Following Russell Crowe's controversial remarks earlier this week, where he stated that the only reason actresses don't get roles past a certain age was because they didn't act their age, many have turned their eye to Helen Mirren's net worth, who is, alongside Meryl Streep, one of the most successful older actresses in the world.
Mirren will hit the 70 mark later this year (on July 26, as she was born in 1945), and she's still considered one of the most prominent actresses in the world, having won many awards for films over the course of the last few decades, something that has greatly increased Helen Mirren's net worth.
According to The Telegraph, Russell Crowe has become the subject of controversy yet again after the actor slammed older actresses for complaining that there were no good roles for women their age, by saying it wasn't because there weren't any roles but rather because they failed to act their age, pointing out that Helen Mirren's net worth has grown considerably as years go by, as well as that of American multi award-winning actress Meryl Streep.
Coincidentally, both actresses have recently won Oscars for portraying powerful British women in the 20th century: Mirren won her first and only Academy Award in 2007 for playing Queen Elizabeth II in the movie about Diana of Wales' death "The Queen" and Streep won her third Oscar for playing former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady" in 2012.
In any case, Helen Mirren's net worth is considerably high, but this has a lot to do with the fact that she's been consistently working for different mediums in the last five decades, as she's famous for her stage, film and television work.
According to specialized website Celebrity Net Worth, Helen Mirren's net worth currently stands at $50 million dollars - considerably but, of course, not nearly as big as that of her most famous role, Queen Elizabeth!
