From an Actor No One Knew to a Fortune in Millions: It Could Only Be Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth’s Fortune comes not only from his enormous acting salary but also from advertising and real estate investments. After more than two decades in Hollywood, Chris Hemsworth has become one of the most prominent faces in the film capital. The Australian actor boasts an impressive career with over 20 films, including billion-dollar blockbusters and dozens of TV series. Some of his notable projects include Star Trek, Thor, Ghostbusters, and especially Avengers: Endgame.
Recently, the star, born in 1983, impressed audiences again by starring in Warner Bros.‘ blockbuster Furiosa, the prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road. In the film, Hemsworth portrays Dementus, a ruthless, eccentric warlord, a character starkly different from his previous roles. His salary for the role was 2 million USD, surpassing that of lead actress Anya Taylor-Joy (1.8 million USD). This amount does not include any profits or bonuses from contracts.
As of 2024, Chris Hemsworth‘s net worth is estimated at 130 million USD, with acting accounting for 72-92 million USD of that total. In addition to acting, he earns from advertising deals and other business ventures. However, his largest income source remains his contract with Marvel Studios. So far, Hemsworth has appeared in 8 superhero projects within the MCU, from Thor (2011) to Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). His salary for Thor was 150,000 USD, but for Thor: Love and Thunder, he earned a staggering 20 million USD.
Beyond acting and advertising, Chris Hemsworth has made substantial investments in real estate, primarily in Australia. He currently resides in a luxurious mansion valued at 30 million USD, where he spent 15 million USD on construction and an additional 500,000 USD on landscaping. In November 2021, Hemsworth purchased a 1,300-acre property in northeastern Tasmania for 15 million USD. Earlier, in 2013, he spent nearly 5 million USD to buy a home in Point Dume, Malibu.
In the coming months, Chris Hemsworth will have a busy schedule with several film and television projects. Some of his upcoming notable works include Transformers One, Extraction 3, Avengers 5, Thor 5, and a crossover project between Transformers/G.I. Joe.
