As one of Hollywood’s household names, Kate Winslet has constructed an impressive career and personal fortune since her Heavenly Creatures days playing a teenager. Her acting in Titanic brought her instant international fame as she cashed in for $2 million. In comparison, co-star Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly earned $2.5 million and a backend deal worth about $40 million.
Apart from Titanic, Winslet was part of critically acclaimed productions like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Revolutionary Road, Sense and Sensibility, and Lee. Her salaries for these projects are not reported; however, in a 2009 report by The Hollywood Reporter, her earnings for the time peak she had at filmmaking were around $4 million per project.
Winning on television, Winslet gives perhaps her best performance to date in HBO’s Mare of Easttown. She was reportedly paid between $600,000 and $750,000 per episode for this series. Her work here would be worth a similar paycheck for HBO’s The Regime.
Winslet’s success goes beyond acting as she has also invested heavily in real estate. She owns a $4.6 million 17th-century house in West Wittering, England, and once rented out a penthouse in New York City for $30,000 a month before selling it for $5.69 million. Winslet also previously co-owned a London townhouse with ex-husband Sam Mendes, which they sold for $4.1 million.
Celebrity Net Worth estimated that overall, Winslet’s fortunes amount to $65 million, having worked for the last several decades in well-critiqued film and prestige television projects besides smart real estate investments.
Her longtime friendship with fellow Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio still captures the fancy of many viewers, considering Winslet always encourages the friend to settle down into family life.
