Biography
Kevin Spacey net worth is estimated at $30 million, significantly diminished from a peak of around $100 million following multiple sexual misconduct allegations that emerged in 2017 and effectively ended his Hollywood career. At his height, Spacey was one of the most respected actors in Hollywood, winning Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor for The Usual Suspects (1995) and Best Actor for American Beauty (1999). He also served as the Artistic Director of the Old Vic Theatre in London and starred as Frank Underwood in House of Cards on Netflix. Following his firing from House of Cards and acquittal at a 2023 UK trial, his career prospects remain uncertain.
