With appearances in all four Expendables films, action hero Jason Statham has established himself as one of the most profitable actors in the franchise. Statham has become a fan favorite in the action genre thanks to his high-octane thrillers such as The Transporter, Crank, The Bank Job, and Safe. At 56, he is still dominating the box office with roles in lucrative action franchises such as The Meg, Fast & Furious, and, of course, The Expendables.

Statham is said to have earned $25 million for his role as Lee Christmas in the fourth film of The Expendables, well above Sylvester Stallone’s compensation. This significant compensation disparity shows that Statham has emerged as the franchise’s new face, and he will almost certainly expect a similarly high salary for any future Expendables films. While the exact details of Statham’s compensation for the first three films are unknown, it is estimated that he earned between $8 and $12 million for each installment of the original trilogy, totaling around $52 million for the entire franchise, based on his earnings from other films at the time.
According to Forbes, Jason Statham’s net worth is roughly $120 million as of November 2023. He gets approximately $13 million per film in which he appears. His most lucrative assignments include cameos in The Expendables 4, The Meg, and the Fast & Furious franchise as Deckard Shaw. Statham’s net worth is increased by his investments in real estate and the stock market, as well as his valuables, which include a $7 million Los Angeles mansion, a Ferrari, and a McLaren. Statham’s net worth is projected to expand in the future, with appearances in Fast X: Part 2 and possible future Expendables ventures.
