What is Daniel Craig’s Net Worth and Salary?

Daniel Craig, known for his portrayal of James Bond, is a successful English actor with a net worth of $160 million. His career took off after “Casino Royale,” where he redefined the spy character. He transitioned from supporting to leading roles, starring in various films like “Layer Cake” and “Enduring Love.” Craig’s success as Bond opened doors to big-budget projects like “Infamous” and “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”

Early Life

Daniel Wroughton Craig was born in Chester, England, on March 2, 1968. His mother, Carol Olivia (née Williams), was an art teacher, and his father, Timothy John Wroughton Craig, was in the Merchant Navy before becoming the landlord of two pubs in Cheshire. He has an older sister, Lea. Following his parents’ divorce, Craig and his sister moved with their mother to Liverpool, where he briefly attended Calday Grange Grammar School.

Introduced to serious acting by his mother at Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre, Craig had been acting in school plays since age six. At sixteen, he joined the National Youth Theatre, prompting him to leave school for London. To finance his training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, he worked part-time in restaurants, graduating in 1991.

Career

Craig’s screen career started in the 1992 film “The Power of One” at age twenty-four. His breakout came in 1996 with “Our Friends in the North”. In the late 1990s, he worked on various projects. In the 2000s, he appeared in films across genres like “Some Voices” (2000), “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” (2001), “Road to Perdition” (2002), “Sylvia” (2003), “Layer Cake” (2004), and “Archangel” (2005). Eon Productions convinced him to play James Bond in 2005. Despite initial doubts, “Casino Royale” (2006) was a huge hit, grossing over $500 million worldwide. Craig went on to star in four more Bond films.
