Peter Jackson Net Worth: Peter Jackson is a New Zealand-born director, writer, and producer who has a net worth of $500 million dollars. Peter Jackson is most widely recognized for his multi-award winning film adaption of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies have earned more than $6 billion at the box office and on DVD. Jackson earned $180 million off The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Prior to striking it rich with LOTR, Peter Jackson had actually been making movies since the mid-70s. Some of his other directing credits include, “Heavenly Creatures”, “King Kong”, and “The Lovely Bones”.Early Life: Peter Robert Jackson was born on October 31, 1961, in Wellington, New Zealand. His parents were emigrants from England, and raised him in the coastal town of Pukerua Bay, New Zealand. He was a film enthusiast growing up, and made his own short films with friends after being given a Super 8 cine-camera as a gift. He left school at the age of 16 and worked full-time at the Wellington newspaper, The Evening Post, as a photo-engraver. He stayed at that position for seven years, and lived with his parents to save money for film equipment.Career: Jackson shot his first feature film, “Bad Taste” (1987), over a number of years. It features many of his friends, who acted for free. He was able to complete it thanks to funding from the New Zealand Film Commission. Subsequent films he directed include “Meet the Feebles” (1989), “Braindead” (1992), “Heavenly Creatures” (1994), and “The Frighteners” (1996). He actually partnered with Michael Stephens and co-founded the production company WingNut films in Feburary 1987. It has seen gone on to be involved in most of his projects, including the films previously mentioned.In 1997, Jackson won the rights to film the epic “Lord of the Ring” (LOTR) series by J.R.R. Tolkien. He had first become interested in Tolkien’s works as a young adult after he watched an animated film by Ralph Bakshi based on the LOTR trilogy. The first film in the trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” was released in 2001, followed by “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” (2002) and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2003).Jackson then signed with Universal Studios to remake the classic “King Kong” film from 1933. This was the film that had originally inspired Jackson to become a filmmaker in the first place as a child. The remake was released in December 2005, and managed to gross about $550 million globally. He followed this with the film “The Lovely Bones” (2009), an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Alice Sebold.He returned to the world of Tolkien in 2010, when he was brought on to direct two LOTR prequels based on “The Hobbit”. Then, in 2012, he announced that the project would be expanded into a trilogy. This resulted in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” (201), “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” (2013), and “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” (2014). Just like the LOTR films, the Hobbit films were all filmed in New Zealand.Other notable projects Jackson has worked on include “They Shall Not Grow Old” (2018), a documentary about the soldiers of the First World War, which was co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW and the Imperial War Museums together with the BBC; and “Mortal Engines” (2018), an adaptation of the novel by Philip Reeve, starring Robert Sheehan, Hera Hilmar, Hugo Weaving, and Jihae, among others. In January 2019, Jackson announced that he was going to be directing a documentary about the making of the final Beatles album. Walt Disney Studios acquired the worldwide distribution rights to the documentary, titled “The Beatles: Get Back”, and, as of June 2020, the film is set to be released in September 2020.Personal Life and Net Worth Details: Jackson’s net worth was estimated at $370 million in 2009 when he purchased a Gulfstream G650 private jet. The jet, which seats 18 people, is powerful enough to fly from New Zealand to the United States without having to stop to refuel, and is rumored to have cost Jackson $60 million. In addition to his Gulfstream, Jackson also owns over 40 airworthy World War I-era warbirds. He is an aviation enthusiast, and houses his warbird collection at Hood Aerodome near Masterton, New Zealand. Additionally, his collection of WWI aircraft and paraphernalia have been exhibited at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, as part of their Knights of the Sky exhibition. He also owns Wingnut Wings, a scale modeling company specializing in World War I subjects.Jackson’s partner is Fran Walsh, fellow New Zealander and a screenwriter, film producer, and lyricist. Together they have two children. The couple work closely together, and Walsh has contributed in some way to all of Jackson’s films that he has made since 1989. Jackson lives on a $5 million property in New Zealand that features a private lake and Frodo Baggins’ home set from the LOTR movies. Some of Jackson’s charitable activities include giving NZ $500,000 to stem cell research, saving an old church in Wellington from demolition by purchasing it for around $10 million, and securing the futures of the BATS Theatre in Wellington by purchasing it in 2011, among others.King Kong Payday: Fresh off the success of LOTR, Jackson was paid $20 million plus 20% of the box office take for directing King Kong. This ultimately turned into one of the highest salaries ever paid to a director after King Kong earned $600 million worldwide.
