Harvey Weinstein Net Worth: American film producer and film studio executive, Harvey Weinstein has an estimated net worth of around $200 million. He is best known for producing high profile movies like pulp fiction, Sex, Lies and Videotape, The Crying Game and Clerks.
Harvey Weinstein was born on March 19, 1952 in Flushing, New York. He got into Entertainment industry by producing rock concerts along with his brother in the 1970s. The brothers then created a small independent film distribution company under the name Miramax. Originally, the company first worked on musical films and shows but they moved into mainstream films and had several successful movies like The Thin Blue Line, Sex, Lies and Videotape, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and many more.
Their success grew quiet enormously in the early 1990s with the release of movie Pulp Fiction. They won their first Academy Award for Best Picture in 1997 for movie The English Patient. Miramax also won an Academy Award for producing Shakespeare in Love and earned 7 Tony Awards. Although, he has been quiet successful in his profession, he has also been criticized by some for his poor techniques. His aggressive efforts to campaign for Oscars for his films during Oscar season led to a ban on campaigns by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In September of 2009, he publicly voiced opposition to efforts to extradite Roman Polanski from Switzerland to U.S. regarding the 1977 charges of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13 year old to which Polanski had plead guilty before fleeing the country.
