John Travolta Net Worth - After more than three decades since playing the TV sitcom role that made him famous, John Travolta is set to star in an upcoming television series on FX. The Face Off actor has been on somewhat of an extended holiday since featuring in Killing Season alongside Robert De Niro in 2013. You may be wondering about John Travolta net worth since he can afford to take such a long break from acting.

Numerous sources estimate the 60-year-old to have about $165 million. John Travolta has managed to remain consistent since breaking into the scene in the seventies. Although he had a similar spell in the late 80s, his recent break from acting seems to have been the longest period that he's been away from the screen.

Travolta's new role in FX's American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson will see him play Jewish defense attorney Robert Shapiro. Shapiro, who is mostly recognized as one of the front characters of the legal team that successfully defended O.J. Simpson in 1995, also represented other athletes and Hollywood celebrities in court.

The television adaptation of the famous O.J. Simpson murder case is expected to attract a lot of viewers and will definitely do some good for John Travolta net worth. The headline-grabbing murder of Simpson's ex Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman at her LA residence led to one of the most memorable trials in American history.

Although many have casted doubt on the outcome of the trial, which saw Simpson acquitted, critics say the 67-year-old retired football player may have been actually guilty of the crime. The inability of the defense team to prove the case has been held as the main reason Simpson was not held for the murders.

John Travolta will star in the American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson alongside Cuba Gooding Jr as O.J. Simpson and David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian - the late patriach of the Kardashians.

American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson is part of a miniseries on the American Horror Story. The series is expected to run for just six episodes, but if all goes right, it could see John Travolta net worth rise a bit.
