The English actor, Hugh John Mungo Grant, has a huge fortune but considers it insufficient to distribute among his five children from two relationships. The sixty-three-year-old began his career as a vulnerable romantic leading character and turned into a character actor over the years.
Grant considered acting only a creative outlet and graduated in English literature. He met Elizabeth Hurley on the set of Remando Al Viento (1988) and could not hide his relationship from the media. They split in 2000.
Grant dated the Swedish producer Anna Eberstein for several years and married her in 2018. He expressed his happiness after being a father of three with Anna in 2018. Little did he know what struggle was waiting for him.
Between these two relationships, Grant was linked to the alleged Chinese restaurant receptionist, Tinglan Hong. People caught them getting affectionate publicly. Grant did not associate with her during her first pregnancy and claimed he did it to avoid the media circus. He also claimed that the hospital staff was paid to leak their details.
Hugh Grant’s Net Worth
Hugh Grant’s Net Worth is $150 million as of December 2023. The films he appeared in grossed $3 billion internationally in 2018. He began charging $7 million to $10 million for every film by the late 90s.
Grant’s annual income is over $15 million, and his monthly income is over $1 million. He earns over $3,00,000 through royalty, while his assets cost over $22 million. His net worth increased over time. For instance, it was $95 million in 2018, $105 million in 2019, $115 million in 2020, $125 million in 2021, and $140 million in 2022.
Grant became an overnight international star through the British romantic comedy movie Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), for which he charged $100 thousand. Moreover, it became the highest-grossing British movie to date, collecting $363 million internationally.
Grant portrayed the charming womanizer named Daniel Cleaver in an international hit, Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), which grossed $281 internationally. He charged $12.5 million for Two Weeks Notice (2002), which received poor reviews but grossed $199 million internationally.
Grant plays leading and supporting roles and charges up to $10 million for the former and $5 million for the latter. He was arrested and ordered to pay a fine of $1,180 for receiving sexual pleasure from a prostitute in Los Angeles in June 1995. Further, he was sent on probation and had to complete an AIDS education program.
Grant was paid $7.5 million for the romantic comedy film Notting Hill (1999), the same amount for the romantic comedy crime film Mickey Blue Eyes (1999), and $5 million for the live-action animated film Paddington 2 (2017). He got $10 million for playing Oompa Loompa in Wonka (2023).
Hugh Grant’s Expenditures
In December 2023, Grant stated that he worked in films when he was supposed to retire. Moreover, he recently portrayed Oompa Loompa in a film called Wonka, which hit the theatres on 15 December 2023 in the US.
Grant shared how uncomfortable he was with the mounting cameras and motion capture apparatuses while portraying his CGI-enhanced character in Wonka. He already knew CGI was not his cup of tea and could not hide his frustration on the set because he did not know what changes CGI would make to his character.
However, Grant kept working because he had to earn for his five children from two relationships. Even his fortune of $150 million is inadequate for them. He purchased a mansion worth $3 million for his ex-girlfriend, Tinglan Hong, and their two kids in 2011.
On the other hand, Grand began living with his wife, Anna Eberstein, in a house worth $13 million in 2016. Further, they vacated it and started renting it out for $10,000 per month.
Grant and Hong had an on-off relationship due to which their first daughter, Tabitha Xiao Xi, was born in September 2011, and the third child, a son, was born in December 2012. Meanwhile, Anna gave birth to Grant’s second child (a boy) in 2012 and fourth and fifth children (two daughters) in 2015 and 2018, respectively.
Grant and Anna purchased another mansion in Chelsea worth $23 million in 2019. Apart from that, Grand already owned a home worth $3 million in the Chelsea neighborhood in 2000.
Thus, Grant has dozens of properties, out of which one turned out to be an investment. For instance, Grant purchased a mansion worth $20 million in Chelsea Square in 2006 and sold it for $32 million in 2009.
Grant believes in helping society because of the bitter experiences he went through. He began raising funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care after his mother died in 2001. He supports Pancreatic Care Action and the Fynvola Foundation, which goes by his deceased mother’s name.
