Net worth & personal profile
Shia LaBeoufNet Worth
The $20M estimate tested against a documented $15M peak salary, 2009 earnings, a $1.1M home, confidential litigation, 2026 probation and independent-film work.
Shia LaBeouf’s net worth is not independently established. Celebrity Net Worth publishes $20 million, but no current balance sheet reproduces it. Trade reporting supports a $15 million salary for Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Vanity Fair estimated $15 million of total 2009 earnings; both are historical gross earnings, not retained wealth. A confidential 2025 civil settlement, a still-disputed 2026 NDA case, property financing and later legal costs make a precise current total especially unverifiable.

The essentials
Celebrity Net Worth publishes $20 million but provides no dated asset, liability, tax or legal-cost schedule. The structured value remains blank. [1]
Trade reporting supports a $15 million salary for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, while Vanity Fair estimated $15 million total earnings in 2009. Neither measures wealth retained in 2026. [3]
FKA Twigs’ 2020 civil claims settled in 2025 on confidential terms. A 2026 suit disputes the settlement NDA; allegations, denials, settlement and current dispute remain legally distinct. [6]
The estimate · Peak earnings · Career now · Legal record · Property & family · Evidence
Shia LaBeouf’s financial record has one well-sourced blockbuster peak and a much less transparent present. Salary reporting, historical earnings estimates, a property purchase and legal outcomes are public; his current accounts, investments, debts, legal bills and private settlement terms are not.
This review keeps allegations, denials, a confidential civil settlement and a later criminal guilty plea in their correct legal categories. None can be converted into an invented dollar loss. Net Worth VIP — methodology
01 / The outside estimate
$20M is plausible as a headline, not reproducible as a balance sheet
Celebrity Net Worth publishes $20 million and a detailed salary ladder. Its disclaimer identifies the figures as estimates, and it supplies no current cash, securities, business interests, debts, taxes or litigation costs.
The old page treated $20 million as its own conclusion because it appeared consistent with peak earnings. Consistency is not verification: spending, tax, representatives, investments, property financing and confidential legal outcomes sit between gross salary and current wealth.
The structured main value is therefore blank. Historical earnings remain useful evidence only when labeled by period and type.
02 / The documented peak
A $15M film salary and $15M earning year do not equal today’s wealth
Trade reporting supports $15 million for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Vanity Fair separately estimated $15 million of total 2009 earnings, including $8 million for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and $6 million for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Those figures refer to different periods and must not be added as though they were cash currently held. Both precede federal and state tax, agents, managers, lawyers, living costs and later financial outcomes.
Forbes’ best-actor-for-the-buck ranking used studio box office relative to pay. Its cited billions in movie grosses belong to distributors and participants across the film chain—not to LaBeouf personally.
03 / Career after the tentpoles
Independent work supplies no public replacement salary ledger
Forbes documented the early-2010s shift away from studio tentpoles. Later work includes Fury, Honey Boy, The Peanut Butter Falcon, Megalopolis and Henry Johnson, but the reviewed trade sources do not publish comparable salaries.
Megalopolis’ reported $120 million budget was financed by Francis Ford Coppola. Its commercial performance is relevant to the film’s market reception, not a personal investment loss for LaBeouf.
Henry Johnson received a direct digital release after a limited theatrical run. Distribution method and acting credit do not reveal a fee, backend percentage or retained profit. No verified next production with disclosed compensation appears in the reviewed sources.
04 / Civil and criminal matters
Private settlement, disputed NDA and a public guilty plea
FKA Twigs sued LaBeouf in 2020 alleging sexual battery, assault and emotional distress. LaBeouf denied the lawsuit’s allegations while also publicly acknowledging a history of abusive behavior. The parties settled in July 2025 and said the terms would remain private.
In March 2026, Barnett filed a separate action challenging parts of the settlement NDA. Her filing and LaBeouf’s response are competing legal positions; the reviewed sources do not disclose a final merits ruling or a reliable dollar amount.
Separately, LaBeouf pleaded guilty in June 2026 to three simple-battery counts from a New Orleans incident. The sentence included six months suspended, two years probation, treatment and stay-away orders. No reviewed report identifies a fine or restitution amount.
05 / Property and family
A $1.1M purchase, one daughter and no confirmed current partner
Property reporting says LaBeouf bought an Uptown New Orleans cottage in December 2025 for just under $1.1 million. Purchase price does not disclose down payment, mortgage, present market value or equity.
LaBeouf and Mia Goth share a daughter, Isabel, born in 2022. Current reporting describes them as separated and co-parenting; no current romantic partner is reliably confirmed.
The agency story also needs precision: reports say his CAA relationship ended in 2021 while he entered treatment and that he was not fired. Agency status is a career signal, not a dollar deduction from net worth.

Common questions
Questions, answered
What is Shia LaBeouf’s net worth in 2026?
It is not independently established. Celebrity Net Worth publishes $20 million, but no current personal balance sheet, legal-cost schedule or reproducible calculation is public.
How much did Shia LaBeouf make from Transformers?
Trade reporting supports $15 million for Dark of the Moon. Other installment figures are widely repeated, but the reviewed primary trade evidence is strongest for the third film. Gross salary is not current net worth.
Did Shia LaBeouf lose money on Megalopolis?
No reviewed source shows that he financed the film. Francis Ford Coppola self-financed the reported $120 million production budget; LaBeouf’s fee was not disclosed.
How much was the FKA Twigs settlement?
The parties expressly said the 2025 settlement terms would remain private. Any claimed payout amount is unsupported. A separate 2026 dispute concerns enforceability of NDA provisions.
Is Shia LaBeouf still with Mia Goth?
Current reporting describes them as separated and co-parenting their daughter Isabel. No current romantic partner is publicly confirmed in the reliable sources reviewed.
