Will Smith net worth: American actor, film producer
and rapper, Willard Christopher "Will" Smith, Jr., has
an estimated net worth of $215 million. Given his
formidable success in numerous arenas of the
entertainment industry, the multi-talented Will
Smith qualifies as an original "Renaissance man."
Smith was a millionaire before the age of 20.
Although Smith initially gained fame as the rap star
Fresh Prince prior to the age of 20, (with constant
MTV airplay and blockbuster record sales), he cut
his chops as an A-list Hollywood actor on the small
and big screens in successive years, unequivocally
demonstrating his own commercial viability and
sturdy appeal to a broad cross section of viewers. In
2004, Forbes estimated his net worth at $188
million. As of Hancock (2008), he holds the record
for the actor to star in the most consecutive $100
million-grossing movies.
Smith returns to the Forbes list in 2011 thanks to
the Men in Black III where he reprised his role as
Agent J. Smith had fallen off of the list in 2010
because he took time off to nurture the budding
careers of his children Jaden Smith and Willow
Smith. Jaden starred in a remake of The Karate Kid
which Smith produced (the film earned $360
million). Smith helped Willow with her hit song
"Whip My Hair." The video for the song has been
viewed 11 million times. A Philadelphia native,
Smith was born on September 25, 1968. In 2005,
Smith was entered into the Guinness Book of World
Records for attending a record breaking three
premieres in a 24-hour time span. Smith married
actress Jada Pinkett-Smith in 1997, together they
have had two children: Jaden Christopher Syre (born
1998), his co-star in The Pursuit of Happyness, and
Willow Camille Reign (born 2000).
