Scott Eastwood’s net worth is estimated at $12 million. He is an American actor noted for his role in many blockbuster films. He is also famous for being the son of legendary American actor and filmmaker Clint Eastwood.
Having a legendary actor as his father, it is not uncommon for many to think that fame came naturally, but that’s far from the truth, as Clint is one of those dads who make their kids work to earn a name for themselves. Actually, he severally rejected Scott in many of his movies, including American Sniper (2014). This means that the massive figure on Scott Eastwood’s net worth is all his hard work.
In addition, Scott overlooked his famous last name, “Eastwood”, and rather went by his mum’s, “Reeves” – all in the bid to escape any sort of nepotism that may come with the former. It was only after finding his feet in Hollywood that Scott started going by Eastwood. His independent hard work eventually paid off, with the actor landing spots on several box office successes.
What is Scott Eastwood’s Net Worth?
Scott Eastwood’s net worth stands at an estimated sum of $12 million. Scott earns most of his money through his acting career, modeling, and endorsement deals.
Although we will not deny the fact that Scott Eastwood tapped his passion for acting from his talented actor father, he, however, did not naturally inherit his career success from Clint Eastwood, neither did he acquire his wealth.
Despite having a prodigious net worth of over $350 million as of 2019, Scott said his father never gave him a cent! Clint Eastwood rather made his son work for every dine and thing he has to his name.
For his own movies, Clint ensures that Scott tests for roles just like everyone else, most of which he never gets. At some point, Scott told TV presenter, Conan O’Brien in an interview, that he doesn’t think his father likes having him in his films. Let’s now get down to knowing how Scott Eastwood independently worked his way up the ladder of success.

After several years of small roles, Scott eventually landed a lead in 2010. That was as Tom on the psychological thriller, Enter Nowhere, released in 2011. The role came about a year after he first went by Scott Eastwood on the cast of Shannon’s Rainbow (2009). During his years of struggles, Scott did various sorts of menial jobs, including working in bars, parks and construction sites to make ends meet. He also considered switching to firefighting if acting eventually fails to work out for him.

The movie also did well on box office, fetching over $47 million. Scott followed up with another major role in the 2014 box office hit, Fury which grossed a massive $211.8 million.
