What was Robin Williams’ net worth when he died?

The legend that is Robin Williams lives on through a stunning array of fan-favorite roles, stretched across every genre imaginable.

Williams is, of course, best known for his work in comedy, but he made his mark on nearly every corner of the cinematic world. He began acting in 1977, holding minor roles in films like Can I Do It… and Till I Need Glasses? and eventually became a household name.

His talent for drama, something few people expected of him in his early days, is on full display in films like Dead Poet’s Society and Good Will Hunting, and countless animated classics immortalize him as one of the voice acting world’s best.

His loss rocked the world for a reason, after the star gifted viewers with so many beloved characters, but he lives on through a generation’s worth of art. Fittingly, through his wide array of incredible releases, Williams continues to lift people up even after his death. 

Given his extensive catalog of work, it is only natural for people to wonder how he was compensated and what his net worth was before his passing.

Robin Williams’ net worth

Williams appeared in nearly 100 films and television shows over the course of his three-decade-long career. All that talent earned him plenty of acclaim, and a huge number of fans, as well as a tidy net worth.

The beloved actor was worth around $50 million at the time of his death, according to Celebrity Net Worth, despite odd claims that he was “broke” in his final years. 

In fact, Williams was worth quite a bit of money, despite several pricey divorces draining his finances. Had he spent less than the reported $30 million in combined divorce settlements, he likely would have been worth quite a bit more, but as it stands Williams was still a multi-millionaire when he died. 

Although his net worth was far from low, his impact on the entertainment industry and millions and millions of viewers is truly priceless. And while his career accomplishments are certainly impressive, the most valuable piece of his legacy is his children and the reminder to check on your friends and loved ones.

If you’re feeling nostalgic for the late, great Robin Williams and want to be reminded of the joy he brought to the world, you can enjoy him in a range of incredible releases. He starred as the Genie in Disney’s Aladdin, Peter Banning in Hook, Daniel Hillard (and Euphegenia Doubtfire) in Mrs. Doubtfire, and Adrian Cronauer in the oft-quoted Good Morning, Vietnam.
