Gerard Butler's net worth revealed: The complete breakdown here!  

Best known for portraying Leonidas I, the King of Sparta, in the epic historical action film 300, Gerard Butler is a Scottish actor and producer. Butler's other notable acting credits include The Phantom of Opera, Olympus Has Fallen, its sequels, London Has Fallen, and Angel Has Fallen. Undoubtedly a renowned actor in showbiz currently, watchers, however, deem Butler to be an underrated actor for his stellar credits.   

Gerard James Butler was born on November 13, 1969, in Paisley, Renfrewshire. A bright student at both school and university, Butler, ventured into a career in law after graduating from the University of Glasgow. He would go on to practice law for years, a period of his life he recalls with scant enthusiasm. Gerard eventually deviated to acting. Butler says he wasn't confident of his decision at first but then reasons, "I wanted very much to be famous."

Butler didn't experience any beginner's luck when he started his acting career. He landed no notable roles for years, let alone a breakthrough. Butler's early acting credits are stage productions of Coriolanus and Trainspotting. He made his film debut in the Oscar-nominated Mrs. Brown in 1996, but his performance went unnoticed.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Butler has an estimated net worth of $40 million. Butler owes his staggering fortune to his relatively young and flourishing acting career. As an aspiring actor, Butler's work continued to go overlooked, with him playing small roles in big hits like Tomorrow Never Dies, Tale of the Mummy, and more. Gerard landed his first starring role in what should've been his breakthrough, in the television series Attila, in 2001. But the role at least worked as a stepping stone for Butler in landing more leading roles.
