Armie Hammer was brought up in a wealthy family; his grandfather Armand Hammer was a tycoon who established the oil company Occidental Petroleum, while his father is Michael Armand Hammer, a businessman and the CEO of the “Armand Hammer Foundation”. When he was only seven years old, his family moved to Dallas, Texas, and then to the Cayman Islands where he attended the Grace Christian Academy, a school set up by his father. At the age of 11, Armie had a dream about becoming an actor, which.his parents initially thought was just a joke. At that time, they returned to Los Angeles, where he was a student at the L.A. Baptist High School and Calvary Junior High School. During studies, he made his debut appearance in the play “Rooster Hannigan”. Soon after, he quit his education to pursue his career, which his family didn’t support considering that he would ruin their lives, thus Armie continued education at Pasadena City College and UCLA; anyway, he was very persistent and didn’t quit on a career of professional acting.

Since that year, his career has only gone upwards, and so has his net worth.
In 2009, Armie showed his talents in the series’ “Gossip Girl” and “Reaper”. However, his breakthrough came in 2010, when he was chosen for the role of the Winklevoss twins, Tyler and Cameron in the film, directed by David Fincher “The Social Network”, after which Armie’s net worth increased substantially, and also, his name became more sought after by directors and producers in Hollywood.
Since then, the roles came one after another, first as Clyde Tolson in the film “J. Edgar” (2011), then as Prince Alcott in “Mirror Mirror” (2012), and afterwards playing John Reid in the film “Lone Ranger” (2013). All these appearances added a lot to his net worth.
