How Did Leonardo DiCaprio Make His Money And Wealth?

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio was born on November 11th, 1974 in Hollywood, California. He is an only child, and is currently forty one years old. Aside from English, DiCaprio speaks a little bit of Italian, and some German. His parents divorced when he was young, and he lived with his mother and moved around Los Angeles. He dropped out of school before graduating to focus on his acting career, but would get his diploma later. He got his first acting gig when he was only five years old. He acted in the childrens’ series Romper Room, but was famously removed from the set for being too wild. After that, he started doing work in commercials, making an appearance in a commercial for matchbox cars in his early teenage years. His profile rose as he grabbed some acting roles in mildly popular sitcoms, as well as a few romantic comedies. He got his first big movie roll starring alongside Robert DeNiro in 1992’s This Boy’s Life. His first acclaimed acting performance came the next year, in 1993. He starred alongside Johnny Depp in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, playing the mentally handicapped brother of Depp’s titular character. DiCaprio’s performance was noted for its intensity, and he was nominated for many awards for his performance, including his first Oscar nomination.

It was the mid-90s in which DiCaprio made his true ascent into the elite actors of Hollywood and cemented his roll of a teen icon. After a few art films and mildly successful small budget films, he starred in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet, which was a successful movie, making almost $150 million worldwide. The next year, he starred in Titanic in 1997, possibly still his most famous role to date. The film was the highest grossing film in the world from 1997 until it was passed in 2010 by Avatar. It has made almost two billion dollars, and was a pop culture phenomena when it was released. DiCaprio’s face was everywhere, he was nominated for more awards, and he made over fifty million dollars for the role. After the success of Titanic, Leo deliberately scaled it back, wanting to lower his profile and accepting smaller roles, some of which were unpopular with critics.

In 2002, DiCaprio made his return to big budget films by starring in Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can. The film was praised, and he was nominated for another Golden Globe. The same year, he starred in Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York. In that film, DiCaprio starred alongside Daniel Day Lewis, both of whom turned in lauded performances. That film would begin a partnership between Scorsese and DiCaprio, who would collaborate on The Aviator two years later. For this performance, he was nominated for other Oscar, and won his first Golden Globe. After this, he turned in a string of great performances in acclaimed movies, including Blood Diamond and The Departed. Since then, he collaborated with Luhrmann again on The Great Gatsby. He also worked with Scorsese repeatedly, including on The Wolf Of Wall Street in 2013. Last year he starred in one of the best reviewed movies in the world, The Revenant, which won him his first Oscar for best actor, as well as another Golden Globe. Right now, DiCaprio is said to be at work on a sixth movie with Martin Scorsese, called The Devil in the White City. He is also said to be working on a film about the Volkswagen emissions scandal.
