Here's How Much In The Heights Star Gregory Diaz IV Is Really Worth
It's safe to say that actor, singer, and dancer Gregory Diaz IV is a serious triple threat. At only 16 years old, the young star is already famed for various roles on-screen and in theater — including on the Netflix series "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," the Broadway musical "Matilda the Musical," and more (via IMDb). And it seems that Diaz's star is growing even bigger this year. He's starring in the upcoming film adaptation of "In The Heights," the Tony Award winning musical from "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
In the highly anticipated film, which chronicles the lives of various characters living in New York City's Washington Heights, Diaz plays the role of Sonny, a young undocumented immigrant who is "streetsmart, politically smart, [and] big on the political climate and social change," as the actor explained to amNewYork. Opening up about the role, Diaz told the outlet that he hopes viewers could see themselves in the film.
"I really want everyone to walk away kind of connecting with the piece of the film, there is something for everyone," he said. "I want the Latinx community to feel represented, feel the authenticity of the film and walk away proud."
Gregory Diaz IV has already found success at a young age
Given Gregory Diaz IV's growing fame, how much is the actor's net worth? Believe it or not, the "In The Heights" star has already amassed quite a fortune at a young age, with his net worth being estimated to be between $1 and $5 million, according to Celebs Age Wiki and Popular Bio.
This impressive number, of course, is all thanks to Diaz's accomplishments as an actor, both on-screen and on-stage. Per Deadline, the young star made his Broadway debut as Bruce in the Tony Award winning "Matilda the Musical" in 2016, and also had off-Broadway roles in "Pedro Pan," "Zurich," and "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." Plus, Diaz already has some impressive television and film credits on his resume. He's starred as Quentin in "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," has appeared on NBC's "New Amsterdam," and has acted the 2020 film "Vampires vs. the Bronx," among other roles (via IMDb).
With such impressive achievements under his belt (at age 16, no less!), there's no doubt that Diaz is rising star — and we definitely expect his fame to grow in the coming years. "I've been extremely, extremely fortunate in my young career," Diaz acknowledged in an interview with People. "As an actor, I'd love to continue to grow in my career and be a part of more of those meaningful stories that'll break down even more barriers, and then hopefully pave the way for those who come after me."
