Kevin Costner is a two-time Academy Award winner, three-time Golden Globe winner, and a multi-faceted pop culture icon—think Field of dreams, Bodyguard, Yellowstone and much more. is it any surprise that he has raked in hundreds of millions over the years?

Let’s break down the specifics of the actor and director’s net worth.

In 1990, Costner not only acted in drama Dances with Wolveshe also directed it. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards the following year, with Costner winning Best Director and Best Picture. For Forbesstar took home a pretty penny after the huge success of the film and other projects that year – earning $50 million

For 1992 Bodyguard — in which he played the title role of Whitney Houston’s character — Costner likely earned between $20 million and $30 million, according to Baltimore Sun.

Costner’s latest successful project is, of course Yellowstone: the gritty Wild West drama of the Dutton family. Even during the show’s first season, which aired in 2018, the actor-director was bringing in $500,000 — half a million — per episode. This only increased with the huge success of the show, with Costner earning $1.3 million per episode before his character was killed off at the beginning of the second half of season 5 in November 2024.

Even more detailed information about Costner’s net worth came out in 2023, when he was going through a high-profile divorce from ex-wife Christine Baumgartner – with whom he shares three children. (The Dances with Wolves star is also the father of four grown children.) Baumgartner, who was married to Costner for 20 years, claimed in court documents that he earned $19.5 million in 2022 alone.

However, Costner pointed out that while Baumgartner’s numbers may have been accurate that year, “he was no longer under contract to Yellowstone” in 2023 “will make significantly less in 2023 than I will in 2022”.

Still, Baumgartner claimed that as of June 2023, her estranged husband was making more than $1 million a month — $1,537,000, to be exact — according to legal filings obtained by the company My Weekly at that time.
