Dev Patel’s net worth: The films and fortune of the Monkey Man star
Dev Patel is a famous British actor who has established himself as one of the finest performers of the current generation through his inspirational roles that resonate with the subalterns. His success on the screen has certainly helped Dev Patel build a respectable net worth, which is likely to increase in the ensuing years.
Though he is now a name that is known worldwide, Patel is still particularly famous for his debut film — Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Set in India, the film shows how and why a young boy from the city’s slums becomes a contestant on the Indian version of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? while facing impossible odds.
Patel has come a long way since. He has turned director with Monkey Man (2024) — a film which, somewhat like Slumdog Millionaire, is set in India and revolves around a protagonist from the underprivileged section of society.
Monkey Man is essentially an action thriller where the protagonist takes on powerful, corrupt leaders. Not only has Patel helmed the project, but he has also essayed the lead role of Kid and is its writer. The screenplay of the film is also by Patel. Sharlto Copley, Pitobash, Sikandar Kher, Makarand Deshpande and Sobhita Dhulipala are among the other cast members.
What is the net worth of Dev Patel?
According to celebrity wealth tracker Celebrity Net Worth, Dev Patel has a fortune of USD 10 million. Much of this apparently comes from the salary and other earnings from the films he has done over the years.
His movies have been quite popular, mostly with critics and some at the box office. Of course, Slumdog Millionaire is without a doubt his most famous work, as far as box office revenue goes. Made on a budget of just USD 15 million, the film grossed over USD 383 million worldwide.
