Robin Williams Net Worth (2025): Laughter, Genius, and Priceless Legacy

Among the ocean of unbridled energy, the thousand impressions, and the boundless goodness, there existed one whose creative genius was timeless. Mork & Mindy to Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire to Aladdin, Robin Williams cast his magic spell to entwine the world’s laughter in its most untainted form.

But in private, he was human — fallible, prone to sickness, and self-disparaging about himself. His death in 2014 robbed his public less of a great performer than of one already predisposed towards inclining them towards the bitter hatred of tears and laughter.

So just how much was the net worth of Robin Williams when he passed away? And how much is his net worth in 2025? Let’s check out the dollars, the films and the lasting legacy of one of the Hollywood giants.

What Was Robin Williams’ Net Worth?

Robin McLaurin Williams was an American comedian and actor. He was born on July 21, 1951, in Chicago, Illinois.

Williams was addicted to wizardry of television as a kid, plugged into as a child, voices, and comedy. From Juilliard School, Williams emerged as a home television face as space alien Mork character on hit sitcom Mork & Mindy (1978–1982) and best-remembered face on television for several months.

Throughout the following decades, he invented trademark characters — some side-splitting ones, others contemptible, all unapologetically human.

Robin Williams Career Highlights

Breakthrough and Comedy

His Mork & Mindy stand-up comedianship rooted him in millions’ living rooms.
He brought humor to alienation — something which he would go on dazzlingly through his later work.

Hollywood Stardom

The 1980s and the 1990s made him the crème de Hollywood.

Award-winning Films:
Good Morning and Vietnam (1987) — first Academy Award nomination.
Dead Poets Society (1989) — generation recitals featuring line renderings of “O Captain! My  Captain!”
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) — angel in disguise.
Good Will Hunting (1997) — Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Patch Adams, Jumanji, Hook, The Birdcage and One Hour Photo — all due to his humongous range.

Voice Acting Magic

Robin’s off-the-top Disney Genie in Aladdin (1992) is the stuff of legend — off-the-top, vomiting, psychically draining. It put cartoon characters on a whole new plane.

Robin Williams Givingitin and Charity

Robin Williams was a giver and a talent and philanthropist. He gave liberally to charities — homeless shelters, veterans’ organizations, charity comedy benefit performances, children’s hospitals.
He toured performing stand-up entertaining US military servicemen daily and donating stand-up special proceeds to charity.
Robin’s philanthropy was low-key — anonymous gifts, and even just plain old regular anonymous. He is quoted by friends as having paid funeral bills of young comic friend’s, or anonymous gifts.

Financial Stress

As Robin accumulated his millions, his own checkbook shone so much less brightly. His two divorces alone cost him well over $30 million, estimates have.

It was to make yearly stratospheric payments to support other homes afloat — his Marin County spread and Napa Valley retreat, first.

Later, in interviews, he admitted to loading up indiscriminately with material just so that he could pay his dues and special people.

But in spite of it all, he retained it, not out of greed, he testified under oath, but for the work and lives it had so deeply touched.

Robin Williams’ Legacy

Wealth can be inherited, but legacy can’t.
Robin’s wealth was richest in the lives he touched lived.
His comedians weren’t either — they were therapy. We were laughed up by him when we had to be laughed up, and let off when we couldn’t take anymore.
His movies are a cultural touchstone now.
And meanwhile he’s amused them with Mrs. Doubtfire in the house with the kids or in school once more with a Dead Poets Society lesson plan, Robin does exist.

Real Estate and Properties

Robin at the time of death owned:
Tiburon, California Estate – 6,500-square-foot San Francisco Bay-view estate.
Napa Valley Villa Sorriso – 20-acre vineyard and garden villa.

His estate is distributing holdings, charity and dividends to children.
His holdings also consist of residual on film royalties, intellectual property rights, and ongoing licensing agreements with studios.

Robin Williams Personal and Family Life

Robin was a triple husband and triple father — Zak, Zelda, and Cody.
He would always refer to in the context of the best job he ever did as a father.
His children have continued his legacy of respect and compassion in his name where mental health awareness is concerned — dearest to his heart.

Income After Death

Even though Robin left this world behind, his estate continues to generate tens of millions of dollars every year through:
Disney, Netflix, and Amazon Prime streaming rights.
His eternally box office Jumanji, Good Will Hunting, and Mrs. Doubtfire DVD and Blu-ray sales.

Merchandising and licensing his voice and image.

His 2025 estate continues to rake in $2–3 million annually, proof genius isn’t dead.

Social Impact and Recognition

Robin Williams awards are:
1 Academy Award
2 Emmy Awards
6 Golden Globes
5 Grammys

His greatest reward, however, is love. His comedy endures centuries — proof one can be good guy and comedian and live and die so.
