Net worth 2025
$7 million
As of December 2025, it’s estimated that Lukas Haas has a net worth of about $7 million. Let’s breakdown his eaning sources:
1. Film Roles
Lukas Haas has been acting since the early 1980s, starting with his breakthrough performance in Witness (1985) at just eight years old. As a child actor, his earnings would have been based on then-current SAG minimums for minors, likely in the range of a few hundred dollars per day for that shoot, with residuals still trickling in today when the film airs or streams.
In adulthood, his film work has included high-profile titles like:
-
Mars Attacks! (1996)
-
Brick (2005)
-
Inception (2010)
-
The Revenant (2015)
-
First Man (2018)
For supporting roles in studio films like Inception and The Revenant, the SAG theatrical minimum for a weekly rate is currently over $4,000 (and was proportionally less in past years), but actors with experience and name recognition often negotiate above-scale rates. If Haas worked 4–6 weeks on a major feature, his upfront paycheck could reasonably fall between $25,000 and $100,000, depending on his negotiated contract. This does not include residuals, which can continue for years.
2. Television Roles
Haas has also appeared in TV shows such as:
-
24 (2006)
-
Touch (2013)
-
Guest spots on other series
TV pay varies greatly by role type:
-
Guest star (network prime-time): Typically $8,000–$15,000 for a single episode
-
Recurring role: Can run $20,000–$40,000+ per episode depending on profile and show budget
-
Residuals: Each time an episode airs again or is streamed under certain contracts, Haas earns a small percentage of the original fee.
Though TV work may not always pay as much upfront as film, residuals can be steadier—especially for network reruns and long-licensed streaming content.
3. Residuals and Royalties
This is a key part of Haas’s long-term income. SAG-AFTRA rules mean he earns residuals whenever:
-
Films he appeared in are sold to TV networks or streaming services
-
TV episodes are rerun domestically or internationally
-
Physical media (DVD/Blu-ray) or digital copies are sold
For instance, every time Inception is shown on cable, HBO, or Netflix, Haas receives a payment. While these checks start high after release, they gradually decline over the years, but with Haas’s decades-long career, he likely receives residual income from dozens of projects every year.
4. Music Career
Beyond acting, Haas is a musician—writing, performing, and releasing his own music. He has played in bands, collaborated with artists, and contributed songs to soundtracks. His income here includes:
-
Streaming royalties from platforms like Spotify and Apple Music
-
Publishing royalties for songwriting
-
Sync fees if his music is licensed for use in films, commercials, or TV shows
While independent music earnings are typically modest unless a song gains significant traction, they provide Haas with another creative outlet and supplementary revenue stream.
5. Commercials and Brand Work
There is evidence Haas has appeared in at least one national commercial campaign. SAG-AFTRA commercial contracts pay a session fee (often $700–$1,000 for the day) plus usage fees for every cycle the ad runs on TV, cable, or digital platforms. A widely run campaign can earn an actor five figures over its life.
