Julian McMahon’s net worth revealed after tragic death at 56

Just days after news of his shock death at 56, the fortune reportedly left behind by Julian McMahon has been revealed.

Details of Julian McMahon’s net worth have been revealed following his tragic death at age 56.

The Australian star passed away last week following a secret battle with cancer, as confirmed in a heartbreaking statement released by his widow Kelly Paniagua on Friday.

McMahon reportedly left behind a fortune of $16 million USD (A$24.5 million), amassed throughout his successful three-decade career in Hollywood and a savvy move in real estate.

He was earning around $192,000 per episode in his leading role as Dr Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck back in 2007, but that figured later doubled. He won a Golden Globe for his performance in the series.

McMahon also had a lead role in TV series Charmed and starred in Fantastic Four, Chasing Sleep, Premonition and Swinging Safari.

His earnings were bolstered in 2015 when he sold a Hollywood Hills home at a $2.3 million profit.

Last Friday, his widow told Deadline in a statement that the actor died on Thursday in Clearwater, Florida, after a private battle with cancer.

“With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,” she said.

“Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.”

McMahon’s acting career began in 1989, with a role on the short-lived Australian soap opera The Power, The Passion before landing a stint on Home and Away. The actor then made the move to the US where he achieved success on various TV shows.

Most recently, he starred in the Stan Original Film The Surfer, which was filmed in Australia and co-starred Nicolas Cage.

The Aussie star’s last role came earlier this year in Netflix’s White House mystery drama The Residence.
