The name Tom seems to hold some kind of special magic when it comes to celebrities. Kind of like the name Chris - Chris Hemsworth, Chris Martin, Chris Pratt, Chris Brown -, but in this case, it seems to particularly affect actors. Realistically, the actors' success has most likely nothing to do with their names and everything to do with their talent and hard work, but it's still fascinating to see how many Toms there are in the cast of our favorite movies and series.
Each of the actors the readers are about to find in this list have had different careers, all of them very successful in their own way, and probably the only thing most of them will have in common is their name. But let's find out which one of the famous Toms has the most money in all Hollywood.
7 Tom Holland - $15 Million
Starting this list is Spider-Man himself. Tom Holland has a current reported net worth of $15 million, and a lot of it he owes to his portrayal of Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a role he has been playing for many years now. He made his debut as Spider-Man in the 2016 movie Captain America: Civil War, and kept this part for all the following Marvel movies. He has also participated in many other amazing projects such as Paramount's series Lip Sync Battle, movies like Edge of Winter, The Lost City of Z, and Pilgrimage. He's still very young, so with his talent and dedication, he will probably increase his fortune soon enough.
6 Tom Felton - $20 Million
Most readers will probably recognize Tom Felton for his work in the movie adaptation of J. K. Rowling's best-selling series of novels, Harry Potter. He was only 12 years old when he first auditioned for the role of Draco Malfoy, but he had already dabbled in acting and had quite an impressive resume for someone so young.
Harry Potter was his first big project, though, and that's where he started building his impressive $20 million net worth.
