Renowned actor Val Kilmer, celebrated for his performances in some of the most significant films of the 1980s and 1990s, has reportedly passed away at the age of 65. Kilmer made his mark in the entertainment industry with his role in Top Gun, and he is also recognized for portraying Jim Morrison in The Doors, Doc Holliday in Tombstone, and Batman in Batman Forever. His filmography includes notable appearances in Heat (1995), The Saint (1997), Willow (1988), and Top Gun: Maverick.

Kilmer's daughter has confirmed that pneumonia was the cause of his death. He had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014.

What was Val Kilmer’s net worth?

A Screen Rant article from September 2023 estimated Val Kilmer's net worth at $25 million. However, estimates from Parade and Celebrity Net Worth suggest that by 2025, his net worth had decreased to approximately $10 million. This wealth is largely attributed to his successful career in film, as well as his endeavors in writing, including a bestselling memoir.

Kilmer received significant acclaim for his portrayal of Iceman in the Top Gun series, which likely contributed to a substantial salary. However, there are conflicting reports regarding his earnings. Screen Rant indicated that he was paid $400,000 for his role in the original 1986 Top Gun. For Top Gun: Maverick, reports vary, with Showbiz Galore stating he earned $400,000, a figure that seems modest compared to other cast members who reportedly received over $1 million.

Conversely, Screen Rant noted that some sources claimed Kilmer earned $2 million for reprising his role as Iceman. Given that his return was limited to a brief cameo, which he was enthusiastic about, it is plausible that he accepted a lower salary.

In addition to his film and television work, Kilmer authored the memoir 'I’m Your Huckleberry: A Memoir,' which achieved New York Times bestseller status and likely contributed to his financial standing. Parade also reported that he sold the majority of his 5,300-acre ranch for $18.5 million, retaining only 14 acres for personal use.
