To date, he has directed over 49 feature films and 14 theater productions in the span of his career, including the ‘70s hit movies Annie Hall, Bananas, and Manhattan.

Aside from film directing, Allen is also a known playwright, book author, and an accomplished jazz clarinetist. With Allen’s long-standing reputation as one of the best directors of Hollywood, it does not come as a surprise that he already has a $140 million net worth.

He purchased a townhome on the Upper East Side with 10 rooms.
