Everyone knows Denzel Washington through his Oscar-worthy performances and clear-cut acting. The man, the legend and actor, has been active in the film industry for over four decades and counting.

To top it all off, he also directs and produces films which too scoop Awards like nobody’s business. So what’s the secret behind the two-time Academy Award winner’s success? Well, you’re in luck as we are about to explore the Denzel Washington’s net worth; so stick around.

Who is Denzel Washington?

Washington is an ordinary son of former beauty parlor owner Lynne and civil worker Denzel Hayes Washington Sr. He grew up in Harlem and went to Fordham University to study Drama and journalism. Like most of his peers, this decision wasn’t easy to come by and required some intervention through a summer camp he attended.

Nevertheless, he got into acting at the Lincoln Centre Campus and finally took it professionally after moving to New York. He started off doing minor roles in plays at a summer stock theatre which gradually graduated into a film.

Denzel’s first Hollywood performance was in the movie Carbon Copy and television film, Wilma. It was followed by a more robust role in NBC’s St. Elsewhere from 1982 to 1988. At the same time, he got to take center stage on movies like Hard Lessons, Power and a Soldier’s story which became his first Oscar-worthy nomination.

Slowly, he got more screen time and went from supporting cast roles to leading roles. Not only did he play the parts in films like The Equalizer and The Book of Eli, but also produced the entire franchises. Currently, the actor is in his sixties, enjoying his net worth after capturing 39 Awards and 96 Nominations.

Work Highlight.

Some of Denzel’s most famous works are in films like The Magnificent Seven which grossed at $160 million at the Box Office. He won two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor in Glory and Best Actor in The Hurricane.

The accomplished actor also won a Tony Award for the production of his 2010 film, Fences and Best Actor in a Play. MTV Movie & TV Awards also had him win the best performance for the casting job well done in the film Malcolm X.

However, it’s disappointing to hear that from all the nominations, the actor hasn’t won a single Oscar or Grammy yet. Nevertheless, all is not lost, however. Let’s hope his current film, Macbeth, will win him something great. If not, at least he will have something to add on to his net worth.
