Joe Pesci's Net Worth Is Funny HOW? (2024)

The Irishman is making headlines for its great performances, incredible score, and creative retelling of one of the most mysterious disappearances in U.S. history. And, of course, the Netflix movie is also creating a lot of chatter because it's the film that finally brought Joe Pesci out of retirement.

Even though Pesci reportedly had to be asked 40 times (!) to join the film, his scenes in The Irishman make it seem like he's never left the big screen. Fans are now curious about what Pesci has been up to since his last voice role in 2015—they're also wondering about just how much money he has in the bank. Here's what we know about Pesci's net worth.

Joe Pesci's net worth is $50 million.

Pesci made a name for himself in movies like Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Home Alone, and My Cousin Vinny, but many people don't know that Pesci actually got his start as a child actor. He started starring in plays in New York at 5, and when he was 10, he made appearances on a television variety show called Startime Kids.

He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1981 for Raging Bull, and he ended up winning the award in 1991 for his role as the violent and hot-tempered mobster Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas.

The New Jersey native's most profitable role is his turn as burglar Harry Lyme in 1990's Home Alone, as the movie grossed nearly half a billion dollars worldwide. Pesci reprised the role in 1992's Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. He later announced that he was retiring from acting in 1999, although he's been in four movies since then, including The Good Shepherd and The Irishman.

Music is another one of Pesci's talents, and before he became an actor he released an album called Little Joe Sure Can Sing!, where he sang covers of contemporary hits. Growing up, Pesci was friends with The Four Seasons' Tommy DeVito and Frankie Valli, and its rumored that Pesci is the one that connected the band with singer and songwriter Bob Gaudio. Actor Joseph Russo portrayed Pesci in the Jersey Boys movie.

Pesci's second album, Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You, was released in 1998, and the album's name is a nod to his character from My Cousin Vinny. Still Singing, his latest album, was released in 2019, and it includes a song that features Maroon 5’s Adam Levine.
