American actor, Robert John Downey Jr. has an estimated net worth of $300 million. He made his big comeback with the summer blockbuster hit in the film Iron Man (2008) as superhero Tony Stark, completing two decades of films and ending his reputation as one of Hollywood’s fiercest bad boys. The film was a huge success as its opening weekend is still among the top 25 openings of all time. He reprised the role of Tony Stark in the 2010 sequel, Iron Man 2, then in The Avengers in 2012, the third film in the trilogy, Iron Man 3, which broke box office records in 2013, Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: End Game (2019).
He is the son of rebellious filmmaker Robert Downey. He became a young star in the 1980s in films such as Less Than Zero (1987) and Chances Are (1989), and at age 27, he was nominated for an Oscar for his stunning performance as Charlie Chaplin in the 1992 film Chaplin. From 1996 to 2001, he made headlines of a different kind, getting arrested for drug and alcohol-related offenses and eventually serving time in prison. After his release in 2000, he returned to the small screen on TV’s Ally McBeal, but was arrested twice more by the end of 2001. He then made a comeback again, appearing in small films such as Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005), the Edward R. Murrow biopic Good Night, and Good Luck (2005), the animated A Scanner Darkly (2006) and Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006). His next role as Iron Man came in Ben Stiller’s comedy Tropic Thunder (2008), in which Downey played an actor who has undergone surgery to appear African-American.
In 2009, Downey played the fictional British detective Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes and its follow-up Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, released at Christmas 2009 and 2011 respectively. Shortly after Sherlock Holmes, Downey won a Golden Globe for his role as the famous detective. Downey’s earning power has skyrocketed in recent years, though business magazine Forbes still labeled him the fourth best value actor in movies in 2010 because of the huge returns he helps generate for his paycheck, suggesting he should negotiate even higher fees for himself in the future. It could all have gone differently for the troubled Downey as his own life has taken several anti-hero turns on the road to this success
