Daniel Baldwin Net Worth $400,000
Daniel Baldwin was born into a family of successful artists, most of whom were also actors or working in the film industry which made it easier for Daniel to start pursuing this career path himself. Daniel made his first television appearance in 1988 in the TV film entitled “Too Good to Be True”. A year later he appeared in his first feature film “Born on the Fourth of July” which was nominated for and won a few Academy Awards and thus greatly helped in Daniel’s early career, including building his net worth.
In the next few years Daniel had a few small roles in films, but it was his role in the police procedural TV show “Homicide: Life on The Street” that gained him noticed and which has become one of the most successful roles of his career and has helped build-up his net worth. For reasons unknown, Daniel decided to leave the show after three seasons, in 1995 even though he had received mostly positive reviews. In 1998, Daniel’s drug addiction problem started to get in the way of his career and he lost a promising role in the comedy film “It had to Be You” after getting arrested. In 2000 Daniel returned to the screen, when he played a small role in the crime drama “The Sopranos”, and then in the movie adaptation of the popular TV show “Homicide: The Movie” both of which roles have also contributed to his net worth.
In the next few years, Daniel mostly appeared in smaller and less significant films such as “Our Fathers” in 2005 and “Moola” in 2006. During his career, Daniel has also appeared in reality TV shows “Celebrity Fit Club”, “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”, “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here!” and “Celebrity Wife Swap”.
In his personal life, Daniel Baldwin has been married three times and is currently engaged to the entrepreneur Robin Sue Hertz Hempel. Between 1990 and 1996, Daniel was married to Elizabeth Baldwin and in 1994 they had a daughter named Alexandra. Daniel also has a son named Atticus who was born in the same year as a result of his relationship with actress Isabella Hoffman. With his second wife, Joanne Smith, he has two daughters: Avis Ann (born in 2008) and Finley Rae Martineau (born in 2009). They divorced in 2012.

Quote
1
Where I am right now I'm pretty good at. You know, I understand that there's a problem. I'm addressing it. I'm doing the work that I have to do.
2
I thought, 'My God, I'm gonna make $15,000 a week for 13 weeks.' What would I do with that kind of money? You know, I had never seen anything like that before in my life.
3
What this does for me emotionally, psychologically and spiritually - to look in the mirror and not be ashamed - has been very important in not relapsing.
4
I tell people, if you really want me to look that good, why don't you cough up about $2 million more and hire Alec or Billy? If you want me to do it, this is what you get.
5
It's difficult to talk about, you know, my inadequacies, my inability to stay sober when I'm a relatively bright man and I've had a lot of great blessings and a lot of great opportunities.
6
I prefer to say that I am a beautiful person. But the addict is a horrible person.
7
I would never do another sitcom. It was so boring I wanted to pull my fingernails off.
8
My little son, Atticus, desperately needs his dad and I haven't been there for him... and that's sad.
9
The one thing that disturbs me about Alec is that people don't realize that he's really funny.
10
There's the person that's the addict, and then there's the person that's who you are.
11
If you ask me if I think I will be sober in 24 hours time I can say yes, but in two years I can't tell you. I could be dead.
12
I'd just turned 50, weighed 285, and my doctor had read me the riot act about my health.
13
For me, for the type of addict I am, when I start getting those swirly thoughts and stuff, and they talk about slippery places, slippery people and slippery things, you know, I need to - I needed to take my cell phone and eliminate all the phone numbers, change the phone numbers so no one I knew before could call me or reach me.
14
At the end of the spectrum when you get to that 12th step, when you have that spiritual awakening we make ourselves available to help other people.
15
Homicide is the best material I've had the chance to do.
16
I've been sober now for a couple of years and I'm taking my sobriety very seriously - one day at a time and I am moving forward in my career.
17
I believe as a born-again Christian that once you've had a chance to drink from the well, it becomes your responsibility to replenish the well.
18
The addict will screw you over and lie to you and do all kinds of things.
19
I mean, it's a bit of a double-edged sword being a celebrity and being an actor as I'm sure you know. Your public laundry is constantly aired out and I thought that maybe I could do some good.
20
I don't really drink very much, although I have abused alcohol in the past.
