His 41-year-long career has made him one of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/richest-actors-in-the-world-wealthiest-hollywood-actresses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">richest actors in the world</a> with a net worth of around $570 million. Cruise has attained stardom as one of the best action stars in Hollywood. From doing his own stunts to producing most of his films, the Top Gun&nbsp;star&nbsp;does it all.
Most of Cruise's wealth comes from his many films. The beginning of his career started with smaller roles in films like&nbsp;Endless Love&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Outsiders. However, it was the film&nbsp;Risky Business that jumpstarted Cruise's career. His role in the film earned him his first-ever Golden Globe nomination. The film grossed $64 million at the box office.&nbsp;
A couple of years later, Cruise took on the role of Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a reckless US Navy pilot, in the hit '80s movie&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/stylish-fourth-of-july-independence-day-movies-top-gun-the-sandlot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Top Gun</a>. It was the top-selling film during its release year and earned over $360 million. This role solidified Cruise's career in Hollywood.

Cruise also earns his living playing Ethan Hunt, a dangerous American spy, in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/tom-cruise-has-bmw-stolen-while-filming-mission-impossible" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mission Impossible</a> film series. While being the lead actor in every film, Cruise also produces these films under his independent production company Cruise/Wagner Productions.
The first installment in the&nbsp;Mission Impossible series grossed $470 million worldwide in 1996. So far, the entire series has accrued $3.5 billion in total. Cruise has made over $70 million from each film and there is rumored to be more from the franchise on the way.&nbsp;

One of Cruise's films finally hit the billion-dollar mark. This year, Cruise reprised his role as Maverick in the&nbsp;Top Gun sequel&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/all-the-best-movies-coming-in-2022-film-release-dates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Top Gun: Maverick</a>. The film has achieved $1.3 billion worldwide and is currently one of the top-grossing movies of 2022.
With an annual salary of $50 million, Cruise's lengthy career shows no sign of slowing down.&nbsp;
