We watch big stars twinkle up on the silver screen. As Hollywood actors shine for audiences all around the world, we wonder, ‘What do they make?’ Big money salaries for big stars vary, but even the minor celebrity’s paycheck is usually pretty nice. Over time, that wealth can accrue and a star’s net worth can grow big. In the feature film of the Broadway musical, “Les Miserables”, stars like Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway play the poor and struggling 99 percent, but in real life their financial net worth isn’t so miserable.
Hugh Jackman
He became a star when cast as Wolverine in 2000’s ‘X-Men’ directed by Bryan Singer (Superman Returns), co-starring Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: First Contact) and Famke Janssen (Goldeneye), and the temper challenged mutant super hero brought him fully into the Hollywood mainstream. He’s most known as the mildly grumpy to enraged member of Professor Xavier’s super hero club, but his talents don’t stop at acting. Jackman is a Tony award actor and singer winner for ‘The Boy From Oz’ – the musical based around singer and songwriter, and fellow Aussie, Peter Allen. He now stars in the feature film, “Les Miserables”, as the courageous Jean Valjean, and based on the Broadway musical. Jackman’s net worth is an estimated and dynamic $100 million dollars.
Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe plays so many various kinds of roles, that it’s hard to pin him down to one kind of acting style. The 48 year old Crowe burst onto the popular scene by winning a Best Actor Oscar for his touching role as a Roman gladiator in ‘Gladiator’ directed by Ridley Scott. Crowe stars opposite his Aussie countryman, Hugh Jackman, in “Les Miserables”, playing the ever vigilant Inspector Javert. Crowe has taken over the role made famous by Marlon Brado as Superman’s father, Jor-El, in the upcoming big budget movie “Man of Steel’ starring Henry Cavill. Crowe’s net worth soars at an estimated $75 million dollars.
Anne Hathaway
At only 30, Anne Hathaway is a young star, but she’s doing quite well financially. The actress first wowed audiences in a big way by starring in “The Princess Diaries”, opposite Julie Andrews (The Sound Of Music), appearing in the poignant drama, ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and then starring opposite acting veteran Meryl Streep in the ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, as eager fashionista assistant. Hathaway appears alongside Hugh Jackman as the struggling factory worker Fantine in “Les Miserables”. Hathaway’s net worth ensures she’ll never be in misery, since she’s worth an estimated and comforting $15 million dollars.
Sacha Baron Cohen
He’s known for his big, controversial movies like ‘Borat’ and ‘Bruno’ where his character improvises things or says or does most anything he wants, but Cohen is also a versatile actor who can stick to a script with the best of them. Cohen will be seen in the upcoming biopic, “Mercury”, charting Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury’s tragic life. Cohen can now be seen alongside Anne Hathaway in “Les Miserables” and Cohen’s net worth is an estimated and serious $100 million dollars. That’s a payday that even Borat would have trouble mocking.
