But with dramatic turns over the years, he’s been able to show he’s got the talent to match his looks.
As a follow-up to his acclaimed performance in 2008’s In Bruges, he has landed an Academy Award nomination for another Martin McDonagh movie, 2022’s The Banshees of Inisherin. Now that the star has cemented his place in Hollywood history, it’s time for us to know: how much is the handsome actor worth?
Here is all you need to know about Colin Farrell’s net worth.

How much does Colin Farrell make per movie?
The amount of money that Colin Farrell makes per movie has varied greatly over the years. In 2001, he earned $2 million for American Outlaws and was paid $2.5 million for 2002’s Hart’s War and Minority Report respectively. His salary jumped up to $5 million for 2003’s The Recruit and $8 million for S.W.A.T. that same year. He reached a $10 million payday for 2004’s Alexander as well as 2006’s Miami Vice reboot.
However, Farrell also went through a career lull following the disappointing reception of Alexander and had a string of flops. As a result, his asking price for movie roles has changed throughout his career. It also depends on the project’s budget and the size of his role. With Farrell reportedly taking $3 million for a recent acclaimed role, we can say he most likely makes in the $3 million to $10 million range for most of his movie roles nowadays.

This could be because he was also reportedly paid $2.5 million for Hart’s War the same year and potentially the two salaries were combined in reports, or he could have actually earned the $5 million per movie payday for the Steven Spielberg-helmed blockbuster.
