Paul Thomas Andersons Net Worth

Here’s a guide to Paul Thomas Anderson’s career so far, and his estimated net worth. Anderson is the son of Edwina Gough and Ernie Anderson, with the latter being a voice actor who also portrayed cult horror host Ghoulardi in the 1960s. By the time PTA was 18 he had helmed mockumentary The Dirk Diggler Story, which revolved around a legendary adult film star. Anderson later made his feature film debut with Hard Eight, a low-budget thriller about a veteran gambler taking a young man under his wings.

Hard Eight starred John C. Reilly, Philip Baker Hall and Gwyneth Paltrow, and while it wasn’t much of a financial success, it received great reviews and got the filmmaker noticed. Paul Thomas Anderson followed it up with arguably his most famous project Boogie Nights. The movie is a reworking of The Dirk Diggler Story and follows the rise and fall of Mark Wahlberg’s Dirk in the adult film business. The film was showered with praise upon release, especially for the performances by Julianne Moore, William H. Macy and Burt Reynolds.

Following the acclaim of Boogie Nights, Paul Thomas Anderson wrote and directed epic drama Magnolia, with another quality ensemble that included many cast members from his previous films and newcomers like Tom Cruise. The movie also famously made heavy use of Aimee Mann’s music, with the video for her song “Save Me” being shot by Anderson and featuring cast from the film. The movie wasn’t a major hit but the director himself considers it one of his best works. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Paul Thomas Anderson is estimated to be worth $70 million.

Paul Thomas Anderson would next direct Adam Sandler in one of his most praised dramatic turns in Punch-Drunk Love, which plays like a dark romantic-comedy. The movie also snagged Anderson the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival. Anderson has also directed Daniel Day-Lewis to two of his most acclaimed turns – which is no mean feat. The first was playing the terse, greedy oilman Daniel Plainview in 2007’s There Will Be Blood – for which Day-Lewis won a Best Actor Oscar and a slew of other awards – and the second was 2017’s Phantom Thread. The latter would also prove to be Daniel Day-Lewis’ final role before retiring from acting.

Paul Thomas Anderson has also directed Joaquin Phoenix to acclaimed turns in drama The Master, which also starred the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, and noir comedy Inherent Vice. While Inherent Vice received mostly positive reviews, its reception was more mixed thanks to a somewhat incomprehensible plot. Anderson’s next movie will be the coming of age drama Soggy Bottom, which will star Philip Seymour Hoffman’s son Cooper Hoffman in the lead role.
