The highest officially documented figure in Jason Statham’s financial history is £5,491,981.
It is the shareholders’ equity of a company he owns outright, at 31 May 2014 — filed at the British companies register and signed by him as director.
Everything published about his wealth is an estimate. This is a number he put his name to.
Jason Statham Net Worth: Why We Publish No Figure
- Estimates run $90m to $120m — and the highest is attributed to a publication that has never published one
- His most-quoted fee has no named source, and the figures around it are openly labelled guesses
- Our take: no verified figure — but 25 years of filed accounts, every one linkable. See our methodology.
Twenty-Five Years of Accounts
He is British, and he has run a personal service company since June 2000. Small companies must file a balance sheet even though they need not file a profit and loss account. That gives a continuous series no competitor has.
| Year to 31 May | Equity |
|---|---|
| 2001 | £200 — dormant |
| 2002 | £22,118 — first trading year |
| 2003 | £193,108 |
| 2014 | £1,184,019 |
| 2019 | £1,866,088 |
| 2020 | £448,400 |
| 2025 | £432,477 |
The 2002 figure is the interesting one. It is his first trading year, immediately after the two films that made him — and the company held £35,490 in the bank.
£3.36 Million in Three Years — Then a Fall Nobody Can Explain
A second company, also wholly his, holds the strongest number in the file.
Its retained profits rose from £2,128,579 in May 2011 to £5,491,881 in May 2014 — an increase of £3,363,302 in three years, with £4,835,690 sitting in the bank.
That is a floor, not a total. Retained profit is what was left after tax and after anything paid out — so the money actually earned in those years was higher.
Then, in the year to May 2015, retained profits fell by £3,115,161 while short-term liabilities jumped from £710,360 to £5,394,695.
We cannot tell you why, and we will not pretend otherwise. A company this size files no profit and loss account, so a large distribution and a large loss look identical from outside. The reversal is documented; its cause is not.
Across all his companies, equity peaked at roughly £6.68 million in 2014 and stands at about £302,700 today.
This does not disprove a nine-figure fortune — his income and property are plainly American. What it shows is that none of the circulating figures has any balance sheet behind it.
A Company Nobody Has Reported
Among his eleven appointments is one that appears in no press coverage anywhere.
Registered in 2022, it trades in clothing and footwear, and Statham holds more than half of it. His co-owner is the founder of a well-known technical apparel label — a connection previously reported only as personal enthusiasm, never as a shareholding.
It is losing money. Accumulated losses of £622,424 and negative equity of the same order, against long-term creditors of £794,540.
Two honesty flags on this one. The filed accounts carry an unresolved software error note stating that a posting will not agree to the balance sheet. And the prior year was restated, from −£760,007 to −£605,892. We report the figures as filed, with their defects visible.
A 2023 construction company shows a similar shape: a £3.5 million balance sheet against equity of just £24,150 — almost entirely financed by borrowing rather than capital.
A Property That Left the Books
His service company bought freehold property in the year to May 2014: £1,214,963 in cost plus £229,784 of improvements.
In the year to May 2020 it was disposed of in full — and the company’s equity fell from £1,866,088 to £448,400 in the same period.
The sale price is not in the register. Consideration is never recorded, so we know the asset left and roughly when, and nothing about what it fetched.
The Structure of a Licensing Deal, Without His Number
In August 2015 a listed games company announced an exclusive multi-year partnership with him — with no figure.
But its annual report describes the shape of these arrangements, and it is unusually favourable:
- An average royalty of 21.9% of gross revenues — not net
- Plus minimum guarantees that do not depend on revenue at all
- Plus warrants over the company’s own shares
He is one of six celebrity licensors in that pool, and his share is nowhere broken out. The figure must not be attributed to him — but the type of deal is documented, and gross participation with a guaranteed floor is the best structure available.
The sequel is instructive: the following year the company wrote off $29.8 million of prepaid royalties on underperforming titles. Guarantees get paid whether or not the product sells.
The One Estimate With a Method
The gap between those two numbers is only 5% — and the same article explains why. He can command $20 million or more per role, “all while operating without the representation of an agent or manager.”
That internal consistency is what makes the estimate credible. Most actors lose 20–25% to agent, manager and lawyer. His deduction is a lawyer’s alone.
Two corrections, though. This is annual earnings, not wealth — a different quantity entirely. And it is the 2024 list: the figure circulates as “Forbes 2025”, while the list published in 2026 for 2025 does not include him at all.
The $25 Million Fee With No Source
The most-repeated fee attributed to him is $25 million for a 2023 action sequel.
It traces to a single article that introduces it with “reportedly” and names no source. The same piece then admits the terms of the three earlier films “remain undisclosed” — and offers $8–12 million each as, in its own words, an estimate.
The four figures sum to $52 million, and the entire series is now quoted as fact across a dozen sites.
The wealth figures fare no better. One puts him at $120 million “via Forbes” — Forbes publishes no net worth for him at all. Another states $100 million as flat fact, while carrying on the same page a “total earnings” line of $1.2 million, left over from an older data structure.
And the property attribution repeats a pattern we have now documented three times: a house reported as the couple’s is counted as his — listed at $19.95 million and sold for $19.9 million, while the aggregator rounds it to “$20M” and treats the asking price as achieved.
What Could Not Be Established
Any film fee, from any source. Not one is documented anywhere.
A widely cited $50 million-plus figure for a 2025 sequel is a rights purchase price paid by a distributor for worldwide rights — not his income — and is itself hedged as “pegged by sources.”
Controlled nulls that hold: zero registered charges across all eleven of his companies — no mortgages, no debentures — tested against a listed retailer showing nine. No trademark transfer or security interest in his name; the 31 register hits under his surname all belong to a sensor manufacturer. And no British court judgment mentions him, against 27 for the surname generally.
Blocked, not empty: the trademark ownership search is unreachable, so whether he holds marks at all is unresolved — only that none has been transferred or pledged. Court opinion full texts now require a token.
The Bottom Line
Documented: £5,491,981 of equity at the 2014 peak, £3.36 million of retained profit built in three years, a £3.1 million reversal the accounts cannot explain, a property bought for £1.44 million and disposed of six years later, a loss-making clothing venture nobody has reported, and £302,700 of British equity today.
Not documented: a single film fee.
The best-evidenced thing anyone can say about his earnings comes from a footnote: he works without an agent or a manager. On a $25 million year, that is worth more than most people’s salaries.

