What is Daniel Craig’s net worth in 2026?

Celebrity Net Worth put Daniel Craig’s net worth at $200 million; the page carried no update date when accessed on October 28, 2026.

Craig redefined James Bond for a new era across five films from 2006’s Casino Royale to 2021’s No Time to Die, with his per-film salary climbing as the series grossed billions. After Bond, the Knives Out films gave him a second franchise – and one of the most lucrative actor deals Netflix has ever made.

How Daniel Craig made his money

The Bond ladder. His casting in Casino Royale was initially controversial; the film grossed more than $600 million worldwide, and by Spectre and No Time to Die he was among the highest-paid actors in the industry per film.

The Netflix deal. IndieWire reported in 2021 that Craig could land a $100 million payday from Netflix’s roughly $450 million purchase of two Knives Out sequels – Glass Onion and Wake Up Dead Man – which Variety also reported. Those are reported figures, and the actual terms are not public.

The stage and screen base. Layer Cake, Munich, Road to Perdition and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo built the dramatic resume that made his Bond casting work.
