Sylvester Stallone Net Worth $275 Million
Some of Stallone’s earliest film appearances include Woody Allen’s movie “Bananas”, Jack Lemmon’s “The Prisoner of Second Avenue”, and “The Lords of Flatbush”. However, with the release of a smash-hit “Rocky” in 1976, Sylvester Stallone soon gained a vast public recognition, and reached a status of a well-known celebrity. After witnessing the Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner fight, Stallone was inspired to write a script for the movie. “Rocky”, directed by John G. Avildsen, managed to earn $225 million, even though it had an initial budget of only $1 million, and became the highest grossing film of 1976. The movie received many positive reviews and eventually won three Oscar Awards. Such a success of this sports drama film resulted in five sequels. The last movie titled “Rocky V” was released in 1990, receiving generally negative reviews and is still considered to be a rather disappointing conclusion to a highly favorable series. Nevertheless, it is primarily due to his role as Rocky that Sylvester Stallone became a recognized name in the entertainment industry, and now has a net worth of $275 million.
Stallone’s second successful role was in Ted Kotcheff’s movie “First Blood” (1982), where he appeared as a Vietnam veteran John Rambo. The movie again was critically acclaimed and praised, and resulted in two sequels: “Rambo: First Blood Part II”, and “Rambo III”. Even though the sequels were not as successful as the original movie, Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo became one of the most recognizable and memorable characters in the movie industry. Stallone’s string of hit films continued with “Demolition Man” where he co-starred with Wesley Snipes, “The Specialist” with Sharon Stone that grossed over $170 million worldwide, and “Assassins” with Julianne Moore and Antonio Banderas. One of Stallone’s most recent film ventures is an ensemble action movie “The Expendables”, and its sequel “The Expendables 2”. The movies feature a spectacular cast of Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. A remarkable actor and a film director with an estimated net worth of $275 million, Sylvester Stallone has been nominated for and won a number of awards, such as People’s Choice Awards, Academy Awards, BAFTA Awards, Golden Globes, and Writers Guild of American Awards among others. Sylvester Stallone currently resides in Los Angeles with his third wife Jennifer Flavin and their three children.
