Who is the richest Avenger?
1. Robert Downey Jr.: $300 million
Robert Downey Jr. earned $500,000 for Iron Man (2008). By Infinity War and Endgame, backend deals reportedly lifted his pay to about $75 million per film, and Celebrity Net Worth estimates he made roughly $380 million from nine Marvel films.
He won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Oppenheimer in 2024. He now returns to Marvel as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday (18 December 2026) on a deal reported at about $100 million for at least two films.
Celebrity Net Worth updated his estimate to $300 million on 31 July 2026.
Known for: Tony Stark, the role that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
2. Samuel L. Jackson: $250 million
Samuel L. Jackson played Nick Fury across the MCU, reportedly earning $4 million to $6 million per Marvel appearance. His films have grossed more than $27 billion worldwide.
He also has a long-running endorsement deal with Capital One. Note that his $250 million figure is an older Celebrity Net Worth estimate from May 2024, so it may not reflect his most recent work.
Even so, his long career outside Marvel keeps him well ahead of most of the younger Avengers.
Known for: Nick Fury and a film career spanning decades.
3. Scarlett Johansson: $165 million
Scarlett Johansson played Black Widow from Iron Man 2 (2010) to Black Widow (2021), for which she reportedly earned $20 million as star and producer. She settled her lawsuit with Disney over the film’s streaming release in 2021.
Away from Marvel, she co-founded skincare brand The Outset in 2022 and led Jurassic World Rebirth in 2025. Her estimate of $165 million makes her the richest woman in the Endgame cast. The figure comes from lovemoney’s May 2026 ranking, which cites Celebrity Net Worth.
Known for: Black Widow and The Outset skincare.
4. Chris Hemsworth: $130 million
Chris Hemsworth renegotiated his Marvel pay to a reported $15 million to $20 million per film for Infinity War and Endgame.
He also runs the fitness app Centr, which adds a business income alongside acting. He returns as Thor in Avengers: Doomsday.
His Marvel pay rise mirrors Chris Evans’s: both moved to a reported $15 million to $20 million a film for the final two Avengers instalments.
His estimated $130 million is the highest of the original six Avengers after Downey and Johansson.
Known for: Thor and the Centr fitness app.
5. Bradley Cooper: $120 million
Bradley Cooper voiced Rocket in the Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers films, but most of his wealth comes from elsewhere. He is a leading man, producer and director.
His directing work includes A Star Is Born (2018) and Maestro (2023). That mix of acting and filmmaking fees explains why a voice-only Marvel role sits alongside a top-five ranking.
His estimate of $120 million comes from lovemoney’s May 2026 list, and he is the only top-five name whose Endgame role was voice-only.
Known for: Rocket’s voice and A Star Is Born.
6. Chris Evans: $110 million
Chris Evans renegotiated to a reported $15 million to $20 million per film for the last Avengers films. Captain America’s arc ended in Endgame, when Steve Rogers passed on his shield.
Marvel has since confirmed his return as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday. His current estimate is $110 million, per lovemoney’s May 2026 ranking.
That fee put him among the best-paid members of the Endgame cast alongside Hemsworth, and Doomsday marks his first return as Steve Rogers since Endgame.
Known for: Captain America in the MCU.
7. Jeremy Renner: $80 million
Jeremy Renner played Hawkeye in the Avengers films and led the Disney+ series Hawkeye (2021). Outside Marvel, he stars in Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown.
His estimate of $80 million, from lovemoney’s May 2026 list, ties him with Zoe Saldana. Television work has become a steady part of his income since Endgame.
He is one of the few original Avengers to lead a Marvel streaming series, which was set after the events of Endgame.
Known for: Hawkeye on film and on Disney+.
7. Zoe Saldana: $80 million
Zoe Saldana played Gamora and is the highest-grossing actor of all time, with about $15.47 billion at the global box office across Avatar, Avengers and Star Trek films.
She won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Emilia Perez on 2 March 2025. Her $80 million estimate is a 2025 Celebrity Net Worth figure, as she is not in lovemoney’s list of Avengers.
She ties with Jeremy Renner, and her box office record makes her the most commercially successful actor in the cast.
Known for: Gamora, the Avatar films and an Oscar win.
9. Tom Holland: $75 million
Tom Holland’s Marvel pay rose from $250,000 for Captain America: Civil War (2016) to $10 million for Spider-Man: No Way Home. For Spider-Man: Brand New Day, released in July 2026 and past $2 billion worldwide, he reportedly took about $20 million upfront plus backend.
Estimates vary widely. lovemoney put him at $25 million in May 2026, while Celebrity Net Worth raised him to $75 million in August 2026, saying his total from the new film could reach $100 million or more. We use the newer figure.
Known for: Spider-Man in the MCU since 2016.
10. Paul Rudd: $70 million
Paul Rudd played Ant-Man in five Marvel films, most recently Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023). His Scott Lang was central to Endgame’s time-travel plot.
He is confirmed to return in Avengers: Doomsday on 18 December 2026. His estimated $70 million, from lovemoney’s May 2026 ranking, also reflects a long comedy career before Marvel.
He sits just behind Tom Holland after Holland’s 2026 rise. His estimate comes from lovemoney’s ranking, which cites Celebrity Net Worth.
Known for: Ant-Man and a long comedy career.
11. Benedict Cumberbatch: $40 million
Benedict Cumberbatch played Doctor Strange in the MCU and won an Emmy for Sherlock in 2014. His $40 million estimate is an older Celebrity Net Worth figure from April 2024.
He said in January 2025 that Doctor Strange will not appear in Avengers: Doomsday but will feature in Avengers: Secret Wars. That return is set for December 2027. Because his figure dates from 2024, treat it as an older estimate.
Sherlock, on BBC television, remains his best-known work outside Marvel.
Known for: Doctor Strange and Sherlock.
12. Mark Ruffalo: $35 million
Mark Ruffalo has played Bruce Banner, the Hulk, since The Avengers (2012). He has four Oscar nominations, most recently for Poor Things (2023).
He played Banner through Endgame, where the character finally merged his two sides, and his dramatic film work outside Marvel has brought him most of his awards recognition.
His estimated $35 million, from lovemoney’s May 2026 list, rounds out our top 12, just ahead of Brie Larson and Josh Brolin.
Known for: The Hulk and four Oscar nominations.
