Producer Marc Platt Has a Net Worth That Speaks to His Success in Hollywood

Although there are a handful of exceptions, most movie producers aren't known by name. Usually, if a producer is known by name, it's because they have a reputation of some sort that is more likely to be negative than positive. Although not everyone knows who he is, Marc Platt has become a name that some recognize for a few reasons.

For one, he's the father of actor Ben Platt, making Ben pretty firmly a nepo baby. Marc was in the headlines in March of 2025, though, because he is the named producer who apparently flew across the country to meet with Rachel Zegler about her online political statements. Following those stories, many wanted to know what his net worth is. Here's what we know.

Marc's net worth is estimated to be roughly $20 million, and it stems largely from his success in Hollywood. Marc is one of the producers behind films like La La Land, Bridge of Spies, and The Trial of the Chicago 7, and he has earned three Tony Awards, two Emmys, and two Golden Globes over the course of his career. He's also been the producer behind many of Disney's recent live-action remakes, including Snow White.

Marc's incredible success as a producer stems from the money he makes on the back end of movies that turn a profit. A movie like Wicked, for example, was hugely profitable for him because it made much more money than it cost to produce.

That's also why he appears to have been so concerned over Snow White.

Following Snow White's relatively underwhelming box office performance, Marc and Disney have been forcefully pushing a narrative to the Hollywood press that star Rachel Zegler's public political comments are the reason for the movie's failure.

Jonah Platt, Marc's son, has even come to his father's defense, suggesting that Zegler was an "employee" who stepped out of line.

“Yeah, my dad, the producer of enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for,” he wrote in a since-deleted Instagram comment, per People.

Of course, it's possible that Zegler is getting the blame for what was really a series of poor investments. Why did Snow White cost hundreds of millions of dollars anyway?
