Here's How Much Philip Seymour Hoffman Was Worth When He Died
There's no Doubt (we had to) that Philip Seymour Hoffman was an incredible actor. As far as character actors of the 21st century go, Hoffman's résumé and undeniable onscreen talent is hard to beat. In fact, he was The Master! The blonde-haired and bespectacled powerhouse had many notable roles to his name. He won the Oscar for Best Actor for portraying the titular author Capote in 2006 and would be nominated three more times for supporting roles. Truly; Hoffman's supporting parts added depth to their films that you just can't deny. He was Oscar-nominated for his turn as the complicated Lester Dodd across from Joaquin Phoenix in 2012's The Master, made us laugh as music expert Lester Bangs in 2000's Almost Famous, and even stole his scenes as assistant Brandt in The Big Lebowski (insert that iconic laugh here). With more than 50 film credits, Hoffman truly shone on screen. Sadly, off screen, there was a darkness.
Hoffman began abusing drugs and alcohol at a young age, according to Today, landing in rehab when he was 22 years old. Two decades of sobriety later, things were looking good when the actor became an A-lister and settled down with costume designer Mimi O'Donnell, having three children. Sadly, he relapsed, unbeknownst to the public. In 2014, he "died of acute mixed drug intoxication... at the age of 46," per ABC News.
Philip Seymour Hoffman will always be a legend. Here is his net worth when he died.
Philip Seymour Hoffman's net worth was impressive
So what was Philip Seymour Hoffman's net worth when he died? The lauded actor was worth an impressive $25 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.
Though the star may forever be known for his stirring roles in dramas, Hoffman was not afraid to go the blockbuster route too. He appeared in Mission: Impossible III opposite Tom Cruise in 2006, which grossed $398 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo. He also appeared the first two installments of The Hunger Games, which both grossed more than a massive $650 million.
Real estate-wise, in 2008, Hoffman bought a condo at 68 Jane St. in Manhattan for $4.28 million, per The Real Deal, "where he lived with former wife Mimi O'Donnell and their children." According to Variety, the stunning "lofty" unit offered three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a living room that boasted, "one of the largest single spaces in the West Village." Sheesh!
In 2002, Hoffman also bought a penthouse at 1 Sheridan Square in Manhattan, which, per The Real Deal, later "sold for $2.57 million." It included "two bedrooms, a working fireplace and a massive roof terrace." According to The New York Post, neither of these impressive spaces are the apartment where the actor died. That unit was listed to rent for $10,250 a month in 2016.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hoffman "left his roughly $25 million fortune to Mimi O'Donnell, trusting her to distribute money to their children."
