Ralph Macchio’s net worth: The 'Karate Kid: Legends' star's wealth & income
Ralph Macchio first played an underdog martial artist in “The Karate Kid” more than four decades ago, and a revival of that character has opened opportunities for him late in his career. Here’s how much he’s worth in 2025.
Ralph Macchio reprises his role as Daniel LaRusso in the movie Karate Kid: Legends, which premiered on May 29, 2025. In the sixth installment of the Karate Kid franchise, Macchio’s character joins forces with Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han — from the 2010 remake — to help mentor a young kung fu prodigy.
Macchio has had significant roles in major movies such as My Cousin Vinny and The Outsiders, but he is best known for playing a martial arts student in 1984’s The Karate Kid and its two sequels later in the 1980s. It’s a role he reprised more than 30 years later on the small screen for the Cobra Kai TV series, and that has revived his career and popularity among Karate Kid fans.
