What Is Shia LaBeouf’s Net Worth?
s_bukley / Depositphotos.comShia LaBeouf’s net worth is estimated to be $25 million. The American actor, director, and voice-over actor rose to fame at an early age, starring in the Disney Channel show “Even Stevens.” He followed up that role in the cult favorite “Holes” before finding mainstream success by kicking off the massively successful “Transformers” franchise.
Much of Shia LaBeouf’s net worth comes from the three Transformers movies he’s starred in, along with other smaller leading roles in one-off movies.
Here’s how Shia LaBeauf’s net worth was earned.
How Much Did Shia LaBeouf Earn From The Transformer Movies?

For his work in the film, LaBeouf’s salary was $750,000.
Thanks to the success of the first movie, his salary was quickly increased for his second and third outings, helping LaBeouf’s net worth increase by more than $20 million in total.
- For the original 2007 movie “Transformers,” he earned $750,000.
- For the second movie, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” his salary was $5 million.
- For the third installment, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” he received $15 million.
Shia LaBeouf’s net worth could have climbed by another $18 million had his request for that salary been granted. Instead, Michael Bay moved in a different direction, leaving the actor behind.
In comparison, Megan Fox’s net worth is $8 million. Fox famously left the “Transformer” trilogy before its completion, forfeiting what could have been millions of dollars in additional earnings.
How Much Does Shia LaBeouf Earn Per Acting Role?

The 2006 movie “Bobby” was produced on a budget of $14 million, and the actor received $400,000 for his role in the movie. Bobby ended up earning a lackluster $20 million globally.
LaBeouf followed up his role in “Bobby” the following year by starring in the thriller “Disturbia. The film had a budget of $20 million, and the actor was again estimated to have earned $400,000 for his role. The movie was a surprise hit, bringing in $118.1 million at the global box office.
LaBeouf would go on to earn an additional $400,000 for Surf’s Up.” In 2010, following the success of his “Transformers” role, the actor earned $8 million for his role in “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.”
How Much Did Shia LaBeaouf’s Net Worth Increase From ‘Even Stevens?’
tanka_v / Depositphotos.comWhile the actor has never personally revealed his earnings from Disney’s “Even Stevens,” TheThings.com notes that his co-star, Christy Carlson Romano, claimed to earn between $10,000 and $13,000 per episode.
It’s probably safe to assume that LaBeouf earned at least the same salary. If we assume a conservative $10,000 base pay, the 66 episodes of the show likely earned the actor at least $660,000 and potentially up to $1 million.
He’s Earning An Estimated $2 Million Per Year
Shia LaBeouf’s net worth continues to increase on an annual basis. Industry estimates put his annual earnings at around $2 million. After taxes, management fees, and other expenses, his acting, directing, and other roles are likely earning around $1 million towards his overall fortune.
The actor’s interests tend to vary; at times, he’s working on films or TV appearances, while other times, he’s writing books, short films, or diving into performance art.
