Diane Keaton Net Worth

What was Diane Keaton's Net Worth?

Diane Keaton was a legendary American actress, screenwriter, producer, and director who had a net worth of $100 million at the time of her death. Sadly, Diane died on October 11, 2025, at the age of 79.

Known for her distinctive voice, offbeat charm, and fearless individuality, Keaton became one of Hollywood's most respected and beloved performers. She first gained recognition on Broadway in Woody Allen's play "Play It Again, Sam" in 1969 before transitioning to film with roles in "Lovers and Other Strangers" and Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather," where she played Kay Adams, the moral conscience opposite Al Pacino's Michael Corleone.

Her defining role came in 1977 with Allen's "Annie Hall," which earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress and transformed her into a cultural icon. Her character's quirky fashion sense—men's vests, ties, and hats—set off a nationwide trend and cemented her image as an emblem of individuality. She continued collaborating with Allen on "Interiors" and "Manhattan," while expanding into dramatic territory with Warren Beatty's "Reds" (earning another Oscar nomination) and acclaimed performances in "Looking for Mr. Goodbar," "Marvin's Room," and "Crimes of the Heart."

Keaton's versatility shone through in comedies like "Baby Boom," "Father of the Bride," and "The First Wives Club," as well as in later romantic hits such as "Something's Gotta Give," which earned her a fourth Oscar nomination. Beyond acting, she directed films including "Unstrung Heroes" and "Hanging Up," produced projects like "Elephant," and published several bestselling memoirs.

Throughout her career, Keaton embodied a rare blend of humor, vulnerability, and authenticity that resonated across generations. Honored with the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017, she remained a singular figure in film—independent, original, and endlessly influential. Keaton never married but adopted two children, Dexter and Duke, and continued to inspire admiration for both her artistic legacy and her unapologetically unconventional life.

Perhaps most importantly to Diane Keaton's net worth, she has carved out a respectable side career as a high-end real estate flipper. We detail her real estate history later in the next section below.

Real Estate

Diane Keaton has carved out a respected side career as a high-end real estate flipper with a passion for historic preservation and design. Over the past few decades, she has bought, restored, and sold numerous architecturally significant homes across Los Angeles and Southern California, often transforming neglected properties into stunning showcases of vintage charm and modern elegance. Real estate profits have earned Diane significantly more money than her acting career.

Keaton's real estate projects reflect her deep appreciation for design, especially Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, and mid-century modern styles. She's renovated homes originally designed by notable architects like Lloyd Wright and Wallace Neff, and she often oversees the restorations herself, down to tile selections and salvaging original materials. Her work is frequently featured in design magazines like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor.

In 2012, she published House, a coffee-table book showcasing her design aesthetic and the homes she's reimagined. Keaton has reportedly made millions through her real estate ventures, flipping properties in Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Pacific Palisades.

Here is a quick summary of some of Diane Keaton's most notable real estate purchases and sales:

First of all, Diane's current primary home is a mansion in LA's Brentwood neighborhood, which she purchased in 2009 for $4.7 million. After several renovations and expansions, today, this estate is easily worth $20-30 million. As a comp, in July 2024, Ben Affleck bought a smaller mansion right next door for $20.5 million. And in fact, Diane listed the home for sale in March 2025 for $28.9 million.

In 2002, Diane bought a Bel Air mansion for an undisclosed amount. After a massive renovation, she sold the home in 2005 to a tech executive for $16.5 million.

In 2004, Keaton acquired a property in Laguna Beach for $7.5 million. She immediately got to work and renovated the beach house with a keen eye for detail. In 2006, she sold the home for $12.75 million.

In 2012, she paid $5.6 million for a nearly 8,000-square-foot home in LA's Pacific Palisades neighborhood. She sold this home in 2016 for $6.9 million.

In 2018, she paid $1.5 million for a home in Tucson, Arizona. Keaton once again "worked her magic" before relisting the property for $2.6 million in 2020. The 4,500-square-foot property was built back in 1900, but it went through several renovations and updates before Diane purchased it. Details include exposed wooden beams and many beautiful features maintained from the original construction at the turn of the 19th century.

Several of her flips have been bought by fellow celebrities. For example:

• Madonna once paid $6.5 million for a Keaton-remodeled mansion.
• In 2007, Diane paid $8.1 million for a 100-year-old mansion in Beverly Hills.
• In 2010, she sold the home to television producer Ryan Murphy for $10 million.

Early Life

Diane Hall was born on January 5, 1946, in Los Angeles, California. Raised in a Free Methodist household, Diane was inspired by her mother and Katharine Hepburn to become an actress who portrayed strong, independent women. During her high school years, she joined singing and acting clubs. Keaton also appeared in numerous school plays before graduating in 1964. Although Diane initially studied acting at a number of colleges, she soon dropped out in order to pursue a professional career in New York City.

During this period, she joined the Actors' Equity Association and changed her last name to Keaton (her mother's maiden name). This was because another actress under the name of Diane Hall was already registered. While she attempted to break through in New York, she took classes at the Neighborhood Playhouse and mastered the Meisner technique. This technique places a focus on the scene partner rather than the actors themselves, and Meisner-trained actors strive for genuine, organic emotions above all else.

Career

By the late '60s, Keaton had made significant progress in the Broadway community, and she gained notoriety after appearing in the play "Play It Again, Sam." She was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance and later made her film debut with "Lovers and Other Strangers." A slew of roles soon followed, with both television series and commercial gigs.

Although Diane was certainly making a name for herself at this point, her true breakthrough came in 1972 when she appeared in the film "The Godfather." She played the love interest of Al Pacino's character and brought her trademark eccentricity to the role. The first film became a financial and critical success, winning the Oscar for Best Picture in 1972.

Keaton then reprised her role in "The Godfather Part II" before working with Woody Allen on several projects throughout the 1970s. These included "Sleeper," "Love and Death," and a film adaptation of the play "Play It Again, Sam." A high point came in the late '70s when Keaton won the Academy Award for Best Actress after starring in Allen's "Annie Hall." Diane stopped working with Allen after the film "Manhattan."

During the next period, Keaton appeared in numerous films, including the critical and commercial failure of "The Little Drummer Girl." The '90s saw her transition to more mature roles in films like "The Godfather Part III" and "Manhattan Murder Mystery." She also directed her first theatrical release, "Unstrung Heroes." Another high point came with "The First Wives Club," which earned $105 million at the box office in 1996.

In 2001, Keaton's career floundered once more with the infamously unsuccessful "Town & Country," which earned just $7 million on a budget of $90 million. She fared better with 2003's "Something's Gotta Give" alongside Jack Nicholson. A number of additional roles followed throughout the 2010s, including a voice acting role in "Finding Dory," which raked in over $1 billion worldwide in 2016. In 2018, she appeared in "Book Club," which also performed well at the box office.

Relationships

Keaton is famous for her relationships with other celebrities. During the beginning of her career, Diane dated Woody Allen for several months and lived with him. During the late '70s, she sparked a relationship with director/producer Warren Beatty. During the filming of "The Godfather Trilogy," Keaton became romantically involved with Al Pacino, although their relationship ended with the wrap of the last film. By 2001, Diane was raising two adopted children, having never married. She rejects the notion that not marrying has made her life any worse.
