Thanks to the fact that Owen Wilson joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a popular role, there has been renewed interest in the comedy star. That has resulted in some of Wilson's fans learning more about the actor, including about his fascinating relationship with his daughter.

On the other hand, there are subjects that most of Wilson's fans know next to nothing about. Even though Wilson has been a major star for many years, most of his fans have no idea how he has made his impressive net worth. Wilson's fans also don't know how the actor spends his fortune.

This article will reveal how Owen Wilson has accumulated his impressive fortune. The article will then examine what Wilson does with his money.

Owen Wilson Has Made Millions From His Hollywood Roles

Looking back at the history of Owen Wilson's Hollywood career, it is amazing to see how some people seem to underestimate him. What those people may not realize is that Wilson has been so successful as a movie star that he has made a fortune for himself.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Wilson has been paid a staggering $90 million for only a portion of his acting roles.

Citing Vanity Fair in part, The Richest has gathered information about how much Wilson was paid for his biggest roles. Most notably, The Richest reports that Wilson received his biggest payday for starring in a mostly forgotten sequel to one of his most popular movies.

How much money have the movies Owen Wilson starred in made at the box office as of April 2024, according to The Numbers?

According to The Richest, Wilson was paid $15 million to star in Little Fockers, the third movie in the Meet the Parents franchise. That fact is impressive since Page Six reports that Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro weren't paid much more for the movie than Wilson. De Niro and Stiller were both reportedly paid $20 million for Little Fockers.

Two of Wilson's movies tie for second place on the list of the actor's Hollywood paydays. Wilson reportedly was paid $10 million for Starsky & Hutch and Wedding Crashers. The two movies were released in 2004 and 2005 which made those years huge for Wilson's career.

Wilson also was paid $8 million for a surprisingly long list of movies that underwhelmed when they were released. According to The Richest, Wilson received $8 million for The Big Year, Hall Pass, and How Do You Know.

During the rest of Wilson's career, the popular actor made between $1 million and $4 million for a series of movies. While those figures aren't as impressive as $15 million, they are numbers that most people can only dream of making someday.

Some examples of that include Wilson getting $2.5 million for Cars 2, $4 million for Shanghai Noon, $3 million for Behind Enemy Lines, and $2 million for Zoolander. Wilson also reportedly was paid $1 million for Marmaduke and $2 million for Marley & Me.

While it is unknown what Wilson was paid for his many other roles, it is clear that the actor has cashed in on his acting career in a big way.

In 2023, Unilad published an article looking at a hilarious examination someone conducted into Owen Wilson's career. According to the article, someone researched how much money Wilson made during his acting career and how many words he uttered per role. Based on that information, it was reported that Wilson got paid $1,324 on average each time he said "wow" onscreen.

Thanks to all of these impressive figures, Celebrity Net Worth reports that Wilson has a $70 million fortune as of March 2024. While that is extremely respectable, based on what is known about how Wilson spends his money, that figure will likely grow in the future.

Owen Wilson Has Spent A Fortune On Real Estate, Cars, And Child Support

Even though Owen Wilson is best known as an actor, it turns out that he seems to have been working hard at something else. According to Cosmopolitan and Celebrity Net Worth, Wilson has built a truly impressive real estate empire.

In 2021, Cosmopolitan reported that Wilson had spent the majority of his net worth on real estate. More specifically, Wilson had purchased between $40 million and $50 million worth of real estate.

Some of the real estate Wilson has purchased is for homes he and his family enjoy. According to Cosmopolitan, Wilson has homes in Santa Monica and Los Angeles as well as a beach house in Malibu.

Celebrity Net Worth also reports that Wilson owns two side-by-side parcels of land in Hawaii he bought for $5.85 million. Wilson also owns property in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. The website also reports that it is likely that some of the real estate Wilson owns is solely an investment he will later cash in on.

In the TV show Loki, Wilson portrayed a character with a deep love for jet skis. In real life, Wilson isn't a jet ski enthusiast, but there is something else he loves. On top of the property that Wilson owns, the actor also has spent a good amount of money on cars.

How rich are the members of The Frat Pack as of April 2024, according to Celebrity Net Worth?

In 2017, Wilson told Conan O'Brien that his first big purchase after making it as an actor was a Porsche. It has also been reported that Wilson owns a Prius. Tragically for Wilson, it became clear that he owns a Tesla after his Model S had its tires stolen outside his Santa Monica house.

As a father of three children, there is no doubt that Owen Wilson spends a portion of his immense fortune on his kids. However, it is unclear how much Wilson spends taking care of the two sons with whom he has a relationship.

On the other hand, there have been reports about how much Wilson pays to take care of his daughter he has never met. After a DNA test confirmed that Wilson is the biological father of Lyla Aranya Wilson, he reached an agreement with her mother, Varunie Vongsvirates.

According to Yahoo! Entertainment, Wilson paid Vongsvirates a lump sum of $70,000. Wilson has then gone on to pay Vongsvirates monthly child support of $25,000.
