His major breakthrough came when he portrayed Pennywise in the 2017 film “It”. This role catapulted him to stardom and ushered him into the celebrity lifestyle, with the lucrative salaries that come with it.

Over the subsequent years, he diligently worked to establish his reputation in the industry, starring in movies like “Eternals” and “Barbarian”, actions that have significantly expanded his wealth. Here, check how much money the star has up to 2024.

What is Bill Skarsgård’s net worth in 2024?

With a string of successful projects under his belt and more on the horizon, Bill Skarsgård has captivated audiences worldwide. Despite not commanding exorbitant fees for his performances, he has amassed a net worth of $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

This is a substantial fortune, especially considering that his income solely derives from his acting career. Unlike many other celebrities, he doesn’t have contracts with brands, his own businesses, or other ventures.

If he chooses to continue down the horror path, it’s highly likely that he will attain icon status in the genre, leading to a considerable increase in his fortune. He’ll likely be called to headline blockbusters similar to “It”, further enhancing his financial standing.

Bill Skarsgård’s salary in The Crow

“The Crow” stands out as one of the most anticipated projects of the year, since it signifies the comeback of the iconic James O’Barr comic book series to the big screen after 19 years. Nevertheless, Bill Skarsgård’s compensation for his leading role in the film totals $1 million, according to Showbiz Galore.

While Skarsgård is recognized for not insisting on exorbitant sums for his roles, it remains a fact that his salary is surprisingly low compared to other actors of similar caliber. This is particularly noteworthy considering that names like Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, Jack Huston, and Jason Momoa were also associated with the movie.

The truth is, “The Crow” endured the famous development hell for almost two decades, plagued by constant departures from the project. It’s highly likely that many stars turned down the role due to the low salary, until ultimately, the actor from “It” accepted the part.

Bill Skarsgård’s salary in John Wick: Chapter 4

This case is even more striking than the previous one. While Keanu Reeves earned $10 million for his portrayal of John Wick in the fourth installment, Bill Skarsgård was given a mere $200K for playing the main antagonist.

And he wasn’t the only one to receive such a modest sum. Apart from Laurence Fishburne, the rest of the actors were also paid salaries below one million, a rarity for celebrities with careers like theirs.

However, not only were there no public clashes or interviews where the cast made this situation public and criticized it. On the contrary, Bill Skarsgård himself spoke about how happy he was to work alongside Keanu Reeves in a conversation with Moviefone:

“I’ve been a fan of his since I was eight when the first ‘Matrix’ came out. It was truly an honor to be a part of his movie and his franchise, and he couldn’t be a nicer guy. It was surreal acting opposite him, but just the nicest, sweetest guy and such a hard worker, and a genuinely caring actor, and a caring individual. It was just a treat.”
