Here's How Much Jean-Claude Van Damme Is Actually Worth

Surprisingly, it appears that Jean-Claude Van Damme is still practicing his splits atop a very respectable mound of cash. In fact, celebrity net worth sites such as the Richest, Net Worth Reporter and, well, Celebrity Net Worth all estimate his estate at somewhere around the $30 million range. 

When you think about it, this does make sense. Van Damme has been making movies since the 1980s, and has over 70 acting credits to his name. What's more, while his movies rarely top box offices, they also cost significantly less to make than the ones that do. As a result, his profitability as an actor is off the charts. In fact, the New York Post reports that when analysts studied box office data between 1980 and 2017 to see which established leading actor delivered the most bang for a buck, Van Damme averaged a whopping $4.20 at the box office per every dollar spent on the movie. This extremely respectable return of investment placed him second on the list after Emilio Estevez ($6.70 per every spent dollar), and allows him to easily roundhouse kick blockbuster-making A-listers such as Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp to oblivion.
