Jason Statham’s Net Worth and Salary: What Is It?

With a net worth of $90 million, Jason Statham is a British actor. Throughout his extensive career spanning several decades, his numerous films have collectively grossed approximately $2 billion at the global box office. Today, he stands among the highest-paid action stars worldwide, frequently commanding over $10 million for leading roles. Together with his long-time partner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, their combined net worth reaches $120 million. Despite being together since 2010, they have not officially married.

Early Life

Born on July 26, 1967, in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England, Jason Statham spent his childhood in Great Yarmouth, a coastal town in England. His mother, Eileen, worked as a dancer, while his father, Barry, engaged in selling goods on the streets. Statham played football at the local grammar school. Prior to achieving fame as an action star, Jason initially aimed for a career in diving, serving for twelve years in Britain’s National Diving Squad. He was part of the British Olympic team that went to Seoul, Korea, in 1988, and he represented England in diving at the 1990 Commonwealth Games. After facing underwhelming results at both the Olympic Trials and Championships, he opted to pursue acting and modeling instead.

The Acting Career

In 1998, an agent discovered Jason, and his on-screen career began rapidly. He also dabbled in modeling early on, working for the clothing brand French Connection before catching the eye of Guy Ritchie. Ritchie cast him in the movie “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels,” which raked in over $80 million in box office revenue and marked the beginning of Jason’s Hollywood journey. Statham collaborated once more with Guy Ritchie, taking on the character of Turkish in the 2000 film “Snatch,” alongside Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro, which also earned over $80 million at the box office. During the early 2000s, he starred in various films such as “The One” and “Ghosts of Mars,” but it was the action film “The Transporter” that truly skyrocketed his fame. Opting to perform all his own stunts, he studied karate, Wing Chun kung fu, and kickboxing to prepare for this role. “The Transporter” eventually led to two sequels, a reboot, and a television series. In 2005, Ritchie offered Statham a leading role again in “Revolver,” but it turned out to be both a critical and box office disappointment. A shift occurred in 2008 when his performances in “The Bank Job” and “Death Race” received widespread acclaim and solidified his status as a full-fledged action star.

By 2010, Statham featured in “The Expendables,” an ensemble action film alongside Sylvester Stallone and Mickey Rourke, which debuted at #1 in the U.S., UK, China, and India. His next project in 2011, “The Mechanic,” received favorable reviews. Statham returned to British cinema with the police drama “Blitz.” During this period, he appeared in films like “The Italian Job” and “Cellular,” where he played the lead antagonist. His subsequent film, “Killer Elite,” was harshly criticized and failed to recoup its budget. Statham reprised his role in the sequel to “The Expendables” in 2012, and in 2014, he starred in “The Expendables 3.” While the sequels faced critical backlash, they still performed strongly at the box office. Showing off his comedic talent, he participated in the action-comedy “Spy,” featuring an ensemble cast that included Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, and Rose Byrne. For his performance, he received a nomination for the Critic’s Choice Award for best comedic actor.

In late 2016, the follow-up to the 2011 movie “The Mechanic” premiered as “Mechanic: Resurrection.” It became a financial success, earning over $109.4 million globally. In February 2017, he featured alongside Gal Gadot in a Wix.com commercial for Super Bowl LI, which garnered over 22 million user impressions. The confirmation of “Spy 2” came in 2018; however, director Paul Feig mentioned that there hasn’t been significant interest from the studio regarding the project. Statham portrayed Captain Jonas Taylor in “The Meg,” an action horror film that hit theaters in August 2018.

Statham has had roles in three “Fast and Furious” installments and reprised his character Deckhard Shaw in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.” His performance received critical acclaim, and the film performed exceptionally well at the box office, ranking as the tenth highest-grossing film of 2019. He made a return to the franchise in 2021’s “F9” and 2023’s “Fast X.” Additionally, in 2023, he took on his role as Jonas Taylor again in “Meg 2: The Trench.”

Personal Life

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

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

In 2015, he championed the cause for stunt performers to receive their own category at the Academy Awards, emphasizing that their talent often goes unrecognized. During his leisure time, Jason enjoys activities such as rock climbing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, and jet skiing.

Real Estate

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

He acquired a Hollywood Hills property from Ben Stiller in 2011 for $7.3 million and later sold it in 2015 for $9.2 million to Johnny Galecki from “The Big Bang Theory.” Previously, this residence was owned by the renowned session drummer Hal Blaine.

In 2015, Jason and Rosie invested $2.7 million in a home situated above the Sunset Strip. He put this renovated property on the market in 2020 for $7 million. Their primary residence is situated down the road in Beverly Hills, which cost them $13 million.
