Biography

Liam Hemsworth is an Australian actor with an estimated net worth of $26 million. Born in Melbourne in 1990, Hemsworth built his career through a combination of blockbuster franchise films, independent productions, and a high-profile Netflix series, most notably the Hunger Games franchise (2012–2015), the ensemble film Independence Day: Resurgence (2016), and his current starring role as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Seasons 4 and 5 on Netflix.

Updated March 2026: According to Men’s Health and multiple industry outlets, Hemsworth’s net worth is estimated at $26 million as of 2025–2026. His ongoing work on The Witcher — Netflix’s fifth most valuable global revenue driver from 2020 through the first half of 2025, generating nearly $930 million for the streamer per The Wrap — continues to be his primary active income source. Season 4 was confirmed as over-budget by Netflix filings, with total production costs reaching approximately $220 million, per Forbes.

Early Life and Education

Liam Hemsworth was born on January 13, 1990, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. He is the youngest son of Craig Hemsworth, a social-services counsellor, and Leonie (née van Os), an author and English teacher. His ancestry includes Dutch (from his maternal grandfather, who immigrated to Australia), Irish, English, Scottish, and German heritage. Liam is the youngest of three brothers — both Chris Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth are also working actors, making the Hemsworths one of the most notable acting families in contemporary Hollywood. The family relocated to Phillip Island during Liam’s high school years, where the three brothers spent time surfing together. Liam attended his first audition at age sixteen, shortly after finishing high school. Before launching his acting career, he spent approximately six months laying floors for a living.

Acting Career

Hemsworth began his professional career in 2007 with guest appearances on the Australian television productions Home and Away and McLeod’s Daughters. In July 2007, he joined the long-running soap opera Neighbours — the same series his brother Luke had previously appeared in — playing Josh Taylor in a recurring capacity through 2008. He also appeared in the children’s television series The Elephant Princess (2008–2009), before relocating to Los Angeles in March 2009.

His first major Hollywood role came in The Last Song (2010), where he starred opposite Miley Cyrus — meeting the woman he would later marry. He had originally auditioned for the title role in Thor, which ultimately went to his brother Chris. In 2012, Hemsworth landed the role of Gale Hawthorne in the first installment of the Hunger Games franchise, starring opposite Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. According to Screen Rant, citing Forbes, he was paid $500,000 for the first Hunger Games film, with subsequent films in the four-movie series reportedly bringing his per-film earnings to an estimated $5 million by the final installment. The complete franchise became a major global cultural phenomenon.

Additional film credits include The Expendables 2 (2012), Paranoia (2013), The Dressmaker (2015), Independence Day: Resurgence (2016), Isn’t It Romantic (2019), Most Dangerous Game (2020), and Lonely Planet (2024). In 2023, Netflix announced that Hemsworth would replace Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher beginning with Season 4. He spent approximately two years filming Seasons 4 and 5 back-to-back. Season 4 premiered in 2025 with a production budget of approximately $220 million — the highest of any season in the series, per Netflix filings reported by Forbes.

How Liam Hemsworth Built His $26 Million Fortune

  • Hunger Games franchise salary: Paid $500,000 for the first film (2012), per Screen Rant citing Forbes, rising to an estimated $5 million for the fourth and final installment. The franchise earned over $2.9 billion worldwide at the box office.
  • The Witcher (Netflix): Hemsworth stepped into the lead role of Geralt of Rivia for Seasons 4 and 5. Henry Cavill had earned $400,000–$500,000 per episode for the role’s earlier seasons; industry observers expect Hemsworth’s rate is comparable for a series Netflix has described as one of its most valuable global properties. Season 4’s total production costs reached $220 million, per Forbes.
  • Film salary growth: Early in his career, Hemsworth progressed from five-figure Australian television fees to Hollywood rates. Major studio films such as Independence Day: Resurgence (which grossed $389 million globally) contributed to salary escalation.
  • Brand partnerships and endorsements: Hemsworth has participated in global brand campaigns, leveraging his international profile as both a Hunger Games star and a member of the Hemsworth acting family.
  • Real estate: Hemsworth owns property in Newrybar, near Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia — an area where his brother Chris Hemsworth also owns a reported $50 million estate. Liam filed plans for a $14.6 million mansion on a 35-hectare site in Newrybar, per Homes to Love, in addition to an existing five-bedroom, four-bathroom home in the same area.

Personal Life

Hemsworth met Miley Cyrus on the set of The Last Song in 2009. The pair dated on and off for nearly a decade — becoming engaged in 2012, splitting in 2013, rekindling in 2016, and ultimately marrying on December 23, 2018 in Nashville. They separated in August 2019, and the divorce was finalized on January 28, 2020. The relationship generated significant tabloid coverage, and Cyrus’s 2023 song “Flowers” was widely interpreted as being about the marriage and its end. For cross-reference, see Miley Cyrus’s net worth profile.

Following his divorce, Hemsworth began dating Australian model Gabriella Brooks. The couple kept a low profile through 2020–2024. On September 12, 2025, Brooks confirmed their engagement on Instagram. In an October 28, 2025 appearance on The Tonight Show, Hemsworth said: “We got engaged a few months ago whilst I was still shooting The Witcher. I didn’t have a huge plan behind the engagement. I mean, I had enough of a plan to have bought the ring, but I was sort of just waiting for the right moment.” The pair celebrated the engagement with a trip to the Maldives. Hemsworth has stated that his difficult experience with his first marriage influenced the couple’s measured approach to formalizing their relationship.

Hemsworth has served as an ambassador for the Australian Childhood Foundation. He was previously a committed vegan until approximately 2020, when kidney stones prompted a dietary change. His brother Chris Hemsworth is one of the world’s highest-paid actors; see Chris Hemsworth’s net worth profile for comparison.
