Many regard him as a modern king of fantasy and horror, and Guillermo del Toro has rightfully earned that title. He’s produced some of the best and scariest movies and shows to date. From Academy Award-winning movies like Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, to the new Netflix anthology series Cabinet of Curiosities, the Mexican director/producer is highly in demand.

Being high in demand in Hollywood comes with its perks, one being the substantially large paychecks that the producer/director gets to take home. Ever wondered how much Guillermo del Toro is actually worth? Find out his net worth below!

According to Celebrity Net Worth,  the iconic 58-year-old director’s net worth stands currently at an impressive $40 million. The majority of his vast wealth comes from his long and successful career in the film and entertainment industry. The director/producer is just as comfortable producing high-budget mega movies as well as low-budget flicks, so his pockets continue getting deeper.

The filmmaker made his first feature-length movie at the age of 21. As well as making films, Guillermo del Toro appears to be quite fond of collecting properties and has a huge real estate portfolio which is estimated to be worth around $10 million. It’s previously been reported that he has two houses “devoted entirely to his collection of books, poster artwork, and other items connected to his artistic exploits.”

The director recently released Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix, so if you’ve yet to see the new horror series, you should watch the episodes ASAP! But as for what’s next? According to IMDb, Guillermo del Toro has two confirmed projects on the horizon.

The director is bringing Disney’s Haunted Mansion to fans in 2023, as well as Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 2. According to his IMDb pro account, he’s attached to another 16 projects, although these do not have a confirmed release date or many details yet.
