Downey's reported wealth is driven substantially by his Marvel Cinematic Universe run as Iron Man/Tony Stark, with backend profit participation reportedly paying him roughly $75 million for Avengers: Endgame alone once salary and backend are combined, and cumulative earnings across the Iron Man films reported at more than $300 million. Pre-Marvel film salaries and post-Marvel work, including voice and producing credits, contribute additional but less precisely quantified income.
