With an Oscar, a top-selling band and two blockbuster movie franchises under his belt, it’s understandable why fans want to know about Jared Leto‘s net worth and if he makes more from his music or movie career.
Leto—whose full name is Jared Joseph Leto—was born on December 26, 1971 in Bossier City, Louisiana. He dropped out of high chool in 10th grade but returned to finish his education at the private Emerson Preparatory School in Washington, D.C. After graduation, he enrolled at the University of Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before he transferred to the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He moved to Los Angeles in 1992 to pursue a career as a director and actor. His big break came in 1994 when he was cast alongside Clare Danes in ABC’s My So-Called Life. His on-screen career continued with movies like Cool and Crazy, How to Make an American Quilt and The Last of the High Kings. In 1998, Leto started a band named Thirty Seconds to Mars with his brother, Shannon Leto. The band went on to release five albums and sell more than 15 million albums worldwide.
While Leto was in Thirty Seconds to Mars, his movie career also exploded. He went on to star in films like Fight Club, Girl, Interrupted, American Psycho, Requiem for a Dream and Panic Room before his Oscar-winning performance in 2013’s Dallas Buyers Club. In 2016, Leto made his supervillain debut as the Joker in the DC Extended Universe’s Suicide Squad. He reprised his role in 2021’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Leto’s supervillain career continued in 2022 when he played Morbius, the Living Vampire, in Marvel’s Morbius.

For the two hours, you might spend watching Jared Leto sulk around a Sony/Marvel B-side that somehow reportedly can’t muster the artistic integrity of the “Venom” movies, you could jump into one of the best international films released in American cinemas over the last few years. Part Sergio Leone, part David Lean, part Martin Campbell, part Michael Bay, part Quentin Tarantino, all Tollywood historical action epic extravaganza, “RRR” is more than enough proof that it’s high time stateside audiences prepare themselves for the rise of a globalized cinema, one that is, quite frankly, probably schooling our asses in the fine art of studio filmmaking.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterAn animated movie about a blue, anthropomorphic speed demon is expected to outrace a Michael Bay action-thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and a Marvel comic book adaptation at the box office this weekend. Welcome to the chaotic state of moviegoing in 2022.Indeed, Paramount’s family friendly sequel “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” looks to sell more tickets in North American movie theaters than Universal’s starry high-speed heist film “Ambulance” and Sony’s antihero adventure “Morbius,” featuring Jared Leto.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter“Morbius,” the latest comic book adventure from Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters, opened in first place at the domestic box office, though ticket sales were considerably softer than recent superhero blockbusters.Dinged by comically terrible reviews, “Morbius” sunk its teeth into $39.1 million from 4,268 North American theaters in its first weekend of release.

There’s nothing like on-screen text over a crystal-clear establishing shot to tell you exactly how stupid a filmmaker thinks their audience is. Sometimes it’s the big, bold “PARIS, FRANCE” chyron over an aerial shot of the Eiffel Tower; sometimes we get a widescreen image of the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Capital building with a helpful “WASHINGTON, D.C.” In “Morbius,” our title character is explaining to his best friend that an experimental procedure has to be performed in international waters, after which director Daniel Espinoza cuts to a giant shipping boat, in the middle of the ocean, with the words “INTERNATIONAL WATERS, EASTERN SEABOARD” plastered on the bottom of the screen.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterAre superheroes impenetrable at the box office? Can any ol’ comic book character make a killing on the big screen?Sony’s antihero adventure “Morbius,” starring Jared Leto as Spider-Man’s eventual foe, will attempt to answer those questions when the vampire-infused horror movie opens in 3,600 North American theaters over the weekend.“Morbius” is estimated to sink its teeth into $40 million to $50 million in its first three days of release, according to independent tracking services.
