In the 2000s, he became one of the earliest memes, as internet commenters embraced and exaggerated his hard-boiled action persona, but he also gained a political profile for his support of right-wing causes.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Norris was worth an estimated $70m at the time of his death.
