Action star Jason Statham is one of the four actors who has starred in all four Expendables movies, which also makes him among the most profitable of the franchise. Statham has become a fan-favorite of the action genre with his signature style of high-octane thrillers such as The Transporter (2002), Crank (2006), The Bank Job (2008), and Safe (2012). The 56-year-old actor is still at the top of his game starring in several high-grossing action movie franchises including The Meg, Fast & Furious, and The Expendables.
In the Expendables movies, Statham plays an expertly skilled knife expert and hand-to-hand combat fighter named Lee Christmas. Christmas is the right-hand man and best friend of Barney Ross, the team leader of the Expendables played by Sylvester Stallone. Statham has starred in dozens of movies since making his film debut with 1998’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Statham’s breakout role in Guy Ritchie’s Snatch (2000) was just the second movie of his career for which he only earned $18,000 from his starring role as a boxing promoter named Turkish.
Jason Statham Made Approximately $52 Million For The Expendables Movies
Statham was reportedly the highest paid actor of Expend4bles, raking in a massive $25 million payday for reprising Lee Christmas in the 2023 film. This shockingly surpassed Sylvester Stallone’s salary by a wide margin, who made just $3 million in his expected final appearance as Barney Ross. The staggering disparity between Statham’s salary and those of the rest of the crew clearly indicates that Statham is truly the new face of the franchise and will likely be paid in a similar elite pay range for Expendables 5, which has yet to be confirmed.
There is no public record of how much Statham officially made from the first three Expendables movies. Since the action star made $12 million from 2011’s The Mechanic and $9 million from 2008’s Death Race, it can be estimated that Statham made roughly $8-12 million for each movie of the Expendables original trilogy. The exact details of Statham’s deal for the Expendables films between 2010-2014 remain undisclosed, but through the context of his other salaries for his roles at that time, it’s estimated that he made a total of $52 million for all four films in the Expendables franchise.
What Jason Statham’s Current Net Worth Is
As of November 2023, Jason Statham’s net work is approximately $120 million (via Forbes). On averages, the actor earns roughly $13 million per movie that he stars in. Statham’s most profitable roles include his characters in Expend4ables, The Meg, and his appearances as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise. Statham also has several investments in real estate and the stock market which amplifies his net worth as well as a $7 million Los Angeles home, a Ferrari, and a McLeron. With expected appearances in Fast X: Part 2 and possibly future Expendables projects, Statham’s net worth should increase even further in time.
