What Is Jason Statham’s Net Worth and Salary?

With a net worth of $90 million, Jason Statham is a British actor whose films have collectively earned approximately $2 billion at the global box office throughout his multi-decade career. Today, he ranks among the highest-paid action stars worldwide, often receiving more than $10 million for starring in a single movie. When combined with his long-term partner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, their total net worth reaches $120 million, although they have not formally married despite being together since 2010.

Early Life

Born on July 26, 1967, in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England, Jason Statham spent his childhood in the coastal town of Great Yarmouth. His mother, Eileen, was a dancer, while his father, Barry, sold goods on the streets. Statham played football at his local grammar school and initially aimed for a career in diving, joining Britain’s National Diving Squad for twelve years. In 1988, he was part of the British Olympic team in Seoul, Korea, and he represented England in diving at the 1990 Commonwealth Games. After experiencing some underwhelming results at Olympic Trials and Championships, he shifted his focus towards acting and modeling.

Acting Career

Jason’s on-screen career began in earnest after an agent discovered him in 1998. Early on, he modeled for the clothing brand French Connection and was later cast by Guy Ritchie in “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels,” a film that grossed over $80 million and marked the start of his Hollywood journey. He worked again with Ritchie in the 2000 film “Snatch,” where he starred alongside Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro, and once again, the film achieved over $80 million at the box office. Throughout the early 2000s, he featured in various movies like “The One” and “Ghosts of Mars,” but it was “The Transporter” that truly established his fame. For this role, he insisted on performing all his own stunts and trained in karate, Wing Chun kung fu, and kickboxing to prepare. “The Transporter” led to two sequels, a reboot, and a TV series. In 2005, Ritchie cast him again in “Revolver,” although this film did not fare well critically or financially. However, in 2008, Statham impressed audiences with his performances in “The Bank Job” and “Death Race,” solidifying his status as a full-fledged action star.

In 2010, he starred in “The Expendables,” a star-studded action film that also featured Sylvester Stallone and Mickey Rourke, which opened at #1 in multiple countries, including the U.S., UK, China, and India. The following year, he received positive feedback for his role in “The Mechanic.” Statham returned to British cinema through the police drama “Blitz.” During this period, he appeared in “The Italian Job” and played the lead villain in “Cellular.” Although his next film, “Killer Elite,” was poorly received by critics and failed to recoup its budget, Statham returned to his role in “The Expendables” for its sequel in 2012 and appeared in “The Expendables 3” in 2014. While these sequels received unfavorable critical reviews, they were still box office successes. Showing his versatility, Statham displayed comedic talent in the action-comedy “Spy,” sharing the screen with an ensemble cast that included Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, and Rose Byrne, earning a nomination for a Critic’s Choice Award for best comedic actor for his performance.

In late 2016, the follow-up to his 2011 film “The Mechanic” debuted under the name “Mechanic: Resurrection.” This film turned out to be a financial success, raking in over $109.4 million globally. In February 2017, he appeared alongside Gal Gadot in a Wix.com advertisement for Super Bowl LI, achieving over 22 million user impressions. The confirmation of “Spy 2” came in 2018; nevertheless, Paul Feig, the director, has indicated a lack of studio interest in pursuing the project. In “The Meg,” released in August 2018, Statham took on the lead role of Captain Jonas Taylor in this action-horror film.

Additionally, Statham has been part of three films in the “Fast and Furious” franchise and reprised his role as Deckard Shaw in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.” His performance received critical acclaim, and the film was commercially successful, ultimately becoming the tenth highest-grossing movie of 2019. He made a return to the franchise in “F9” in 2021 and “Fast X” in 2023. In the same year, he also reprised his role as Jonas Taylor in “Meg 2: The Trench.”

In 2014, Statham was honored with induction into the International Sports Hall of Fame.

Statham advocated for stunt performers to receive recognition in a dedicated Academy Awards category in 2015, arguing that their talent often goes unrecognized. In his leisure time, Jason enjoys activities such as rock climbing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, and jet skiing.

Real Estate

In 2009, Jason acquired an oceanfront residence in Malibu, California for $10.6 million. He later sold the property in January 2020 for $18.5 million.

He purchased a Hollywood Hills house from Ben Stiller in 2011 for $7.3 million, selling it in 2015 for $9.2 million to Johnny Galecki, a star from “The Big Bang Theory.” Previously, this home belonged to the legendary session drummer Hal Blaine.

In 2015, Jason and Rosie invested $2.7 million on a house located above the Sunset Strip, which he listed in 2020 for $7 million after renovations. Their primary residence, situated down the road in Beverly Hills, was acquired for $13 million.
