Andrew Garfield’s career moves between superhero films, small-scale dramas, television and the stage. Celebrity Net Worth estimates his wealth at $25 million on a page updated September 30, 2026. That is an outside estimate, not a disclosed personal balance sheet. The more visible part of his story is how an actor trained in London became Peter Parker, a Broadway Tony winner and the screen version of composer Jonathan Larson.
What is Andrew Garfield’s net worth?
The $25 million figure is useful as a published estimate with a named source and date. It should not be read as cash in a bank account, a salary for one film or money earned during 2026. Garfield’s public career can be documented much more closely than his private assets, liabilities and retained income.
His work includes the two Amazing Spider-Man films, The Social Network, Hacksaw Ridge, Silence, tick, tick…BOOM! and stage productions. Those credits explain why he is a familiar leading actor. They do not independently prove a particular wealth total. A film’s ticket sales belong to the film’s business, not automatically to its star, and an award is a career achievement rather than a financial disclosure.
Background: Los Angeles, Surrey and drama school
According to BFI Screenonline’s biography, Garfield was born in Los Angeles on August 20, 1983, to an American father and an English mother. His family moved to Epsom, Surrey, when he was three. He became interested in acting as a teenager and graduated from London’s Central School of Speech and Drama in 2004.
The stage came before international film fame. The BFI records early work in Kes at Manchester’s Royal Exchange and subsequent National Theatre productions. That training matters to the shape of his later career: theatre was an early foundation he returned to after becoming known to a much larger film audience.
2007 to 2010: Boy A and The Social Network
Garfield’s early screen breakthroughs included Robert Redford’s Lions for Lambs and the Channel 4 drama Boy A in 2007. In the latter, he played a young man trying to rebuild a life after imprisonment for a crime committed as a child. BAFTA’s April 20, 2008 announcement confirms that he won its television Actor award for the performance.
In 2010 he appeared in Never Let Me Go and played Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin in David Fincher’s The Social Network. Looking back in Esquire’s August 25, 2026 interview, Garfield discussed how Never Let Me Go director Mark Romanek recommended him to Fincher. The transition connected an intimate literary adaptation with a much more widely discussed technology drama.
2012 to 2016: Spider-Man and dramatic roles
The Golden Globes’ career profile records Garfield as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and its 2014 sequel. Emma Stone played Gwen Stacy. The films gave Garfield a recognisable franchise role, but the credits around them show that his career was never confined to it.
He appeared opposite Michael Shannon in 99 Homes and took on two very different 2016 films: Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge and Martin Scorsese’s Silence. His portrayal of Desmond Doss in Hacksaw Ridge earned an Actor in a Leading Role nomination at the 2017 Oscars, as confirmed by the Academy’s nominations announcement. The nomination is a dated career milestone, not evidence of a financial windfall.
2012 to 2022: Broadway, a Tony and Jonathan Larson
Garfield also kept a substantial stage career. The Internet Broadway Database lists him as Biff in the 2012 Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman and Prior Walter in the 2018 Broadway production of Angels in America. He received a 2012 Tony nomination for the former and won the 2018 leading actor in a play award for the latter.
In 2021 he played Jonathan Larson in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s film musical tick, tick…BOOM!. The performance won the 2022 Golden Globe for actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy, and brought another Actor in a Leading Role Oscar nomination in 2022. His screen work in this period also included The Eyes of Tammy Faye and the 2022 television series Under the Banner of Heaven, both recorded by the Golden Globes.
2026: The Uprising and Artificial
Garfield’s 2026 work includes Paul Greengrass’s historical drama The Uprising. Focus Features announced a September 11, 2026 domestic release; Letterboxd’s September 10 interview covered the film as it reached cinemas. Garfield plays a ploughman in a story set against the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt. September release dates should not be mistaken for a claim about which cinemas still show it in November.
A separate project is Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial, in which Garfield plays Sam Altman. Distributor NEON lists its theatrical release for December 25, 2026. As of November 8, 2026, that date is still ahead. The two roles put Garfield at opposite ends of stories about power, but neither project supplies a fresh measurement of his personal fortune.
