Mel Gibson Net Worth
Mel Gibson is a famous Hollywood actor but not many people know that he’s also intensively investing his income from acting. Gibson’s wealth was exposed during his divorce in 2011 that ended with record-breaking settlement. His wife walked away with half of their assets. Gibson’s net worth decreased to approximately $425 million after that. His 2015 wealth is still about the same.
Gibson’s salary per movie was incredible in the last years. He repeatedly earned $25 million per film. That’s the case with Lethal Weapon 4, We Were Soldiers, The Patriot, and Signs. With his extremely high net worth, Gibson still remembers how important is charity. He donated large sums of money for example to NIDA, Healing the Children, and El Mirador Basin.
Unlike other celebrities, Mel Gibson is very active as a real estate investor. He doesn’t just own his mansion. He purchased several investment properties in Malibu, California, some other in Fiji and Costa Rica. And it looks like he’s doing well. In 2007, Gibson sold his old Tudor house in Connecticut for $40 million. He originally paid for it only $9 million in 1994. That’s a nice appreciation.
He could be even richer if it weren’t for the divorce. His marriage fell apart after his extramarital affair with beautiful Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva. After separation from his wife, Gibson publicly dated her and she gave birth to their daughter Lucia in 2009. But just one year later, Oksana and Mel broke up.
