Vin Diesel net worth and
salary: Vin Diesel is an American actor, director and producer who has a net
worth of $200 million. Vin Diesel is primarily famous for having an extremely
successful career in the action film drama.
Vin Diesel was born July 18, 1967
in New York City, New York. He is widely known as an action star who has
starred in a series of blockbusters including "xXx", "Saving
Private Ryan", "The Chronicles of Riddick" and of course the
"Fast and the Furious" franchise. Diesel often serves as a producer
or administrative producer for his films, which has allowed him to earn some extremely
large paychecks during his career. He also wrote, directed and produced two
movies early in his career titled "Strays" and
"Multi-Facial".
One of his savviest business moves to date occurred
when Vin agreed to make a cameo in the movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo
Drift". In lieu of receiving a large paycheck for his acting fee on
"Tokyo", Vin convinced film studio Universal to instead give him full
rights to the character Riddick. That means Vin and his production company, One
Race, literally own the Riddick character which, over time, could turn out to
be a very shrewd business choice.
Over his career, Vin Diesel's movies
have made over $7 BILLION dollars at the worldwide box office. That makes him
one of the highest grossing actors of all time. So far, his highest grossing
movie is 2015's "Furious 7" which grossed $1.5 billion
worldwide. Vin Diesel has been married to Paloma Jimenez since 2007.
