Gerard Butler’s net worth: The A-list actor’s wealth & income

Gerard Butler is an A-list actor who has appeared both in big-budget movies and action films with more modest budgets. Collider, an entertainment news website, referred to him as the last great B-movie action hero — the 2.0 version of Steven Seagal, who made a name for himself with action roles in the 1980s and 90s.

In a more than three-decade career on stage and film, Butler still commands a large following who are drawn to his varied roles — from his 2004 portrayal of a pained musician in the catacombs of Paris to his 2018 performance as a detective chasing thieves. All told, his movies have taken in billions of dollars in ticket sales at the box office.

Butler returned to one of his iconic roles, Stoick the Vast, in the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon, which made its Hollywood premiere in mid-June 2025. Like its animated counterpart, the new live-action film will likely spawn sequels in the years to come.
