With a net worth of $90 million, Jason Statham is a British actor whose films have collectively grossed around $2 billion globally throughout his extensive career spanning several decades. As one of the highest-paid action stars today, he can earn upwards of $10 million for a single film where he assumes the lead role. Together with his long-time partner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, their combined net worth reaches $120 million, even though they have been together since 2010 without officially marrying.

Early Life

Jason Statham was born on July 26, 1967, in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England. His childhood was spent in Great Yarmouth, a coastal town. His mother, Eileen, made a living as a dancer, while his father, Barry, sold goods on the street. Statham showcased his football skills at the local grammar school. Before achieving fame as an action star, he dedicated twelve years of his life to diving, becoming a member of Britain’s National Diving Squad. He participated in the British Olympic team in Seoul, Korea, in 1988 and represented England in diving at the 1990 Commonwealth Games. After facing disappointing results at both Olympic Trials and Championships, he chose to pivot towards acting and modeling.

Acting Career

In 1998, an agent discovered Jason, leading to the rapid launch of his on-screen career. He initially dabbled in modeling for the French Connection clothing brand before catching the eye of Guy Ritchie, who cast him in “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.” This film garnered over $80 million in box office receipts, propelling Jason into Hollywood. He teamed up again with Guy Ritchie in 2000 for “Snatch,” starring alongside Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro, which also earned over $80 million. Throughout the early 2000s, he appeared in various films, including “The One” and “Ghosts of Mars.” However, it was “The Transporter” that truly made him a household name. For this role, he insisted on performing all his stunts and prepared by studying karate, Wing Chun kung fu, and kickboxing. “The Transporter” resulted in two sequels, a reboot, and a television adaptation. In 2005, Statham starred in Ritchie’s “Revolver,” which unfortunately failed both critically and at the box office. Nevertheless, his performances in “The Bank Job” and “Death Race” in 2008 earned him significant acclaim, solidifying his status as a prominent action star.

Statham took part in “The Expendables” in 2010, an ensemble action film featuring Sylvester Stallone and Mickey Rourke. The film debuted at number one in markets like the U.S., UK, China, and India. In 2011, he starred in “The Mechanic,” which received positive reviews. Transitioning back to British cinema, he acted in the police drama “Blitz.” Around that period, Jason featured in “The Italian Job” and “Cellular,” taking on the role of the lead antagonist. His subsequent film, “Killer Elite,” was critically panned and failed to recover its budget. In 2012, he reprised his role in the sequel of “The Expendables,” and in 2014, he would again appear in “The Expendables 3.” While these sequels received poor critical reception, they were still successful at the box office. Statham exhibited his comedic talents in the action-comedy “Spy,” which boasted an all-star cast including Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, and Rose Byrne, earning him a nomination for a Critic’s Choice Award for best comedic actor due to his performance.

“Mechanic: Resurrection,” the sequel to his 2011 film “The Mechanic,” premiered in late 2016 and achieved over $109.4 million in worldwide box office revenue. In February 2017, Statham starred alongside Gal Gadot in a Wix.com advertisement for Super Bowl LI, which garnered more than 22 million user impressions. Although “Spy 2” was announced in 2018, director Paul Feig indicated that there has been no interest from the studio regarding the project. In August 2018, he starred as Captain Jonas Taylor in the action horror film “The Meg.”

The actor has been featured in three installments of the “Fast and Furious” franchise, reprising his role as Deckhard Shaw in “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.” His performance received critical acclaim, and the film proved to be a commercial success, ranking as the tenth highest-grossing film of 2019. Statham returned to the franchise with appearances in “F9” in 2021 and “Fast X” in 2023. Additionally, he reprised his role as Jonas Taylor in “Meg 2: The Trench” in 2023.
