- The actor has starred in films like Batman and Ticket to Paradise with Julia Roberts, why did he once reject a US$35 million pay cheque for a day’s work with a certain airline?
- His Casamigos tequila brand founded with Kaia Gerber’s dad Rande sold for US$1 billion, and he once generously gifted Tumi suitcases with US$1 million each to 14 of his pals
American actor and filmmaker George Clooney has hit the jackpot in many ways: he’s husband to the gorgeous Amal Clooney, the 44-year-old Lebanese-British barrister he married in 2014, a father to fraternal twins Ella and Alexander, and he sits atop a gigantic net worth.
While fans of the dashing actor may be well aware of his films, his Nespresso adverts and even his dating life as a bachelor before Amal, few may realise just how wealthy – and generous – the 61-year-old is.

Here’s what we know about Clooney’s crazy earnings and spending habits …
Tequila earned him big money in 2018 – not a TV or film project
Despite not having made a blockbuster film in recent years, Clooney emerged as Forbes’ highest-paid actor in 2018 thanks to the acquisition of his business, Casamigos Tequila, for US$1 billion. He earned a pre-tax pay cheque of US$239 million between June 1, 2017 and June 1, 2018 from the deal, per Forbes, along with earnings from endorsements and older films.
Clooney, together with entrepreneur Rande Gerber (father of Kaia Gerber) and real estate mogul Mike Meldman, founded Casamigos back in 2013. To date, the business is said to have reached almost triple its brand value, per The Drinks Business. The publication also named Casamigos as the fastest-growing spirits brand in 2022. Cheers!
