Net worth 2025

$20 million

As of December 2025, it’s estimated that Julia Roberts has a net worth of about $20 million. D’Onofrio earns his income from multiple creative streams: television, film, streaming platforms, directing, producing, voice acting, and even the stage. Let’s break it down.

1. TV Stardom: ‘Law & Order: Criminal Intent’ Was His Cash Cow

D’Onofrio’s most iconic television payday came from playing Detective Robert Goren on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. He starred in 141 episodes from 2001 to 2011, making him a household name and a critical force in the franchise.

According to public records and network insiders, D’Onofrio reportedly earned around $250,000–$350,000 per episode in the later seasons.
In Season 7, there was a noted contract freeze with him earning $350K for 11 episodes — about $31,800 per episode.
At peak speculated figures, some industry sources suggest his fee reached as high as $1 million per episode — though this was likely anecdotal or reserved for special contract deals.

Estimated earnings from the series: $12M–$20M over ten seasons.

This show gave him not just a regular paycheck but also industry leverage that carried over to future roles and residuals.

2. Marvel Money: Kingpin in the MCU

Playing Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, in Marvel’s Daredevil series (Netflix and now Disney+), D’Onofrio redefined the modern villain. It also opened up new income channels.

For the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again reboot (Disney+), D’Onofrio is reportedly earning $200,000 per episode. Given the season is expected to run for 18 episodes, that’s $3.6 million total.
However, for Marvel’s Echo series, his reported per-episode pay was just $5,000, likely due to a short cameo or brief screen time.

Estimated Marvel income to date: $4M–$5M (including all series appearances and upcoming roles)

While not quite “Avengers-level” salaries, these Marvel projects have significantly boosted his visibility, fan base, and residuals from merchandise and licensing.

3. Film Roles: Supporting but Significant

D’Onofrio’s movie portfolio spans from Full Metal Jacket to Men in Black, The Magnificent Seven, The Cell, and The Judge. Though rarely a box-office lead, his roles are memorable and critically praised.

His films have grossed over $3.26 billion worldwide in total box office earnings.
While actors of his caliber may earn $250,000–$750,000 per supporting role, specific numbers are rarely disclosed.

Some examples:

Men in Black (1997): As the bug-filled villain Edgar, his performance was unforgettable. Though the budget favored leads like Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, D’Onofrio likely earned mid-six figures for his breakout role.
The Break-Up (2006) with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, and The Judge (2014) alongside Robert Downey Jr. — both had strong box office runs, further solidifying his studio value.

Estimated career film earnings: $8M–$12M total from supporting roles across 40+ movies.

4. Voice Acting and Video Games

D’Onofrio has dipped into voice acting — a high-return, low-effort income stream — lending his voice to:

LEGO Jurassic World (2015) as Vic Hoskins
Dishonored 2 (2016) as Luca Abele

These projects come with both upfront pay and royalty-based residuals. Voice actors of his caliber can earn $20K–$75K per title, depending on scope and licensing terms.

Estimated earnings from voice/video game work: $100K–$250K+

5. Behind the Camera: Directing and Producing

D’Onofrio isn’t just a performer — he’s a storyteller.

He directed and co-wrote the western film The Kid (2019), starring Ethan Hawke and Chris Pratt.
He has also produced films like The Whole Wide World (1996), Guy (1997), The Velocity of Gary (1998), and Steal This Movie! (2000).
These projects, though more indie in nature, contributed to his creative portfolio and passive earnings from streaming and licensing deals.

Estimated earnings from producing/directing: $500K–$1M over time

6. Residuals, Royalties & Syndication

With over four decades in the business, D’Onofrio benefits from:

SAG-AFTRA residuals from TV reruns (Law & Order airs globally on syndication).
Streaming residuals from Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and more.
Merchandise royalties — particularly from Marvel projects.

For major series like Criminal Intent, actors can earn 5-10% of their per-episode rate annually through syndication, depending on contracts.

Estimated residual income per year: $500K–$1M (cumulative over all platforms)

7. Other Ventures & Stage Work

Though not as public as his screen work, D’Onofrio:

Has appeared in numerous off-Broadway productions, earning critical acclaim.
Occasionally lectures or teaches acting, though more for passion than profit.
Has released spoken word and musical projects, including the experimental album Slim Bone Head Volt (with Dana Lyn).

Earnings here: Modest, but they reflect his artistic depth.
