What Is Hugh Jackman's Net Worth? The Jackpot Is Huge

Aussie actor Hugh Jackman has clawed his way through Hollywood since the start. The Sydney-born star initially worked as a physical education teacher before pursuing the arts. His first major role was as Kevin Chambers in the Australian ABC series Correlli.

In the early days of his career, he also acted in several Australian theatre productions. His breakthrough role was undoubtedly as Wolverine in the decades-long film series X-Men.

Now, he’s one of the most famous actors in the world — and has a bank account to show for it.

What is Hugh Jackman’s net worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hugh Jackman’s jackpot is an impressive $100 million. However, there is some speculation that he’s worth more. Some believe that the $100 million is what he earned from the X-Men franchise.

This includes his base salary, bonuses, and promotions. At the height of the franchise’s popularity, it was reported that he was making $20 million per film. His time with the franchise helped cement him as one of Hollywood’s highest-paying actors.

Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Deadpool & Wolverine focuses on the duo teaming up to save the world.

Although critic reviews for the film aren’t stellar, the money is exceeding expectations. Variety reported that the film made $38.5 million in Thursday’s previews at the box office.

This is a huge jump from the $12.7 million made in previews for the first Deadpool movie and $18.6 million for the 2018 sequel. The movie is projected to open domestically between $160 and $170 million. Hugh’s net worth will surely skyrocket if he earns bonuses for these numbers.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness's announcement that they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage sent shockwaves throughout the world. The Aussie pair, who first met in 1995 and share two children, released a joint statement:

"We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."

So far, not much is known about the divorce settlement and division of assets. However, in the Deadpool & Wolverine film, there is a joke about Hugh’s divorce.

In it, Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool makes a wise crack about Wolverine’s physique post-divorce.

“He’s usually shirtless,” Deadpool says. “But he’s let himself go since the divorce.”
