There is not a single genre he has not mastered, making him an international sensation, especially through his surreal embodiment of Marvel’s Wolverine. However, heroism is only half of his brand, as over the years, he has also gained respect for his philanthropy, caused a stir with romantic escapades, and had a heartbreaking divorce.

Hugh Jackman’s net worth in 2025: How much is he worth?

Fans probably wonder how rich their favorite Wolverine is in real life. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hugh Jackman holds a net worth of a whopping $120 million as of 2025. His meteoric rise to becoming a multi-millionaire star comes down to several back‑end profits, stage income, high-end brand collaborations, and real estate, though not solely based on blockbuster paychecks. Certain deals with production houses also add a portion of his movies’ box office profit to his wallet.

While it is reported that Jackman made over $100 million just by playing Wolverine in the X-Men series, his other blockbusters, such as Les Misérables, Real Steel, The Greatest Showman, and more, have added to his financial success.

Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine a total of nine times, with his most gut-wrenching end being in 2017’s Logan, and the most exciting comeback being in Marvel’s 2024 blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine. The movie was a huge money spinner, one of the most profitable contracts of his career. He reportedly received a base salary of $20 million, as reported by The Things. However, the real kicker is his backend profits, with the movie raking in more than $1.3 billion worldwide, his overall remuneration could have surpassed $30 million. 

This Deadpool & Wolverine effect not only cemented his box office consistency but also increased his net worth. Today, he is one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, after having reinvented the clawed mutant as his most lucrative role to date.
