Burt bagged his first role in 1971 in "Angel Baby" and got his career breakthrough with "Riverboat" and then delivered massive hits such as "Deliverance" and "Smokey and the Bandits" in the 80s. His major chunk of income came from the phenomenal acting projects he bagged on the big screen and TV. Reynolds emerged as a famous name when he appeared on "Gunsmoke" and "Hawk" and later gave enormous hits on the big screen and became a popular name in Hollywood. Reynolds tasted fame in the initial phases of his career and earned himself a net worth of $60 million which is to be estimated at around $150 million but lost a major part of it because of his decisions.

Burt Reynolds always wanted to live a lavish lifestyle and therefore, purchased several homes and had a 160-acre ranch that had 150 horses. He already had mansions in Florida and Georgia and purchased yet another one in Beverly Hills after his marriage with Loni Anderson. He also had a nightclub restaurant named Burt's Place in Atlanta and a private "dinner theatre" to educate and train young artists in Jupiter, Florida. His net worth diminished due to his impulsive investment decisions due to which at one point he had to borrow money and was then sued due to his inability to pay the amount. His assets at the time of bankruptcy were $6.65 million while debts totaled $11.2 million.
