British actor Charlie Hunnam is best known for playing Jax Teller in Queer As Folk. Hunnam’s performance in Queer As Folk as a gay teenager garnered him critical acclaim and a move to the U.S. followed.
Stateside, Children Of Men, but his real big break came with Sons Of Anarchy.
Sons Of Anarchy ran for seven seasons and 92 episodes on FX between 2008 and 2014 and starred Hunnam as Jackson “Jax” Teller, the leader of a violent California motorcycle club. While it’s not known how much the Sons Of Anarchy cast earned per episode, it must have been a pretty penny because Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Charlie Hunnam is worth around $16 million.
Outside of his TV work on Sons Of Anarchy, Hunnam has plenty of film credits too. He starred in Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi monster movie Triple Frontier, True History Of The Kelly Gang and The Gentlemen.
Up next in his career, Hunnam will star alongside Mel Gibson and Morena Baccarin in action-thriller Shantaram, playing a man who escapes from an Australian prison and takes refuge in the criminal underworld of Mumbai. Shantaram is expected to air sometime in 2020 on Apple’s newly launched streaming service Apple TV+ and, if successful, should keep Charlie Hunnam’s net worth looking healthy for the foreseeable future.
