An American actor, producer, philanthropist, and campaigner by the name of Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo made a few appearances in television shows and commercials while he was a small child, which aided the beginning of his Hollywood career. 

The Oscar-winning actor has starred in movies like 'This Boy's Life,' 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape,' 'The Basketball Diaries,' 'Romeo + Juliet,' 'Titanic,' 'Catch Me If You Can,' 'The Aviator,' 'The Departed,' 'Revolutionary Road,' 'Inception,' 'The Revenant,' and 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' started his acting career 30 years ago after being kicked off the cast of 'Romper Stomper'.

Fortunately, that somewhat unlucky start did not stop him from pursuing an acting career. As a young teen, he constantly worked, appearing in advertisements and guest appearances on numerous television programs. After being chosen for a recurring role in 'Growing Pains,' he started to draw more notice. He subsequently had his breakthrough in 1992 with his critically lauded performance in the movie 'This Boy's Life.' Since then, he has never stopped working.

Leonardo’s Life and Career

DiCaprio (November 11, 1974) is an actor most known for his roles in biopics and historical dramas. He has won multiple awards, including three Golden Globes, an Academy Award, and a British Academy Film Award. His films have earned more than $7.2 billion globally as of 2019, and he has appeared eight times in lists of the highest-paid actors in the world.

DiCaprio, a Los Angeles native, made his acting debut in television commercials in the late 1980s. He had recurrent parts in several television series in the early 1990s, including the sitcom “Parenthood” and his first significant film role as writer Tobias Wolff in “This Boy's Life” (1993).

He was nominated for his first Academy Award and Golden Globe at 19 for his portrayal of a youngster with developmental disabilities in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, which got positive reviews (1993). Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Titanic, two star-crossed love stories, brought him international fame (1997).

He slowed down for a few years after the latter became the highest-grossing movie at the time. DiCaprio sought out jobs in other genres in an effort to shed his reputation as a romantic hero, such as crime dramas like Catch Me If You Can (2002) and Gangs of New York (2002), the latter of which marked the beginning of his many fruitful collaborations with director Martin Scorsese. In addition to playing Howard Hughes in The Aviator (2004), Leonardo DiCaprio won praise for his roles in Blood Diamond (2006), The Departed (2006), and Revolutionary Road (2008).

The science fiction thriller Inception (2010), the western Django Unchained (2012), the biopic The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), and the survival drama The Revenant (2015), for which he won an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and the comedy-drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) are just a few of the high-profile projects DiCaprio starred in over the course of the next ten years.

DiCaprio is the creator of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, a non-profit group focused to advancing environmental awareness, as well as Appian Way Productions, a production business that has produced some of his films as well as the documentary series Greensburg (2008–2010). He frequently contributes to philanthropic organizations and has created some environmental documentaries.

For his services to the arts, he was made a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2005. In 2016, Time magazine listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Leonardo’s Net Worth and Properties

DiCaprio has a house in Los Angeles, California, and an apartment in Lower Manhattan, New York, in the TriBeCa district. He purchased a Belizean island in 2009, intending to develop an eco-friendly resort there. Additionally, he has a residence at Manhattan's eco-friendly Riverhouse, which has a view of the Hudson River. Given that the actor has several properties in the US and other countries that are expected to be worth around $100 million as of 2022, it is safe to assume that he is also a real estate mogul.

His luxury car collection includes:

  • Fisker Karma Hybrid

  • Lexus RX Hybrid

  • Volvo XC90 T8 Hybrid

  • Tesla Roadster

  • Toyota Prius

Additionally, he has made tens of millions of dollars through venture capital investments, real estate holdings, and sponsorships.

Leo's highest early pay was $1 million for The Basketball Diaries in 1995. Due to Titanic's success, Leo made $20 million for the 2000 movie The Beach. He received a $10 million base salary for his role in Gangs of New York.

Then, for the next motion pictures: Blood Diamond, The Aviator, The Departed, and Catch Me If You Can, he earned $20 million apiece. Leo was able to earn just about $60 million for the 2010 movie Inception by negotiating gross percentage points once more.

Between 1995 and 2020, Leonardo earned at least $300 million in salary and bonuses from the box office. For their roles as co-stars in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 Charles Manson movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, he and Brad Pitt each took $10 million salaries.
