What Is Jason Statham’s Net Worth and Salary?

With a net worth estimated at $90 million, Jason Statham is a British actor whose films have collectively grossed around $2 billion at the global box office over a career that spans several decades. Today, he ranks among the highest-paid action stars globally, often earning more than $10 million for leading roles in films. Together with his long-time partner Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, they boast a combined net worth of $120 million, despite not being married after over a decade together since 2010.

Early Life

Born on July 26, 1967, in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England, Jason Statham was raised in Great Yarmouth, a coastal town. His mother, Eileen, worked as a dancer, while his father, Barry, sold goods on the street. During his youth, Statham played football at the local grammar school. Prior to achieving global fame as an action star, he spent 12 years pursuing diving and was part of Britain’s National Diving Squad. He even represented the British Olympic team at the Seoul Olympics in 1988 and dove for England at the 1990 Commonwealth Games. After some frustrating results in the Olympic Trials and Championships, he chose to shift his focus to acting and modeling.

Acting Career

Discovered by an agent in 1998, Jason’s on-screen career quickly gained momentum. Initially dabbling in modeling for the fashion brand French Connection, he earned his first significant break when Guy Ritchie cast him in “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels,” a film that brought in over $80 million at the box office, marking the beginning of his Hollywood journey. Statham reunited with Ritchie for the role of Turkish in the 2000 film “Snatch,” alongside stars Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro, which also grossed over $80 million. Throughout the early 2000s, Statham featured in various films such as “The One” and “Ghosts of Mars,” but his role in “The Transporter” catapulted him to stardom. He insisted on performing all his own stunts for this movie and undertook training in karate, Wing Chun kung fu, and kickboxing for the part. “The Transporter” ultimately led to two sequels, a reboot, and a television adaptation. In 2005, Ritchie cast him once again in “Revolver,” although it turned out to be a critical and financial disappointment. Statham redeemed himself in 2008 with his performances in “The Bank Job” and “Death Race,” earning widespread acclaim and solidifying his status as a full-fledged action star.

In 2010, he featured in “The Expendables,” an ensemble action movie that also starred Sylvester Stallone and Mickey Rourke, which debuted at #1 in the U.S., UK, China, and India. The following year, Statham appeared in “The Mechanic,” receiving positive reviews. He returned to British cinema with a role in the police drama “Blitz.” Around this period, he also starred in “The Italian Job” and “Cellular,” where he took on the role of the primary antagonist. His subsequent film, “Killer Elite,” faced critical backlash and performed poorly box office-wise. In 2012, he reprised his role in the sequel to “The Expendables,” and in 2014, appeared in “The Expendables 3.” Despite the sequels receiving negative reviews, they were still financial successes. Statham showcased his comedic talents in the action-comedy “Spy,” which featured a star-studded cast including Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, and Rose Byrne, earning him a nomination for a Critic’s Choice Award for best comedic actor.

The sequel to his 2011 film “The Mechanic” opened in late 2016 under the title “Mechanic: Resurrection.” It proved to be a major success, bringing in over $109.4 million globally. In February 2017, he co-starred with Gal Gadot in a Wix.com advertisement for Super Bowl LI, which garnered more than 22 million user impressions. Although “Spy 2” was confirmed in 2018, director Paul Feig mentioned that the studio has not shown any interest in developing the project. In the action horror film “The Meg,” released in August 2018, Statham took on the lead role of Captain Jonas Taylor.

Additionally, Statham has featured in three “Fast and Furious” films, reprising his role of Deckhard Shaw in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.” The film was critically acclaimed and achieved significant commercial success, ranking as the tenth highest-grossing film of 2019. He rejoined the franchise in “F9” (2021) and “Fast X” (2023). Furthermore, Statham returned as Jonas Taylor in “Meg 2: The Trench” in 2023.

Personal Life

Since 2010, Jason has been in a relationship with model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. They got engaged in 2016 and welcomed their first child in 2017, followed by a daughter in February 2022. The family currently lives in Beverly Hills.

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

Advocating for stunt performers to have their own category at the Academy Awards, Statham highlighted in 2015 the underappreciated talent in that field. Outside of work, he enjoys various activities such as rock climbing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, and jet skiing.

Real Estate

In 2009, Jason paid $10.6 million for an oceanfront property in Malibu, California, which he sold for $18.5 million in January 2020.

He purchased a home in Hollywood Hills from Ben Stiller in 2011 for $7.3 million and later sold it for $9.2 million in 2015 to Johnny Galecki, a star of “The Big Bang Theory.” This property had earlier been owned by the legendary session drummer Hal Blaine.

In 2015, Statham and Rosie acquired a home above the Sunset Strip for $2.7 million, which he listed in 2020 for $7 million after renovations. Their main residence is another mansion in Beverly Hills, which they bought for $13 million.
