Leonard Nimoy has an estimated net worth of $45 million. Veteran actor, film director, poet, musician and photographer, Leonard Nimoy became famous for his role as Spock in the original Star Trek series 1966-1969, numerous film, television and video game sequels.
Leonard Nimoy, who grew up in a Boston tenement and acted in community theater from the age of eight, made his Hollywood debut at age 20, with a small role in Queen for a Day (1951) and as a ballplayer in Perennial Rhubarb (1951). After spending two years in the Army, he continued to get minor, often uncredited roles – for example, an Army telex operator in Them! (1954) – but his role as Narb, a Martian who eventually adapts to Earth, in the final scene of the corny Republic serial Zombies of the Stratosphere (1952) somewhat foreshadows the role that would make him a household name – Mr. Spock, the half-human/half-Vulcan science officer on “Star Trek” (1966), one of TV’s most successful series ever.
His performance earned him three Emmy nominations and launched his career as a writer and director, most notably Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), the tale of a humpback whale rescue that proved to be the most successful of the Star Trek films. Stage credits include “Fiddler on the Roof”, “Oliver”, “Camelot” and “Equus”. He has hosted the popular TV series “In Search of…” (1976) and “Ancient Mysteries” (1994), written numerous poems and guest-starred in two episodes of “The Simpsons” (1989). He played Mustapha Mond on NBC’s Brave New World (1998) (TV).
On February 27, 2015, at the age of 83, Nimoy died at his home in Bel Air from complications of COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
