Al Pacino's net worth is estimated at around $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth -- a fraction of the more than $50 million he says he once had, which he lost through overspending and a fraudulent accountant who was later convicted of fraud and served prison time.

Pacino won the Academy Award for Best Actor for Scent of a Woman (1992) after eight prior nominations, and remains active in film into his 80s, including becoming a father for the fourth time in 2023 at age 83.
