Keanu Reeves and his Famous Movie Revenue 

Reeves has charmed viewers for more than 30 years in a variety of genres, including screwball comedies, dramas, rom-coms, and horrifying action stuff, all the while remaining exceedingly humble and devoid of any sense of entitlement.

In 2020, he said in an interview with Parade, "I'm really pleased and grateful to be here when I wake up, and I'm really happy and glad that I have the opportunity to go to sleep after a day of life." His work is motivated by that inborn sense of delight rather than by a salary or the need to fit in with the industry.

I don't have a historical or literary persona in my back pocket, he said. "For me, it's simply about getting to keep telling tales that people like and working with fantastic artists. Even when I was young, I constantly believed that I could accomplish new things. I'm so appreciative of that. I have a lot of luck. Happy to be here."

And we appreciate his presence just as much as, let's be honest, his money account does. Learn how Keanu Reeves made his money from The Matrix, John Wick, and other projects to discover his net worth.

?How did Keanu Reeves become well-known
Reeves previously admitted to Parade that his road to success was rather straightforward.

I started playing athletics, but I also developed a love for the performing arts and even participated in plays while I was in elementary school. When I was 15 years old, I kind of said I wanted to be an actor," he remembered. I attended numerous different high schools while participating in acting and hockey. As a goalie for the school hockey team in my 12th grade year, I recall performing in The Crucible as John Proctor and having the hockey team sit in the front two of rows. Thanks, guys! Through my role as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, I was able to secure an agent, and by the time I was 18, I was essentially paying for my life.

While appearing in theatre and theatrical shows, Reeves worked as a correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Going Terrific programmed when he was 20 years old. He co-starred with Drew Barrymore in the television film Babes in Toyland within two years, and by 1988, he had become a teen cinema heartthrob. His first leading performance in a major movie picture, 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, which was well received by both audiences and critics, was his big break.

"Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" stars Keanu Reeves as Ted and Alex Winter as Bill. The 1989 film established Keanu Reeves as a Hollywood star and made a big dent in his rising net worth.

? Did Keanu Reeves give the money from The Matrix

Although Reeves is a gentleman and an incredibly good person, the stories of his Matrix generosity are rather exaggerated. Reeves didn't give the cast of the franchise $70 million (or $80 million, $100 million, or any other big number) from his back-end deal. In order to guarantee that the cast and all other parties involved would continue working on the last two films in the trilogy, Reeves reportedly spent some of his backside into the property.
