What is Jason Momoa’s net worth in 2026?

Celebrity Net Worth put Jason Momoa’s net worth at $50 million when it last updated the figure on October 23, 2026.

Momoa earned a $3 million base salary for 2018’s Aquaman, but backend participation tied to the film’s success pushed his eventual compensation past $7 million – and the film’s $1.152 billion worldwide gross, per Wikipedia,, then the highest ever for a DC film, gave him the leverage to renegotiate.

How Jason Momoa made his money

The renegotiated sequel. After Aquaman became the highest-grossing DC film at the time of its release, Momoa renegotiated his deal and earned $15 million for 2023’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom – five times his original base.

Beyond Atlantis. He played Duncan Idaho in Dune, the villain Dante Reyes in Fast X, led three seasons of Apple’s See, and starred in 2025’s A Minecraft Movie, which grossed about $955 million worldwide, per Forbes citing The Numbers.

The road in. Baywatch Hawaii, Stargate Atlantis and a memorable turn as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones built the profile that landed him the DC role.

Reported earnings figures

  • Celebrity Net Worth says Momoa earned a $3 million base salary for Aquaman (2018), estimated to top $7 million with back-end pay, and $15 million for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (Celebrity Net Worth). We did not find a primary report of those fees. They are single-film pay, not net worth.
  • Wikipedia lists Aquaman’s worldwide box office at $1.152 billion (Wikipedia: Aquaman). Forbes, citing The Numbers, reports A Minecraft Movie ended its run at $955,149,195 worldwide, a gross that is not the film’s net (Forbes, July 11, 2025). Film grosses belong to the studios, not to him.
