Geoffrey Rush’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Geoffrey Rush net worth: Geoffrey Rush is an Australian actor and film producer who has a net worth of $40 million. Born July 6, 1951 in Toowoomba, Australia, Rush is credited as being one of the few people to have won the Triple Crown of Acting, an Academy Award, Tony Award and Emmy Award. His other award credits include three British Academy Film Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and four Screen Actors Guild Awards. He is the founding President of the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts and was also named as 2012 Australian of the Year. Rush made his film debut in the Australian film Hoodwink (1981). His breakthrough performance was in a 1996 file called Shine, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and his career was kicked into high gear as he appeared in nine more films between 2001-2003. He was cast as Inspector Javert in the 1998 film Les Misérables as well as Philip Henslowe in Shakespeare in Love that same year (for which he was nominated for several awards). In 1999, Rush appeared in what many consider to be one of his greatest roles: The evil Casanova Frankenstein, nemesis to Champion City’s superhero Captain Amazing and eventual arch-enemy of the titular group of ragtag superheroes. Rush excels in the film’s somewhat lowbrow comedy elements (which includes going toe to toe against a character called The Spleen) despite his Oscar-winning acting credentials. He portrayed Hector Barbossa in the Pirates of the Caribbean films and also in the associated attractions at Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom theme parks. He lent his talents to the voice of Nigel the pelican in the 2003 Disney film Finding Nemo. Rush also portrayed the speech therapist in The King’s Speech (starring Colin Firth – 2010). Geoffrey Rush married Jane Menelaus in 1988 and they had a daughter, Angelica, in 1992 and a son, James, in 1995.

Real Estate: In 2012, Kevin and Steffiana paid $18.5 million for a lavish oceanfront home in Delray Beach, Florida.

Annual property taxes on the compound come to right around $500,000. Kevin previously owned a couple homes in Los Angeles, the most notable he sold in 2013 for $5.5 million.
