Tom Hiddleston Net Worth $8 Million
Tom Hiddleston was born to James Hiddleston, a chemist, and Diana, a casting director and stage manager. Under the influence of his mother, at a very young age Tom was introduced to the world of acting. After graduation from his preparatory school, The Dragon School in Oxford, he continued his education at Eton College, and later the University of Cambridge – where he started his acting career on stage – graduating in Classics. Then in 2005 he graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art(RADA).
Tom’s professional acting career began while he was still at RADA, as he earned a small role in the film directed by Stephen Whittaker, “The Adventures Of Nickolas Nickleby” (2001), which was followed by a role in “Conspiracy”, a film by Frank Pierson. In 2002, Tom appeared in the film “The Gathering Storm”, portraying Randolph Churchill. A few years later in 2006, Hiddleston was selected for the role of Bill Hazledine in the TV series “Suburban Shootout” (2006-2007) – his net worth was certainly rising. The following year, he acquired a role in the film “Mr. Austin Regrets” (2008), and the role of Magnus Martinsson in the TV series “Wallander” (2008-2010).
However, Tom’s breakout role came in 2011, when he was selected to play Loki in the high profile film entitled “Thor” (2011), after which his name became more sought in the film industry, resulting in a significant increase in his net worth in following years; he then reprised his role in the films “Thor: The Dark World” and “The Avengers” (2012), meantime scoring roles in films such as “The Deep Blue Sea” (2011), “Midnight In Paris” (2011), and “War Horse” (2011), all of which added to Tom’s net worth.
To speak further of his career in the entertainment industry, in recent years, Tom has played parts in films “Thor: Dark World” (2013), “I Saw The Light” (2015), “Muppets Most Wanted” (2014), “Crimson Peak” (2015). His latest ventures include appearances in the TV series “The Night Manager”, which is scheduled for a release sometime in 2016, and he is currently shooting films “Kong: Skull Island” and “Thor: Ragnarok”, which will be released in 2017 and will raise his fortune further.
Tom’s success as an actor is spoken for by numerous awards he has won during his career, such as Best Male Newcomer for his work on film “Thor” (2011), and as Best Villain for his role of Loki in the film “The Avengers” (2012).
Additional to his starring in films, Tom has also appeared in several theatre productions, such as “The Changeling” (2006), “Cymbeline” (2007) for which he won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Newcomer in a Play, and “Othello” (2008), and winning the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Actor, for his role in the play “Coriolanus” (2013). All these plays have also added considerably to the overall size of his net worth, and confirm his acting versatility.
If to talk about his personal life, Tom Hiddleston’s private interests have included Susannah Fielding and Jane Arthy, but he remains officially single. He speaks for languages apart from English. As many other millionaires, he is also well-known for his charity work with several organizations like “Thomas Coram Foundation for Children”, and “UNICEF”.
