Ethan Hawke Net Worth

Ethan Hawke has a net worth of $60 million dollars.

Along with Training Day, the site notes Hawke’s paydays for Daybreakers ($4 million) and Assault on Precinct 13 ($3 million). Those three films added up to $19 million before taxes and other expenses. Considering Hawke’s successes since that figure has likely climbed closer to $60 million.

When making The Purge, Hawke reportedly settled for a low salary in exchange for a piece of the profits. (He also worked without a trailer or driver to keep costs low.) It was a good gamble, with Hawke reportedly pocketing $5-6 million after the box office returns come back.

Sunny and Daniel met for the first time in Las Vegas when Sunny was the reigning queen of that film industry. Even though Daniel laughs at the mention of ‘love at first sight’ and calls it silly, but that is what happened to him when he first laid his eyes on her. The couple happened to be at the same party with their set of friends. Smitten by her beauty, Daniel approached her, only to be politely declined by Sunny.

However, this did not deter his spirits. Daniel patiently kept sending her flowers and e-mails, asking for a date. Sunny, who had recently lost her mother and had a bitter break-up, took almost two months to finally give it a go and agreed to a date. But since she still wasn’t sure about dating another man, she purposely arrived too late for the date hoping to annoy Weber.
