Cuba Gooding, Jr. has an estimated net worth of $5 million

Cuba Gooding, Jr. is an American actor with an estimated net worth of $5 million. He is best known for starring in films like Boyz n the Hood (1991), Jerry McGuire (1996), and Men of Honor (2000). He is 5’10″ and weighs 210 pounds. Cuba Gooding, Jr. was born on January 2, 1968 in the Bronx, New York to musical parents as his mother was a singer and his father the frontman of funk band. His family moved to Los Angeles when his father’s career took off and he attended four different high schools  but didn’t have any trouble fitting in as he would become class president in three of them. He was particularly active in drama and an agent discovered him during one play as he began to work steadily in commercials and got his big break with a small role in Hill Street Blues in 1987.

Gooding would continue to land small roles in television and film, including a notable, if small, role in Coming to America in 1988. His major breakthrough, however, would come in the 1991 hit Boyz n the Hood. Gooding played the lead in the story of a Los Angeles youth trying to overcome the pitfalls of his youth and the movie would become a modern classic. He would continue to impress over the next few years with roles in hits like A Few Good Men but would become a major celebrity after he won an Academy Award for his supporting role to Tom Cruise’s main character in 1996’s Jerry Maguire. For most of the rest of the 1990s, Gooding was a major star with memorable performances in movies like As Good as It Gets (1997), What Dreams May Come (1998) and Instinct (1999).

In the new century, Gooding has continued to work steadily, although his success has fallen off some. For every box office success,  including Men of Honor (2000), Pearl Harbor (2001), American Gangster (2007), there have been as many disappointment like Boat Trip (2003) and Radio (2003). Even so, Gooding has continued to land big roles in recent movies like Red Tails (2012) and Lee Daniels’ The Butler (2013). Gooding has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He married his high school sweetheart and they have three children.
