With “Avengers: Doomsday” looming on the horizon and the multiverse’s stakes reaching a fever pitch, the original Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are proving that their financial staying power is as legendary as their cinematic feats. From massive return-to-form contracts to savvy tech investments, the Avengers aren’t just sitting on their piles; they are leveraging their superhero legacies to become the ultimate moguls of the modern era.
Robert Downey Jr.: The $300 Million “Doomsday” King
The godfather of the MCU remains at the top of the food chain. After a brief hiatus from the superhero world (and an Oscar win for “Oppenheimer”), Downey Jr. stunned the world by returning to the fold—this time as Doctor Doom. Reports for 2026 suggest his net worth has climbed to a staggering $300 million, bolstered by a “Doomsday” contract that reportedly includes perks like private jet travel and a massive percentage of the box office.
Scarlett Johansson: The Highest-Grossing Mogul
Scarlett Johansson has officially surpassed her peers as the highest-grossing lead actor in history, with her films—including the recent “Jurassic World Rebirth”—pushing past the $14.8 billion mark. With a 2026 net worth of $165 million, Johansson’s wealth is a masterclass in diversification. Her $40 million settlement with Disney over “Black Widow” set a precedent for actor compensation in the streaming age, and her skin-care line, The Outset, has matured into a significant beauty industry player.
Chris Hemsworth: The $130 Million Fitness Empire
Thor might have left Asgard, but Chris Hemsworth has built a kingdom in the wellness space. Sitting on an estimated $130 million, Hemsworth has moved beyond the $20 million-per-movie paydays he commands for the “Extraction” franchise. His fitness app, Centr, which he sold for a massive profit while retaining a stake, continues to be a goldmine. In 2026, he remains the most active Avenger, balancing high-octane sequels with a lifestyle brand that sells the God of Thunder physique to the masses.
Chris Evans: The $110 Million Selective Star
Since hanging up the shield, Chris Evans has been the most selective of the group, focusing on prestige TV and high-paying Netflix ventures like “The Gray Man.” With a net worth of $110 million, Evans has transitioned from franchise face to industry staple. While he hasn’t chased the same volume as Hemsworth, his savvy move into production and his continued relevance in high-budget thrillers have kept his bank account in the green.
Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner: The Steady Guardians
Rounding out the original squad, Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo have maintained impressive fortunes of $80 million and $35 million, respectively. Renner’s savvy real estate investments and his successful run on “Mayor of Kingstown” have kept him financially robust. Meanwhile, Ruffalo remains the group’s indie king, balancing his $15 million “Endgame” payday with acclaimed roles in projects like “Poor Things” and “Crime 101.”
