One of the richest people in Hollywood, Mel Gibson's net worth is probably higher than anyone would suspect, as the fallen star has amassed a large fortune well into the hundreds of millions of dollars, ever since he made it to mainstream film in the 80s.
The Australian-American actor (who has lost his accent from Down Under by now) first gained notoriety with the indie dystopian classic "Mad Max," and so Mel Gibson's net worth started to rise to reach the incredible amount it has today, years after the controversial star fell from grace after a well-publicized anti-Semitic rant.
In the past few years, Mel Gibson's net worth paychecks have come from smaller roles in films (such as being on "The Expendables 3"), except for the 2011 Jodie Foster-directed movie "The Beaver," where he played the lead character nearly 20 years to the date they both shared the screen together in "Maverick."
In fact, Mel Gibson's net worth comes from his work in more than 30 years in Hollywood, particularly as he was one of the top-billed stars in the 1990s, having starred in widely popular films at the time such as "Conspiracy Theory," the "Lethal Weapon" films and even voicing characters in a few animated films such as Disney's "Pocahontas" and "Chicken Run."
He also directed and starred in the Best Picture Oscar winner "Braveheart" and the highly controversial 2004 movie "The Passion of the Christ."
While the actor and director has been notoriously off the grid for the past few years, Mel Gibson's net worth is still among the highest in Hollywood, and many people are now turning to remember the 59 year-old now that his first big film, "Mad Mad," is getting its own remake released in a few weeks' time, starring British actor Tom Hardy.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Gibson and Hardy met once the "Inception" actor had been cast to play the role, as Hardy wanted to get Gibson's blessing, which he got ... after a very awkward lunch meeting!
Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Mel Gibson's net worth at an astounding $425 MILLION!
