Nicole Kidman Net Worth 2024

Childhood

Nicole Kidman was born in Honolulu in 1967 to Antony and Janelle Kidman. Her Hawaiian name is Hokulani. The family moved to Australia in 1970, the same year her sister Antonia was born. They lived in Longueville, a suburb of Sydney. Her parents were active in labor and women’s rights.

Nicole’s first acting role was at age six in a school play. She then took acting lessons at several theaters in Australia and learned ballet from age four to twelve. At 14, she met her best friend, actress Naomi Watts, during a casting.

Career

The Kidman family was wealthy, allowing Nicole to grow up in a high-class environment in Longueville, a rich suburb of Sydney. She started ballet at age four and took acting lessons at three drama schools after discovering her passion for acting in primary school.

Nicole’s film career began in 1983 when she starred in two feature films and two TV movies at age 16, gaining immediate success in the USA. Between 1984 and 1989, she appeared in several TV series, movies, and films, building the foundation of her fortune.

She transformed from a freckled redhead to a slim blonde, and her big break came in 1990 when she starred in “Days of Thunder” with Tom Cruise, earning $200,000. Her income grew steadily: from $250,000 per film in 1990-1992 to $500,000 in 1993, and $2-2.5 million in 1995-1996 for films such as “To Die For” and “Batman Forever.”

In 1997, she earned $5 million for “The Peacemaker” and $6.5 million in 1999 for “Eyes Wide Shut.” Her earnings continued to rise from there.

After the 2003 Oscars, Nicole Kidman Earnings From Movies

In 2001, Nicole Kidman earned $7 million for movies like “Moulin Rouge” and “The Others.” She sometimes accepted lower fees, such as $1.5 million for “Birthday Girl” and $2.8 million for Lars von Trier’s “Dogville.”

Her career took off in 2003 when she won the Oscar for Best Actress in “The Hours.” This boosted her earnings significantly. That same year, she earned $15 million for “Cold Mountain,” a fee she continued to receive for several films, including “The Golden Compass.” In some cases, “Australia” in 2008, she made a bit less at $13 million, but she often earned more.

She received $16 million for “Invasion” (2007) and $17.5 million for “Bewitched” (2005). Estimates suggest she earned around $173 million from her film roles between 1990 and 2008.

Other Sources of Income

Between 2003 and 2008, Nicole Kidman signed an advertising deal with Chanel No. 5, earning $12 million for a 3-minute commercial.

She also made money in the music industry. Between 2001 and 2009, she released several singles. Her biggest hit was “Somethin’ Stupid,” a duet with Robbie Williams in 2001, which topped the UK charts and reached the top 3 in several European countries.

Since 2008, she has acted in at least 20 more films. Even if she earned just $5 million per film, that adds up to an additional $100 million.

Nicole Kidman also returned to TV with great success. In “Big Little Lies” (since 2017), she earned between $250,000 and $1 million per episode and won an Emmy for her role. The show is produced by her own company, Blossom Films, adding to her income. She also has an endorsement deal with OMEGA for luxury watches.

In total, considering her earnings from films, ads, music, and real estate, her estimated net worth is $250 million.

Real Estate

When Nicole Kidman was young, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, which led her to actively support cancer research since 1996, spending millions on the cause.

She also spends a lot of money on maintaining her beauty, especially through Botox treatments. Most of her wealth, however, is invested in real estate. She owns a house in the Southern Highlands of Australia, a villa in Beverly Hills, California, and a property in Manhattan, New York. She and her husband, Keith Urban, also have a ranch in Nashville, Tennessee.

Car Collection

Nicole isn’t as passionate about expensive cars. She drives an Audi Q7 and a Yukon Denali, both costing under $74,000. Her focus is more on convenience, as seen in her Australian home, which has a special car elevator.

Private Life

Nicole Kidman has supported various charities for many years. Since 1994, she has been the Australian ambassador for UNICEF, promoting children’s rights. In January 2006, she became a Goodwill Ambassador for UNIFEM, focusing on women’s and children’s rights.

In November 2007, she launched the “Say No to Violence” campaign to end violence against women, encouraging people worldwide to sign a virtual petition.

Since 1996, Kidman has been part of the Women’s Health Fund at UCLA, helping with breast cancer awareness. She is also a patron of the Australian Theatre for Young People, where she studied.

For her charity work, she was named Citizen of the World by the UN in 2004 and received several awards, including the Companion of the Order of Australia in 2007.
