Edgar*, he makes significantly less). According to IMDB, he hit the exclusive [$20-million-per-film](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000138/bio#salary) mark back in 2000. Between June 2014 and June 2015, the Oscar contender earned $29 million, according to *Forbes*. That's a bit on the low end for DiCaprio, who grossed an estimated [$39 million](http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mfl45ekhem/leonardo-dicarpio/) the previous year. A lot of that comes from base salary, but DiCaprio also makes a generous cut of the back end—his 2013-14 haul included box office behemoths *The Great Gatsby* and *The Wolf of Wall Street,* plus producer's fees. (His most [lucrative producing credits](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?view=Producer&id=leonardodicaprio.htm) include *The Aviator* and *The Wolf of Wall Street.*) ***Read Next: [How Much Money Does Jennifer Lawrence Make?](https://money.com/jennifer-lawrence-net-worth/)*** But *Inception* was his [biggest payday to date](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000138/bio#salary), according to IMDB: between his acting salary, back end profits, and a share of DVD and pay-TV revenue, DiCaprio made as much as $59 million from the Christopher Nolan film. Like Jennifer Lawrence, DiCaprio also benefits from lucrative endorsement deals. He's campaigned [for a TAG Heuer](http://www.swissclassicwatches.com/leonardo-dicaprio-with-tag-heuer-limited-edition-leonardo-dicaprio-link-calibre-16-chronograph/) collection that included a limited edition timepiece named after him, and starred in Suzuki ads. Page Six reported that DiCaprio, along with Brad Pitt and Robert De Niro, [earned $13 million](http://pagesix.com/2014/09/03/how-pitt-dicaprio-and-de-niro-made-13m-each-in-2-days/) to make a "short film" for a casino (though their reps denied it at the time) in 2014. And back in 2011, Leo reportedly made [$5 million for a single commercial](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/leonardo-dicaprio-to-reportedly-earn-5-million-for-cell-phone-ad/) for a Chinese cellphone company. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/leonardo-dicaprio-net-worth/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Celebrities", "item": "https://money.com/celebrities/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "How Much Money Does Leonardo DiCaprio Make?" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/leonardo-dicaprio-net-worth/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/leonardo-dicaprio-net-worth/", "name": "How Much Money Does Leonardo DiCaprio Make?", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-02-25T14:00:22.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/leonardo-dicaprio-net-worth/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/leonardo-dicaprio-net-worth/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-05-16T10:57:03.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "How Much Money Does Leonardo DiCaprio Make?", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/02/160225_em_leoworth.jpg", "width": 2100, "height": 1400, "caption": "160225_EM_LeoWorth" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alicia Adamczyk", "url": "https://money.com/author/alicia-adamczyk/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/alicia-adamczyk/#author", "image": "https://img.money.com/2016/01/alicia-headshot-2.jpg?quality=85&w=640&h=640&crop=1", "email": "alicia.adamczyk@moneymail.com", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/aliciaadamczyk" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2016-02-25T14:00:22.000Z", "description": "How much Leonardo DiCaprio makes per film and endorsement deal.", "abstract": "How much Leonardo DiCaprio makes per film and endorsement deal.", "@id": "https://money.com/leonardo-dicaprio-net-worth/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-05-16T10:57:03.000Z", "wordCount": 268, "keywords": [ "celebrities", "Hollywood", "Oscars" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Celebrity", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity" ] } ] } ] } ```
