The Richest Marvel Villains Ranked, & Does the Villain With the Largest Net Worth Beat the Wealthiest MCU Hero?

Any fan of superhero movies knows that a potential blockbuster is only as good as the villain that their favorite heroes face off against.

Thankfully, within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that’s never a problem! The iconic franchise has amassed an incredible lineup of heroes and an equally popular crew of supervillains who are always trying to ruin the day.

Of course, part of what makes the MCU so great is the multitude of morally gray characters. Take Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki, for example. He’s a villain who is beloved to many for his enduring heart of gold. On the flip side, Elizabeth Olsen‘s Scarlet Witch embraced her dark side, becoming the villain in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The other thing that makes Marvel’s villains a treat is that we often get mega-stars in the role. Hollywood icons and talented newcomers alike have suited up as evildoers.

With such a talented group, you might be wondering who has amassed the largest approximate net worth over the years? We did some digging and put together a ranking from lowest to highest, and the top earner beats the competition with a worth of around $200 million!

Was that also enough to beat out the wealthiest hero in the MCU?

The Richest 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Stars, Ranked (The Top-Earner is Worth $200 Million But Isn't 1 of the 3 Spider-Men!)

Three Spider-Men raced to save the day in 2021′s Spider-Man: No Way Home, and we can tell you which of them has the highest net worth.

The 2021 hit was the third official Spider-Man movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it found Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker working alongside previous Peter Parkers Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield thanks to some multiverse magic.

Of course, that meant that some of the superhero’s iconic villains from past movies also made comebacks for the movie. Some of them were seen on the big screen for the first time since 2002′s Spider-Man came out.

As a result of the movie’s magic, a multitude of major stars were back in action. Some of them were big names in Hollywood before they assumed the role. Others have become breakout stars since. All of them have amassed impressive net worths over the years.

Tom recently revealed what it would take to get him to suit up for another outing as the iconic hero. It made us curious, so we did some digging to see how much each star from the movie was worth. The wealthiest actor has an estimated net worth of $200 million!
