Known for iconic movies from "The Godfather" to "Apocalypse Now" and "Gone in 60 Seconds" Robert Duvall, an American actor, producer, and director, has amassed a net worth of an impressive $70 million. Having studied with Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman in New York, Duval made his debut in 1956 but gained attention with the 1962 adaptation of "To Kill a Mockingbird." But it was his effortless performance as Tom Hagen in two "Godfather" movies that remain memorable, as well as a small but impactful appearance in "Apocalypse Now."

Acting has been Duvall's main source of income and his journey began in the late 1950s with an off-Broadway debut in George Bernard Shaw's "Mrs. Warren's Profession." He subsequently ventured into television, appearing in various genres, including action, suspense, detective, and crime dramas throughout the 1960s. However, it was in the 1970s that his career truly took off with stardom and an Academy Award nomination.

In the late '70s and '80s, Duvall continued to shine, receiving accolades for his roles in films like "Network," "American Buffalo," and "Tender Mercies," which earned him an Oscar for Best Actor. He made his way back to television, and earned an Emmy nomination for his role in "Lonesome Dove."

By the time the third film in the series was in pre-production, Duvall was offered a substantial $1 million salary, more than double twice previous paycheck.

In 1992, Robert Duvall founded the production company Butcher's Run Films, further diversifying his involvement in the entertainment industry.

Known for his conservative and libertarian political views, Duvall has shown support for various Republican figures, including President George W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Sarah Palin, and Mitt Romney. He and Pedraza have actively contributed to charitable causes, establishing the Robert Duvall Children's Fund and supporting Pro Mujer, a nonprofit organization aiding impoverished women in Latin America.
