Tom Cruise is often hailed as one of the greatest movie stars of all time, starring in countless major blockbusters throughout his career.
The icon's back catalogue of legendary films is almost unrivalled, as he’s taken the lead role in movies such as Top Gun, the Mission Impossible series, The Last Samurai, and Jack Reacher.
This list hardly scratches the surface but you’d be reading all day if we listed every household name film that the superstar has appeared in.
Cruise has recently become the centre of public attention with the release of the enormously successful Top Gun: Maverick.

The Top Gun sequel has taken the world by storm, with many critics and viewers alike coining it the best film of all time.
The aviation masterpiece has earned itself a score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 99% audience score.
Maverick is still flying high at the box office, despite it being two months since the film’s release.
So with that said, many are interested to know how much the Hollywood icon is worth after his extraordinary career.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Tom Cruise has an eye-watering net worth of $600 million (£500 million), putting him up there with the richest actors in the world.
However, his extraordinary wealth shouldn’t come as a surprise given the high-grossing movies he’s starred in.
Ever since he was 21 years old, Cruise has been earning the big bucks, beginning with his performance in the comedy-drama Risky Business back in 1983.
The film earned an impressive $64 million on a budget of just $6 million, and also secured Cruise a Golden Globe nomination.
Just three years later, the star landed himself the role of Maverick in Top Gun, this film’s success goes without saying but if you want to know the figures, the movie made $360 million worldwide becoming the highest-grossing film of the year.
Since then Tom Cruise has starred in over 20 movies that have generated over $200 million, the most successful being the aforementioned 2022 favourite Top Gun: Maverick.
The film has become Tom Cruise’s first billion dollar movie, and it isn't slowing down. On the film's ninth weekend of release, Maverick has made an insanely impressive $16.4 million at the international box office, meaning the beloved fighter pilot drama has become the 9th highest grossing movie of all time.
So, with such colossal wealth to his name, what does Tom Cruise spend all his money on?
The actor of course has a multi-million dollar car collection which includes everything from a 1970s Dodge Colt (reportedly the first car he ever bought) to the latest Bugattis and Porsches, however, his most notable is probably his 1949 Buick Roadmaster.
Cruise also lives up to his Top Gun reputation as the star is fittingly an experienced pilot.
The 60-year-old owns a second world war P-51 Mustang aircraft as well as a Gulfstream IV G4 jet, which reportedly costs $20 million, and is equipped with its own jacuzzi and cinema room.
