Australian actor and producer, Hugh Jackman has an estimated net worth of $100 million. A star in his native Australia thanks to his work in television and musical theatre, actor Hugh Jackman became known to American audiences through his role as Logan/Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s lavish adaptation of the popular Marvel comic X-Men (2000).
Born in Sydney on 12 October 1968 to English parents, Jackman grew up as the youngest of five children. After earning a communications degree in journalism from Sydney’s University of Technology, he enrolled at the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts, where he studied drama. The budding actor received his first big break shortly after graduation when he was offered a leading role in the popular TV series Corelli; his casting proved doubly fortuitous, as it introduced him to his future wife, actress Deborra-lee Furness, with whom he has a son.
Jackman went on to star in numerous other TV series – and also began earning recognition for his work on stage in productions such as Beauty and the Beast, Sunset Boulevard and Trevor Nunn’s acclaimed Royal National Theatre production Oklahoma!, the latter of which saw the actor give an Olivier-nominated performance as Curly MacLaine. In 1999, a year after being nominated for an Olivier, Jackman was honoured again, this time with a Best Actor nomination from the Australian Film Institute for his role as a man estranged from his brother in the urban drama Erskineville Kings. The actor’s winning streak continued when he was hired to replace Dougray Scott as Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s high-profile adaptation of X-Men. Jackman’s growing international popularity was reflected by his casting in Tony Goldwyn’s film Someone Like You, a romantic comedy also starring Ashley Judd and Greg Kinnear. Jackman was hard to ignore in 2001, just a few months later he appeared in John Travolta’s latest comeback, Swordfish.
