan Hawke Net Worth

Ethan Hawke has a net worth of $60 million dollars.

Along with Training Day, the site notes Hawke’s paydays for Daybreakers ($4 million) and Assault on Precinct 13 ($3 million). Those three films added up to $19 million before taxes and other expenses. Considering Hawke’s successes since that figure has likely climbed closer to $60 million.

When making The Purge, Hawke reportedly settled for a low salary in exchange for a piece of the profits. (He also worked without a trailer or driver to keep costs low.) It was a good gamble, with Hawke reportedly pocketing $5-6 million after the box office returns come back.
