Net Worth: $20 Million
What Is Brendan Fraser’s Net Worth?
photoworksmedia / Depositphotos.comBrendan Fraser’s net worth of $20 million is a far cry from the days when he could comment $10 million to $15 million per film role. With more than 70 acting credits to his name and several award-winning films under his belt, Fraser has conquered Hollywood, stepped back, and is once again re-emerging as a fan favorite.
While many of our celebrity net worth totals are based on educated estimates, we know exactly where Brendan Fraser’s net worth sat in 2009. During his divorce from Afton Smith, Brendan’s lawyers revealed that he had $17,814,549.50. He paid his ex-wife $8,689,132 during the settlement and newly filed documents in 2013 showed his total asset holdings to be $26,966,959.34 with $2,230,224.92 worth of liabilities.
Based on his court filing, in 2013, Fraser had a net worth of $24,736,000.
Because Fraser stepped away from Hollywood for over a decade, his net worth naturally took a hit, but he’s recently started acting in various new roles and his cash on hand is likely increasing quickly now that he’s earning rave reviews for his newest acting work.
How Much Did Brendan Fraser Earn From Movies?
PopularImages / Depositphotos.comDuring the height of his career, Brendan Fraser was making $10 million to $15 million per film. His lead role in the Mummy movie series showcased the actor’s ability to draw in huge crowds and just a handful of films helped Brendan Fraser’s net worth increase by nearly $60 million.
| Movie Title | Year | Earnings |
|---|---|---|
| The Scout | 1994 | $1.5 Million |
| The Mummy | 1999 | $4.0 Million |
| Dudley Do-Right | 1999 | $4.0 Million |
| Bedazzled | 2000 | $10.0 Million |
| The Mummy Returns | 2001 | $12.5 Million |
| The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor | 2008 | $14.0 Million |
| Furry Vengeance | 2010 | $10.0 Million |
| Extraordinary Measures | 2010 | $1.0 Million |
| Total Earnings | $57.0 million |
Just for the three Mummy movies, Brendan Fraser’s net worth increased by $30.5 million.
During the height of his career, Fraser also starred in Encino Man, George Of The Jungle, Blast from the Past, and Journey to the Center of the Earth, among other films.
It was claimed that for his role in 2022’s “The Whale,” Fraser was paid $12 million, although the studio that produced the film has not confirmed that total.
Given his commanding salary requirements and A-list status at the time of his biggest movies, it’s likely that Fraser earned close to $100 million from his film work leading up to his long hiatus from Hollywood.
He Sold A Home For $2+ Million In Profit
While Brendan Fraser hasn’t gone down the home purchasing rabbit hole we often see with A-list celebrities, he had at least one purchase that netted more than $2 million in profit.
In 1996 Frasher and then wife Afton purchased a 4,000-square-foot Beverly Hills home for $675,000. In 2007 they sold the home for $3 million, netting around $2.3 million in profit.
Outside of that home sale, Fraser has remained very private about his living situation, just as he has with many other parts of his life.
Brendan Fraser’s Divorce Caused His Net Worth To Decrease
s_bukley / Depositphotos.comAs we briefly mentioned, we learned about Brendan Fraser’s net worth in 2009 when he was going through a divorce with his now ex-wife.
In 2009, Brendan Fraser’s divorce settlement required him to pay $900,000 annually in alimony and child support for his three sons with ex-wife Afton Smith. In 2013, he sought a reduction in his $50,000 monthly alimony, citing a decline in his acting income and substantial monthly expenses exceeding earnings. Afton accused him of hiding film contracts and claimed his assets were $24.7 million in December 2012.
To meet the court-ordered payments, Brendan had to earn around $2 million yearly before taxes, as his settlement dictated no reduction unless his annual earnings fell below $3 million. His spousal support ended in 2019, closing this chapter of his financial challenges.
Based on the court order, Fraser’s net worth likely decreased between $5 million and $9 million during the 10 years in which he was paying spousal and child support.
With his injuries and divorce behind him, Brendan Fraser’s net worth is likely to increase at its fastest rate in years. Fraser has returned to acting and he’s showing no signs of slowing down with four upcoming movies on the horizon.
