George Lazenby
$100 million
Kevin Spacey’s net worth is estimated at $100,000 as of 2026 — a dramatic collapse from a career peak that once made him one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors. Spacey, a two-time Academy Award winner and former star of Netflix’s House of Cards, saw his wealth, career, and public standing decimated following sexual misconduct allegations beginning in 2017.
Updated March 2026: According to Finance Monthly, Kevin Spacey’s net worth stands at approximately $100,000 after years of legal battles, career exile, and financial losses including the foreclosure of his Baltimore home in 2024.
Kevin Spacey Fowler was born on July 26, 1959, in South Orange, New Jersey, to Thomas Geoffrey Fowler and Kathleen Ann Fowler. His father worked as a technical writer and his mother as a secretary. Spacey grew up in California after his family relocated, attending Chatsworth High School in Los Angeles. He studied at the Los Angeles Valley College before transferring to the Juilliard School in New York City, where he trained in drama. He left Juilliard after two years and worked in theater before breaking into Hollywood.
Spacey’s early career was built on stage and character work, earning a Tony Award nomination for Lost in Yonkers in 1991. His film breakthrough came with The Usual Suspects (1995), for which he won his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He followed that with a Best Actor Oscar for American Beauty (1999), cementing his status as one of the finest actors of his generation. Notable films include Se7en (1995), L.A. Confidential (1997), Pay It Forward (2000), and Superman Returns (2006). From 2013 to 2017, Spacey earned an estimated $500,000 per episode — including producer fees, up to $20 million per season — starring as Frank Underwood in Netflix’s House of Cards. He also served as Artistic Director of London’s Old Vic Theatre from 2004 to 2015.
In October 2017, actor Anthony Rapp publicly accused Spacey of making sexual advances when Rapp was 14 years old. Dozens of additional accusers came forward in subsequent weeks. Netflix immediately suspended and then terminated production of House of Cards with Spacey removed from the show. Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World replaced Spacey with Christopher Plummer after principal photography had been completed. His agency, management, and publicist all dropped him.
Spacey was criminally charged in the UK in 2022 and stood trial in 2023, where he was acquitted on all charges. A U.S. civil lawsuit by Anthony Rapp went to trial in 2022; a jury cleared Spacey. Despite the legal acquittals, his Hollywood career has not recovered. A civil assault claims trial is scheduled for October 2026. In December 2025, Spacey appeared in the Italian comedy series Minimarket, his first screen role since the scandal.
Kevin Spacey never married. He dated Dianne Dreyer from approximately 1992 to 2000. He has no children. For much of his career, Spacey was private about his personal life; in October 2017, amid the misconduct allegations, he publicly came out as gay. He has no permanent residence as of 2026 following the foreclosure of his Baltimore property. According to BBC News, Spacey has spoken publicly about his financial and personal difficulties in interviews since 2024.
Kevin Spacey’s net worth is estimated at approximately $100,000 as of 2026, according to Finance Monthly. This figure represents a near-total loss from a career-peak fortune estimated in the tens of millions. Legal fees, career exile following 2017 misconduct allegations, and the 2024 foreclosure of his Baltimore home have left Spacey with minimal assets.
Beginning in October 2017, more than 30 individuals accused Spacey of sexual misconduct, leading Netflix to fire him from House of Cards and the industry to effectively blacklist him. He was acquitted in criminal proceedings in the UK (2023) and in a U.S. civil trial (2022), but has received no major Hollywood work since. Legal fees and living expenses depleted his savings, and his Baltimore property was foreclosed in 2024.
Kevin Spacey was born on July 26, 1959, in South Orange, New Jersey. He is 66 years old as of 2026. He grew up in California and trained at the Juilliard School in New York.
