Willem Dafoe's net worth is estimated at $40 million as of 2025, according to multiple sources including Celebrity Net Worth, The Richest, and Social Life Magazine. This figure reflects his four-decade-long career in film, theater, and voice acting, with notable roles in Platoon, Spider-Man, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Florida Project, and The Lighthouse. Despite his acclaim, Dafoe is known for his modest lifestyle and preference for artistic integrity over blockbuster paychecks, choosing to live in Rome, Los Angeles, and New York rather than in luxury enclaves.
Primary Income Sources: Acting in over 150 films, voice work (e.g., Finding Nemo, Fantastic Mr. Fox), and collaborations with acclaimed directors like Wes Anderson and Lars von Trier.
Real Estate: Owns properties in New York (including a $3.9 million Manhattan apartment) and upstate New York, where he previously owned a 6-acre property listed for $1.275 million in 2023.
Philanthropy & Lifestyle: While not a major charity donor publicly, he lives a low-key, grounded life, often described as "anti-Hollywood" in his financial and personal choices.
Note: Some sources suggest a higher net worth of $80 million, but the $40 million figure is consistently reported across reputable outlets as of early 2026.
