What is Nicolas Cage's net worth and salary?
Nicolas Cage is an American actor who has a net worth of $25 million. Nicolas Cage's net worth at one time much higher, easily over $100 million, after earning at least $200 million from movie salaries alone. Nick's profligate spending is somewhat infamous today. Despite being one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood, Nicolas Cage got himself into some serious financial straits resulting from both his failure to pay his taxes and some bad real estate investments that left Cage in a position where he had to sell not only his Ferrari Enzo but other prized possessions as well. These possessions most famously included his copy of Action Comics #1 (one of the most valuable comic books in existence), which he sold at auction for a record-breaking $2.16 million. We detail his years-long impressively wild spending spree later in this article.

Early Life
Nicolas Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola on January 7, 1964 in Long Beach, California. His father August Coppola was a professor of literature and his mother Joy Vogelsang was a dancer and choreographer. August passed away from a heart attack in 2009. Cage has two brothers and attended Beverly Hills High School and UCLA's School of Theatre. Through his father, Cage is the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola and actress Talia Shire, and the cousin of directors Sofia Coppola and Roman Coppola, and actor Jason Schwartzman. To avoid the appearance of nepotism, Cage changed his last name, which was inspired by the Marvel Comics superhero Luke Cage.

Acting Career
Cage landed his first film role in 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and from that time worked steadily throughout the '80s and early nineties in such popular films as "Valley Girl", "Raising Arizona", "Peggy Sue Got Married", "Honeymoon in Vegas", "Face/Off", "Con Air", "Gone in Sixty Seconds", "The Rock", and "The Family Man"; just to name a few of his more than 70 film credits to date. His second-highest-grossing film to date was National Treasure in 2004. Despite his success in many of these big-budget action films, most of his lower-profile movies have been box office letdowns compared to his action/adventure mainstream flicks, which tend to be enormous successes. His 2006 remake of Wicker Man failed to make back its $40 million budget and opened to overwhelmingly negative reviews.
