Yukio Mishima, a renowned Japanese playwright, is estimated to have a net worth of $1.2 million in 2024. Born in 1925, Mishima gained worldwide recognition for his literary works, which often revolved around themes of desire, identity, and the complexities of human nature. Mishima's masterpiece, "The Sea of Fertility" tetralogy, and his controversial political activism played significant roles in shaping his legacy. Despite his untimely death by suicide in 1970, Mishima's works continue to captivate audiences and his literary contributions cement his status as an esteemed playwright in Japan.
Remembered for such avant-garde literary works as The Sound of Waves, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and Silk and Insight, this Nobel Prize-nominated Japanese Novelist also wrote poems and Kabuki plays and had a second career as an actor, Bodybuilder, and model.
Although his father forbade him from writing, viewing the practice as "effeminate," Mishima secretly wrote numerous stories during his childhood and teenage years. After attending the University of Tokyo, he briefly worked for the Japanese government's Finance Ministry before becoming a full-time Writer.
As an actor, he starred in Director Yasuzo Masumura's 1960 Japanese Mafia movie, Afraid to Die.
His marriage to Yoko Sugiyama resulted in a son and a daughter. Throughout his marriage, however, he had romantic liaisons with men.
American filmmaker Paul Schrader directed Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, a 1985 Mishima biopic.
