Hugh Grant has a net worth of $80 million. Now that he doesn’t do much acting, Grant has become rather keen on property. He said last year: “I keep buying places then deciding they are not very nice and then buying other places. I now own about 17 houses in London, all of them horrible and badly decorated.” Oxford-educated Grant, 50, still commands more than £5m a film his films have garnered £480m at the box office. His property portfolio was reckoned by experts to have been worth between £35m and £45m before the crash.

Cautiously, the Sunday Times Rich List valued it at £30m. Other profits came from the Simian Films production company he set up with former squeeze Liz Hurley, who was responsible for several box office hits such as Extreme Measures and Mickey Blue Eyes before he quit the venture in 2005. Grant’s keen eye for art ensured him an £8m profit when he sold a Warhol for £10m a few years back. After tax, and taking into account his assets and continued earnings, Sunday Times Rich List valued Grant at £45m.
