Here's How Much John Travolta Is Really Worth
John Travolta is undoubtedly one of Hollywood's most famous faces. The movie star was born in 1954, and was the youngest of six children, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In 1971, Travolta dropped out of high school at the age of 17 and moved to New York City after scoring himself a role on Broadway in the show Over Here! before relocating to Los Angeles to further his career as an actor.
During the 1970's Travolta quickly became a household name and starred in a number of films that made a lot of money at the box office and remain classics to this day: Saturday Night Fever, Grease, and Carrie. His role as Anthony Manero in 1977's Saturday Night Fever helped the then 24-year-old become one of the youngest actors to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
In the 1980s, Travolta's career took a hit. Two of his movies, Two of a Kind and Perfect, bombed critically and commercially and tarnished his then-stellar image. A Saturday Night Fever sequel, Staying Alive, may have been a commercial success but was received poorly by critics; Roger Ebert called the film "a huge disappointment" and rated it one star. However, 1989's Look Who's Talking helped Travolta stage a comeback. The romantic comedy grossed $297 million at the box office and led to more iconic roles in Pulp Fiction (which earned him a second Oscar nomination), A Civil Action, Hairspray, Face/Off, and Get Shorty.
With a career spanning over five decades, how much is Travolta really worth?
