Josh Hutcherson is an actor since he was a 10 year old kid. However his career and wealth skyrocketed with his role of Peeta Mellark in film series The Hunger Games. The paycheck for the first movie was already pretty round sum but he was able to negotiate a hefty increase for Catching Fire. Josh Hutcherson now has net worth of $5.5 million as of 2023.
How Did Josh Hutcherson Get So Rich?
Notable portion of this astronomical net worth is estimated to be represented by his luxury home in Los Angeles, California. He bought this gorgeous mansion in Hollywood Hills in 2012. The house was originally built in 1951 but was appropriately updated and offers modern sleek design inside and out. That’s a notable real estate investment especially if you consider that Josh was only nineteen years old at the time of purchase.
Success of the first Hunger Games movies resulted in notable salary increase that was offered to Jennifer Lawrence. In the light of this, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth both felt that their paycheck should be far more than just $2 million that was offered to each of them for Catching Fire. They demanded $5 million each. With all of this knowing…can you imagine what the price tag must have been for their Mockingjay appearance? We would have to speculate.
