Kevin Costner's net worth

One of the highest-paid actors in the late '80s and early '90s, Kevin Costner has raked in a net worth of $250 million so far, after delivering blockbuster movies and a hit TV show in a career spanning beyond four decades. The business school graduate took up acting after an interaction with Richard Burton on a flight. He could've been part of "The Big Chill" which changed the careers of actors such as Jeff Goldblum and William Hurt, but his entire part was edited out. After appearing in "Silverado" for the same director, Costner got his career-defining lead role in "The Untouchables" in 1987. He is also well known for being a part of movies like, "Dances with Wolves," which he both directed and appeared in, "Robin Hood: Princes of Thieves," and "Yellowstone".
