Beloved Canadian actor Donald Sutherland, best known for roles in Hunger Games, Klute, and M*A*S*H, has died. The 88-year-old passed away in Miami on Thursday, June 20, 2024, after a long illness.
The actor made an incredible impact on the entertainment industry. His decades-long career was marked by great versatility. He assimilated any role he played, whether comedic, dramatic, or sinister.
Although he was never awarded an Oscar, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made up for this by honoring him with a statuette at the Governors Awards in 2017.
He often filmed several films a year, which pulls his net worth into question. What was Donald Sutherland’s net worth before he died?
What is Donald Sutherland’s net worth?
Donald Sutherland’s net worth is estimated to be $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He was considered one of the wealthiest Canadian actors. Unsurprisingly, most of this income comes from his tenured career as a successful actor.
Donald was born to parents Dorothy and Frederick on July 17, 1935, in Saint John, New Brunswick. His early childhood was marked by poor health, as Donald suffered from early-onset polio, hepatitis, and rheumatic fever.
The prolific actor beat the odds against him and pushed toward his acting dreams. He studied at the University of Toronto and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
In an interview with GQ, he revealed that his first film role was in 1962. His career took off from there, resulting in decades of acting roles. This work was recognized by his country. On Dec. 18, 1978, the Governor General of Canada awarded him the OC (Officer of the Order of Canada).
Donald Sutherland has been married three times and has five children.
Donald leaves behind his five kids: Kiefer, Rossif, Rachel, Angus, and Roeg. Several of his children have followed his footsteps in the entertainment industry. Kiefer Sutherland is one of the most prominent, known of his roles in 24, The Lost Boys, and A Few Good Men.
Keither shared a touching tribute to his departed father on Twitter.
“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” he began. “I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that.” He closed his statement by calling his father’s life and legacy, “A life well lived.”
Speaking of a well-lived life, Donald’s acting career afforded him many luxuries. While his real estate portfolio isn’t fully known, one of his former properties was put on the market in January 2024. This was the Santa Monica beach house he designed in 1930 and lived in for 30 years. It was put on the market for $3,676,000.
According to an interview with The Guardian, Donald owned homes in LA, Canada, New York, and Paris. “I have mortgages up to my armpit, though,” he said.
