Hugh Jackman has had an illustrious career over the past two and a half decades, from an aspiring Australian actor to playing one of the fan favorite comic book heroes. The new movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, will earn him millions and a record for playing a superhero character for the longest time. Playing Wolverine has reportedly added $100 million in contributions to his net worth.

Not only is Jackman an actor with an income of $7.88 billion, but he also has real estate deals and philanthropy that contribute to his wealth. The inspiring story of his coffee brand, Laughing Man Coffee, will make fans admire the actor even more.
