How did Bruce Willis build his net worth?
Bruce Willis is a comedic and action actor and executive producer whose more than 60 films have exceeded $2.5 billion in box office ticket sales. Bruce is up there with Hollywood’s top ten box office draws and is reportedly worth $255 million.
Initially famous for his starring role alongside Cybill Sheperd as David Addison, the wisecracking PI in “Moonlighting” which ran for five seasons from 1985 to 1989, this gig earned him an Emmy and a Golden Globe as well as a very healthy bank balance.
During the height of this show, Seagram contracted Willis to promote their range of Golden Wine Cooler products which netted him a cool $5-7 million.
Beginning in 1988, he went on to star in the franchise of five phenomenally successful “Die Hard” movies, the first of which has become a staple of Christmas binge-watching.
Most notable is the $14 million he pocketed for just acting in the film and another $100 million for his share of the profits of “Sixth Sense,” a wildly successful movie where he starred alongside Haley Joel Osment.
Sadly, in 2022 it was announced that Willis had been diagnosed with Aphasia and was retiring from acting. This language disorder often occurs after a stroke or a head injury and robs you of the ability to communicate, according to the Mayo Clinic.
