What is Nicolas Cage’s net worth in 2024?
Nicolas Cage has had a long and diverse career in Hollywood, which has allowed him to amass a considerable fortune, especially with the many successes he possesses. Marca reported that his current net worth is $25 million.
Despite becoming one of the wealthiest celebrities, he has also faced financial challenges due to his extravagant lifestyle and some poor investment decisions, as well as some unnecessary purchases he made.
Many years ago, he took up a new hobby of collecting items. He has bought things like a dinosaur skull, comic book collections, a pet octopus, and a pyramid-shaped tomb in New Orleans.
In 2009, he faced problems with the IRS over unpaid taxes amounting to several million dollars, which forced him to sell some of his properties and assets. However, he managed to bounce back and stabilize his finances.
In his prime years, the star invested in real estate and other luxury assets, including castles in Europe, houses in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New Orleans, and a private island in the Bahamas.
