Cruise retains his position as one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, according to Cosmopolitan.

Cruise is known to invest in high-end luxury properties. In 2021, he sold his 320-acre ranch in Telluride, Colorado for an estimated $39.5 million. Forbes reports that the Last Samurai actor owns $59 million worth of space around the ranch which he purchased in 2014.
This exclusive estate is the same place where the famous couch-jumping interview took place between him and Oprah in 2005. The media mogul was so impressed with Cruise’s ranch and the property’s panoramic location that she bought her own home nearby in 2016. Cruise also owns homes in Beverly Hills and Clearwater, Florida. Cruise also owns a multi-million dollar car collection that includes rare automobiles like Saleen Mustang S281, Chevrolet Corvette ’58, Buick Roadmaster ’49, and Bugatti Veyron.
