What is Jason Momoa’s net worth in 2026?

Celebrity Net Worth puts Jason Momoa’s net worth at $50 million. The figure is an estimate. Momoa has not shared details of his finances, and Forbes has not published its own number for him.

His wealth has risen sharply since the early 2010s, when he was mainly known for television. The two Aquaman films raised his pay, and his move into writing and producing has given him a share in the profits of his own projects.

How Jason Momoa made his money

Momoa started as a model before landing the role of Jason Ioane on Baywatch Hawaii in 1999. He then spent four seasons as Ronon Dex on Stargate Atlantis and played Khal Drogo in the first season of HBO’s Game of Thrones in 2011.

His big break in film came as Aquaman in the DC films, starting with a brief appearance in Batman v Superman in 2016 and continuing with Justice League. The solo Aquaman film in 2018 grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, the highest total for a DC film at the time.

Since then he has worked across franchises, including Dune, Fast X and A Minecraft Movie. He has also built a parallel career behind the camera through his production company, On the Roam.

In Denis Villeneuve’s Dune (2021) he played the swordmaster Duncan Idaho, and in Fast X (2023) he played the villain Dante Reyes. Both roles added to his profile in large studio films beyond DC, at a time when the DC film universe was being restarted under new leadership.

Salary and earnings

Momoa’s pay grew with the Aquaman franchise. Celebrity Net Worth reports he received a $3 million base salary for Aquaman in 2018, with bonuses lifting his total to around $7 million. After renegotiating, he earned $15 million for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in 2023.

A Minecraft Movie, released in April 2025, was the biggest hit of his career outside the DC films. He starred alongside Jack Black and was also a producer. A sequel is set for cinemas in 2027, with filming due to begin in 2026.

He has also earned money from advertising. He appeared in a Rocket Mortgage commercial during the 2020 Super Bowl.

Recent projects: 2025 and 2026

Chief of War, which premiered on Apple TV+ in August 2025, is his most personal project. He co-created and co-wrote the series about the unification of Hawaii, starred as the warrior Ka’iana and directed the season finale.

In 2026 he wrote the story for The Wrecking Crew, an action comedy with Dave Bautista released on Prime Video in January. He played the bounty hunter Lobo in DC Studios’ Supergirl, released on 26 June, and the fighter Blanka in Street Fighter, released in October 2026.

Assets: homes, cars and investments

Momoa and his former wife, Lisa Bonet, owned a house in Los Angeles on about an acre of land, reported to have cost about $3.5 million. He spends much of his time in Hawaii, where he was born, and has said he prefers life outdoors and on the road.

He is a known motorcycle and classic car enthusiast and often shares his vehicles on social media. The value of his vehicle collection has not been made public.

In 2019 he founded Mananalu, a water company created to cut single use plastic. It first sold water in recyclable aluminium bottles. In 2025 it partnered with Boomerang Water to supply refill and reseal systems for reusable bottles, mainly to hotels and resorts in Hawaii.
