Keanu Reeves’s biography and net worth: here’s how much the famous Canadian actor earns, who is now also trying his hand at music with the alternative rock band Dogstar.
How much does Keanu Reeves earn? A perennially relevant question, considering he’s one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors, despite his private lifestyle, which is almost the opposite of that of many of his peers.
Keanu Reeves’s film career took off in the late 1980s with films like River’s Edge and Dangerous Liaisons (1988), but it was with Point Break (1991) and especially Speed (1994) that he became an action film icon. However, it was his role as Neo in the Matrix trilogy (1999–2003) that established him as an international star, combining philosophy, cyberpunk, and visual spectacle in a character that became the symbol of a generation.
In the 2000s, he alternated action projects with more introspective roles, including Constantine (2005), A Scanner Darkly (2006), and Man of Tai Chi (2013), which he also directed. His triumphant return came with John Wick (2014), a stylish and brutal action saga that relaunched his career.
Recently, Keanu Reeves has also returned to cultivating his passion for music: in 2022, the alternative rock band Dogstar, for which he is the bassist, was re-activated.
Keanu Reeves, however, has also become known—especially thanks to social media—for his generosity, often splitting or donating his cachet from his various films. Let’s take a look at his biography and his net worth.
How much does Keanu Reeves earn: net worth
Keanu Reeves has built a fortune thanks to his successful films, but he has also made generous donations, especially to cancer research—in honor of his ailing sister—and has shared his million-dollar bonuses with the technical staff of his films.
As of 2025, Keanu Reeves’s estimated net worth is $380 million, although some sources suggest the actor’s bank account is over $400 million.
As mentioned, Keanu Reeves is known for giving up part of his salary on several occasions to help other cast members or improve production. This isn’t a trivial choice given his earnings.
For the Matrix trilogy alone, he reportedly earned over $120 million plus bonuses, while for the 2021 sequel, he secured $12 million plus a percentage of the proceeds.
The John Wick series, however, is more unusual. For the first film, Reeves reportedly earned just $1 million, a figure that then rose to $20 million for the fourth film.
