Mel Gibson's net worth has been estimated at around $425 million, thanks to films like The Passion of the Christ and We Were Soldiers. On top of this insane wealth, he's won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for 1995's Braveheart.
Despite a thick Australian accent in some of his earlier films, actor Mel Gibson was born in Peeksill, NY, to Irish Catholic parents. One of eleven children, Gibson didn't set foot in Australia until 1968, and only developed an Aussie accent after his classmates teased him for his American tongue. Mel Gibson's looks have certainly helped him develop a largely female following similar to the equally rugged Harrison Ford, but since his 1976 screen debut in Summer City, Gibson has been recognized as a critical as well as physiological success.
