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.
