As of October 2026, Mark Ruffalo has an estimated net worth of $35 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He earned it through more than 30 years of film and television work, including playing Bruce Banner in the Avengers films, an Oscar-nominated run of dramas and the HBO crime series Task.
What is Mark Ruffalo’s net worth in 2026?
Celebrity Net Worth estimates Ruffalo’s fortune at $35 million. The figure takes into account his acting fees, property sales and long career in both studio and independent films.
Ruffalo earns less than some Marvel co-stars because he often works on smaller dramas with lower budgets. He has said in interviews that he chooses roles for the story rather than the pay, and his net worth reflects that mix of big and small projects.

His largest pay cheques have come from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He took over the role of Bruce Banner and the Hulk in The Avengers (2012) and returned in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. He also appeared in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in 2022.
His exact Marvel salaries have never been confirmed. Studio franchise contracts usually include bonuses tied to box office, and Endgame alone grossed more than $2.7 billion worldwide.
Alongside Marvel, he has built a steady income from prestige dramas and television. HBO projects such as I Know This Much Is True (2020) and Task (2025) pay well and carry long-term value through streaming.
Career highlights and awards
Ruffalo’s exact salaries are not published. The table below lists the projects that most shaped his career and earning power.
| Year | Project | Recognition |
|---|---|---|
| 2000 | You Can Count on Me | Breakthrough film role |
| 2010 | The Kids Are All Right | Oscar nomination |
| 2012 | The Avengers | First film as the Hulk |
| 2014 | The Normal Heart | Emmy win as producer |
| 2014 | Foxcatcher | Oscar nomination |
| 2015 | Spotlight | Oscar nomination |
| 2020 | I Know This Much Is True | Emmy and Golden Globe wins |
| 2023 | Poor Things | Fourth Oscar nomination |
Four Academy Award nominations and multiple Emmy wins have kept him in demand for both studio and independent projects.
Directing and theatre
Ruffalo has also worked behind the camera. He made his directing debut with Sympathy for Delicious (2010), which won a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Directing does not pay as much as his acting work, but it has strengthened his standing in independent film.
He started his career on stage and still returns to it. In 2017 he appeared on Broadway in Arthur Miller’s The Price and received a Tony Award nomination for the role. Stage work pays far less than film, but it keeps him active between larger projects.
Recent work: Task and Mickey 17
In 2025 Ruffalo starred in Bong Joon-ho’s science fiction film Mickey 17 alongside Robert Pattinson. Later that year he led the HBO crime drama Task, playing FBI agent Tom Brandis, who investigates a series of home invasions in Pennsylvania.
Task was one of HBO’s most talked-about dramas of 2025 and gave Ruffalo his first lead role in a television series since I Know This Much Is True. Leading an HBO drama usually comes with a producer credit and a higher fee than supporting film roles.
Task is returning for a second season, which will again film in Pennsylvania. As of 2026, no premiere date has been announced, and some reports expect it in 2027. In February 2024 he also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Assets: homes and investments
Ruffalo keeps a lower profile with property than many actors. In 2004 he bought a Hollywood Hills home for $1.65 million and later sold it to actress Zooey Deschanel for the same price. In 2017 he sold a 19th-century townhouse in Brooklyn for $3.125 million.
His family now splits its time between Manhattan and a home in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. He is not known for collecting cars or for large public investments. Much of his spare time and money goes to environmental and political causes.
He co-founded The Solutions Project, a non-profit that promotes renewable energy, and has campaigned against fracking in New York State.
Early life and career
Mark Alan Ruffalo was born on 22 November 1967 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His father was a construction painter and his mother a hairdresser. He grew up with two sisters and a brother, and the family later moved to Virginia Beach and then to San Diego.
He wrestled in high school and moved to Los Angeles to study at the Stella Adler Conservatory. He co-founded the Orpheus Theatre Company and worked as a bartender for almost a decade while auditioning for roles.
His break came with Kenneth Lonergan’s You Can Count on Me in 2000. Later films included Zodiac (2007), Shutter Island (2010) and Now You See Me (2013). Fans of Marvel can also read about his co-star in our Benedict Cumberbatch net worth profile.
Personal life
Ruffalo married actress Sunrise Coigney in 2000. They have three children. In 2001 he was diagnosed with a vestibular schwannoma, a non-cancerous brain tumour. Surgery to remove it left him with partial facial paralysis for a time, from which he recovered.
He has said that his recovery made him more selective about roles and more focused on his family and activism.
In 2008 his brother Scott died after being shot in Beverly Hills. The case has never been solved.
