Ryan Gosling Net Worth $30 Million
Ryan Gosling began acting from a very young age. Born on 12 November, 1980 in the city of London in Ontario, Canada, Gosling has been quoted attributing his decision to become an actor to seeing the 1945 action film “Dick Tracy” as a child. Between his parents’ divorce and being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Gosling had a difficult childhood, bullied at school and facing trouble fitting in with other children – and performing was the one way he could get away from all of that. Thus, it was not surprising that Gosling was eager to act, and in 1993, he managed to land his first acting job at the early age of twelve – as one of the “mouseketeers” in Disney Channel’s “Mickey Mouse Club”, where he appeared alongside such future stars as Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Though the show was cancelled after two years, Gosling would go on to a career as a professional child actor in various television series, such as “Goosebumps” and “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” Gosling’s early fame certainly did a lot to set him up for his later career, and gave his net worth a considerable boost.
At the age of seventeen, Ryan Gosling finally quit school to focus on acting. In 1998, the eighteen year old Gosling moved to Los Angeles to feature as the lead actor in the adventure series “Young Hercules” – but he soon decided to move on from television. Gosling’s goal was to appear on the big screen, and he would go on to star in the 2001 drama film “The Believer”. Gosling received critical acclaim for his acting, making it clear he had found his ticket into the film industry. Over the next couple of years, Gosling would appear alongside Sandra Bullock in the psychological thriller “Murder by Numbers” – and would finally break through as a world-famous star after his 2004 success in Nick Cassavetes’ romantic drama “The Notebook”. Since then, Gosling’s net worth has continued to grow at a startling pace as he appeared in various successful productions such as the marital drama “Blue Valentine” together with Michelle Williams and the 2011 romantic comedy “Crazy, Stupid, Love” alongside Steve Carell and Emma Stone.
How rich is Ryan Gosling? Currently, Gosling’s net worth is believe to be well in excess of $30 million, with some sources claiming $36 million, and other estimates going as high as $50 million. Much of this is due to Gosling’s long and successful career as one of the world’s most famous actors. Another contribution to Gosling’s net worth is his recent debut in film direction with the 2014 neo-noir film “Lost River”.
Today, Ryan Gosling lives in New York. Gosling is a founding member of the indie rock band “Dead Man’s Bones”. He also remains actively involved with various charities – including PETA and Invisible Children Inc.
