Kevin Costner is currently the highest-paid actor on television, thanks to his role in the hit series “Yellowstone.” According to Variety, Costner earns a staggering $1.3 million per episode of the show. This is just the latest success in Costner’s already impressive career, which spans over four decades.
Costner first made a name for himself in the 1980s with roles in movies like “Silverado,” “The Untouchables,” “Bull Durham,” and “Field of Dreams.” In 1991, he received critical acclaim for his directorial debut, “Dances with Wolves,” which won multiple Academy Awards. The success of this film catapulted Costner into the ranks of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors, earning him a whopping $50 million.
Over the years, Costner has continued to star in box-office hits such as “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” “JFK,” and “The Bodyguard.” More recently, he has appeared in films like “Hidden Figures,” “Molly’s Game,” and “Man of Steel.” However, it is his role in “Yellowstone” that has truly solidified his status as a top earner in the industry. Costner’s portrayal of John Dutton on the Paramount Network series has earned him a salary of $1.3 million per episode, making him the highest-paid actor on television.
In addition to his acting career, Costner is also a talented musician. He has been recording and performing with his band, Kevin Costner & Modern West, for over 15 years. The band has released five studio albums and is available for bookings at various events.
Costner is not only successful in the entertainment industry but has also made smart investments with his earnings. In the 1990s, he developed an oil and water separation technology that proved invaluable during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Costner’s company, Costner in Nevada Corporation, landed a lucrative $52 million contract with BP for the use of his oil-water separators.
The actor has also ventured into the business world, opening the Midnight Star Casino and Restaurant in South Dakota. While the venue eventually closed, Costner continues to explore opportunities for his investments. He has recently invested in Autio, an audio entertainment travel app, and has financially backed some of the movies he has starred in, including “The Postman” and “Black or White.”
With his success comes an impressive property portfolio. Costner owns a $145 million home in Santa Barbara and has a ranch in Colorado, which he rents out. The ranch, named the Dunbar Ranch after Costner’s character in “Dances with Wolves,” spans 165 acres and features luxurious amenities like a baseball field, private ice rink, and horseback riding facilities.
Known for his talent, versatility, and business acumen, Kevin Costner has established himself not only as one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood but also as a savvy investor and entrepreneur. His contributions to the entertainment industry and beyond continue to impact and inspire.
