Mel Gibson — Net Worth and Career Earnings
Mel Gibson has an estimated net worth of $425 million as of 2026. He self-financed The Passion of the Christ for approximately $30 million after studios declined to back it, and the 2004 film grossed $612 million worldwide — generating approximately $300 million in personal profit. Braveheart (1995) won him two Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director. His Lethal Weapon franchise (four films) grossed over $900 million combined. A 2006 DUI arrest and antisemitic remarks effectively froze his career for nearly a decade before Hacksaw Ridge (2016) earned him a Best Director Oscar nomination in one of Hollywood's most discussed comebacks.
