Christian Charles Philip Bale has an estimated net worth of $80 million. The English-born actor impressed Steven Spielberg when he was cast as a boy separated from his family during World War II in “Empire of the Sun.” Although he received generous financial payout from blockbusters like “American Psycho” and the “Machinist,” Bale received an astounding $10 million for his role as Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight,” in which has starred alongside Heath Ledger as the Joker. Bale also received a reported $8 million for his performance as John Conner in “Terminator: Salvation.”
Among his many acting accolades, he was awarded Best Actor by the Chlotrudis Awards for “American Psycho,” Best Actor by The Saturn Awards for “The Machinist,” and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his work in “The Fighter.” Ironically, his stepmother Gloria Steinem was vehemently vocal in her opposition against the “American Psycho” novel, written by Bret Easton Ellis. Bale’s family believes in environmental conservation and he actively supports environmental groups such as the World Wildlife Fund.
