Since his days of peddling counterfeit perfume on the sidewalk, Jason Statham’s wealth has skyrocketed.
He told IGN that before he became famous, he “worked on the street corners, selling perfume and jewelry and other goods that were supposedly expensive” to make a living.
Statham has become a bona fide action star because of his work in the Fast and the Furious series (including the upcoming tenth chapter, Fast X) and his long history of successful thrillers with director Guy Ritchie. But if there’s one actor whose career he’d like to emulate, it’s his Expendables co-star Sylvester Stallone, he says.
These occurrences keep popping up. Learn where Statham began, how he got his big break, and how much he’s earned for his efforts.
Jason Statham Net Worth
British actor Jason Statham has a net worth of $90 million. Over the course of his multi-decade career, Jason Statham has raked in several billions of dollars at the box office with his dozens of flicks. Since then, Jason’s career has skyrocketed, and he is now one of the highest-paid action actors in the world. When he is the main attraction of a movie, he can easily earn $10 million or more.
They have a combined net worth of $120 million thanks to his long-term partner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Despite being together since 2010, they are not legally married.
The Meg’s Big Box Office Success
The Meg cost $130 million to make. Taking into account the price of advertising, the company would have had to gross somewhere between $260 and $390 million just to break even. The final global total was $530.2 million, making it a huge success (we could talk about this all week).
Although Statham’s base pay for the shark film is unknown, he may have received a tidy sum in box office bonuses—enough, at least, to tempt him to return for The Meg 2: The Trench, scheduled for release in 2023.
Statham’s $13 Million Hobbs & Shaw Deal
Statham reportedly earned $13 million to star with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Deckard Shaw in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. For starters, Johnson made $20,000,000.
The budget for the film was $200 million, and both Statham and Johnson are listed as producers. The studio probably spent between $400 million and $600 million on the film, and that doesn’t even include the expense of advertising it. Rest assured, it was a huge success, grossing $760.7 million worldwide and earning Statham and Johnson significant box office bonuses.
Jason’s Smart Real Estate Investments
Jason dropped $10.6 million on a Malibu, California, mansion in 2009. In January 2020, he made a sale of this home for $18.5 million.
He paid Ben Stiller $7.3 million in 2011 to purchase Stiller’s Hollywood Hills mansion. In 2015, he made $9.2 million off of the sale of this home to Johnny Galecki of “The Big Bang Theory” fame. The late great session drummer Hal Blaine once called this house his own.
Jason and Rosie bought a mansion high above the Sunset Strip in 2015 for $2.7 million. In 2020, he put the newly remodeled home on the market for $7 million. Their primary residence is a $13 million Beverly Hills estate just down the street.
