Pierce Brosnan Net Worth: James Bond Plays Milla Jovovich Assassin While 007 Bank Account Through The Roof!

Playing James Bond is one of the most profitable gigs in the film industry, and Pierce Brosnan's net worth can attest to that, after the now 62 year-old Irish actor continues his career more than a decade after his last outing as MI6 007 spy in "Die Another Day."

Considering how much Daniel Craig's net worth has grown since he took the role in 2006 for the James Bond reboot in "Casino Royale," there's little surprise in seeing how high Pierce Brosnan's net worth is, as the actor takes on a more relaxed approach to making movies since quitting the very successful franchise.

So far, there have been six actors who have played Commander Bond: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Brosnan and now Craig, with Idris Elba supposedly targeted as the next person to play the character; in any case, Pierce Brosnan's net worth shows that the iconic spy made him a very rich man.

With a career spanning five decades, it's Connery who has gained the most money, with a fortune well over the hundreds of millions of dollars; however, Pierce Brosnan's net worth, along with that of the other most popular actors that have played the role in the past, shows that it's been very profitable for the rest!

Following his tenure as Bond, Pierce Brosnan's net worth has continued to come, for the most part, from his roles in action movies, though he's been a part of a number of comedies as well, having a knack for it - including the Edgar Wright-Simon Pegg 2013 film "The World's End."

Now, according to The Daily Herald, Brosnan's taking a role less familiar in his most recent film: the villain. In his new film "Survivor" he plays an assassin hired to exterminate a spy played by Milla Jovovich, another big action star.

In any case, Celebrity Net Worth reports that currently Pierce Brosnan's net worth stands at $90 million!