But its annual report describes the shape of such arrangements: an average royalty of 21.9 per cent of gross revenues rather than net, plus minimum guarantees independent of revenue, plus warrants over the company's own shares.

The five per cent gap is the finding: the same article notes he can command $20 million or more per role while operating without the representation of an agent or manager.

This does not disprove a nine-figure fortune - his income and property are plainly American, and none of that appears in a British register.

What is Jason Statham's net worth in 2026?
No verified figure exists. Circulating estimates run from $90 million to $120 million, and the highest is attributed to a publication that has never published a net worth for him at all. Another states $100 million as flat fact while carrying, on the same page, a total earnings line of $1.2 million left over from an older data structure. What can be documented instead is 25 years of filed British company accounts: equity across his companies peaked at roughly £6.68 million in 2014 and stands at about £302,700 today. That does not disprove a nine-figure fortune, since his income and property are plainly American - but it does show that none of the circulating figures has a balance sheet behind it.
What is the highest officially documented figure for Jason Statham?
£5,491,981 - the shareholders' equity of a company he owns outright, at 31 May 2014, filed at the British companies register and signed by him as director. The same company's retained profits rose from £2,128,579 in May 2011 to £5,491,881 in May 2014, an increase of £3,363,302 in three years, with £4,835,690 in the bank. That increase is a floor rather than a total: retained profit is what remained after tax and after anything paid out, so the money actually earned in those years was higher.
Why did his company's reserves collapse in 2015?
We cannot say, and we will not pretend otherwise. In the year to May 2015 retained profits fell by £3,115,161 while short-term liabilities jumped from £710,360 to £5,394,695. A company that size files no profit and loss account, which means a large distribution and a large loss look identical from outside. The reversal is documented; its cause is not. Separately, his personal service company held freehold property acquired in the year to May 2014 for £1,214,963 plus £229,784 of improvements, and disposed of it in full in the year to May 2020 - with no sale price recorded, because consideration is never entered in the register.
How much was Jason Statham paid for Expend4bles?
The $25 million everyone quotes has no named source. It traces to a single article that introduces the figure with reportedly and cites nobody, then admits in the same text that the terms of the three earlier films remain undisclosed - and offers $8 to 12 million each as, in its own words, an estimate. Those four numbers sum to $52 million and the whole series now circulates as fact across a dozen sites. No film fee of his is documented anywhere, from any source. A separate figure of more than $50 million attached to a 2025 sequel is a distributor's purchase price for worldwide rights, not his income, and is itself hedged as pegged by sources.
What does Forbes say about Jason Statham's earnings?
It placed him 13th among actors for 2024 at $25 million gross and $24 million after representation fees. The gap between those two numbers is only five per cent, and the same article explains why: he can command $20 million or more per role, all while operating without the representation of an agent or manager. Most actors lose 20 to 25 per cent to agent, manager and lawyer; his deduction is a lawyer's alone, and that internal consistency is what makes the estimate credible. Two corrections though: this is annual earnings rather than wealth, a different quantity entirely, and it is the 2024 list - the figure circulates as Forbes 2025, while the list published in 2026 covering 2025 does not include him at all.
