What is Armie Hammer’s Salary and Net Worth?

Armie Hammer has since made appearances in films like “J. Edgar” (2011), “Mirror Mirror” (2012), “The Lone Ranger” (2013), and “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” (2015). In 2017, he featured in the Oscar-nominated film “Call Me by Your Name,” which earned him a plethora of Best Supporting Actor nominations.

Armie Hammer’s Financial Issues

In July 2022, there were reports that Armie Hammer was employed as a concierge/timeshare salesman at a resort in the Cayman Islands. Initially, the reports were denied by hotel staff, but days later, the reports appeared to be re-confirmed, with an anonymous source telling Variety:

“He’s working at the resort and selling timeshares. He’s working in a cubicle. The truth is he’s completely broke and is just trying to get through the days and make money to take care of his family.”

Hammer it seems has also worked as a manager for an apartment complex in the Caymans, where much of his childhood was spent and where his wife and kids relocated following his scandals, which we elaborate on later in this article.

In a July 2024 interview on Bill Maher’s podcast, Armie disclosed he was actually “broke” at that time of his life but “happier than ever.” One month later, Armie uploaded an Instagram video where he was selling his favorite truck, a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali, as he could not afford the fuel anymore.

Early Life

Armie Hammer was born Armand Douglas Hammer on August 28, 1986, in Santa Monica, California. His father, Michael, owns Armand Hammer Productions, Knoedler Publishing, and a number of other ventures. His mother, Dru Ann, was a bank loan officer. The family (also including Armie’s younger brother, Viktor) briefly resided in Dallas, Texas, before relocating to the Cayman Islands at the age of seven. They remained there for five years before returning to Los Angeles. Hammer attended Faulkner’s Academy and Grace Christian Academy (his father founded it) in the Cayman Islands and Los Angeles Baptist High School, but he left school in his junior year to pursue his acting career (although he did attend classes at UCLA and Pasadena City College at his parents’ insistence). Armie’s parents first disowned him when he dropped out of school, but he has indicated that they came to support his acting career later.

Armand Hammer

Armie’s father’s great-grandfather was oil mogul Armand Hammer. Armand bought Occidental Petroleum with money from his wife’s family in 1957. He operated the business until his death in 1990.

Today, Occidental Petroleum remains a publicly listed company with a market capitalization of approximately $50 billion.

In his time of death, Armand Hammer’s net worth was estimated to be as much as $800 million. That is equivalent to about $2 billion today if adjusted for inflation. Other sources would go on to claim later that the fortune was much less. Armand passed away in December 1990. He is interred opposite his stunning Occidental Building and Hammer Art Museum at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery. Armand is laid to rest in a huge tomb at the cemetery just off the last resting spots of Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Hefner, and Rodney Dangerfield.

At his death, Armand’s grandson Michael – Armie’s dad – inherited management of the estate as sole executor but not necessarily hundreds of thousands of dollars. A devout Christian, Michael allegedly had an influence on Armand to leave bequests to organizations such as Jews for Jesus, Italy for Christ, and other evangelical groups. Michael’s father-in-law, Douglas L. Mobley (Armie’s mother, Dru Ann’s father), made the revelation during Armand’s funeral that Armand renounced Judaism and became a Christian on his deathbed. Douglas was a Christian evangelist turned real estate developer.

Dru Ann met Michael on an airplane in 1985. She was a personal fitness instructor at the time, and he was an executive at Occidental. Dru Ann and her father, Douglas Mobley, had introduced Micahel to evangelical Christianity. Soon after his grandfather Armand passed away, Michael relocated his family – Armie was seven years old at the time – to the Cayman Islands, where he established a Christian Academy.

The estate was soon caught up in more than 100 lawsuits. There was only some $40 million cash remaining in Armand’s estate, according to one book on the life of Armand (one of dozens published). The most valuable holdings in Armand’s estate were his collection of art, valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Armand’s estate left the art collection to the Armand Hammer Foundation. The foundation then donated the collection to the Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center in Los Angeles, which occupied a building linked to Occidental Petroleum’s corporate offices.

In his lifetime, Armand reportedly spent $100 million buying art for his collection. Because of a complex deal, the entire collection and building were actually in UCLA’s ownership. This deal was contentious and would not be resolved for decades.

There were family members who were angry that the Armand Hammer Foundation ultimately became the biggest contributor to the Douglas L. Mobley Foundation. Family members were also angry upon hearing that Armand’s will provided that upon Michael’s death, Dru Ann was to be the executor of the Armand Hammer Foundation.

Suits by charities and relatives depleted the Armand Hammer Foundation’s resources. In its 1995 tax return, the Armand Hammer Foundation held a mere $6.5 million in assets.

To fund the defense against the suits, the foundation auctioned off some of its most valuable pieces. Most famously, in 1994 Bill Gates shelled out $30.8 million (approximately $55 million today) for the “Codex Leicester”. Also referred to as the “Leonardo Codex,” it is a set of Leonardo da Vinci’s scientific texts. Armand had purchased the Codex at auction in 1980 for $5 million, or the same as $16 million today.

Arm & Hammer

Despite a well-known myth, Armand was not involved in the creation of Arm & Hammer baking soda. BUT! In an attempt to make things more confusing, in the 1980s Armand bought a controlling interest in the publicly traded household products firm Church & Dwight. He also became a member of the company’s board of directors. Why was this confusing? Church & Dwight’s best-known item to date is… Arm & Hammer baking soda. “Arm & Hammer” as a name had been used by the baking soda business for over three decades prior to the birth of Armand. Legend has it, Armand was in fact persuaded to purchase his share in Church & Dwight after people kept inquiring if there was any relationship.

Career

Armie made his big screen debut in 2006’s “Flicka,” and the following year, director George Miller cast him as Batman/Bruce Wayne in “Justice League: Mortal,” but the film was canceled. In 2008, Hammer appeared in “Blackout” and landed the title role in “Billy: The Early Years,” a biographical film that earned him a Grace Award nomination for Most Inspiring Performance in Movie or Television. Hammer guest-starred in 2009 on The CW’s

“Reaper” and “Gossip Girl” and played a part in the Amy Poehler–Rachel Dratch comedy “Spring Breakdown.” Hammer played real-life identical twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in “The Social Network,” a biopic about Facebook’s inception in 2010. The film made $224.9 million worldwide, received an Oscar nomination for Best Motion Picture of the Year, and won over 170 awards. Armie played another historical character, Clyde Tolson, ex-Associate Director of the FBI, in “J. Edgar” in 2011 and received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role.

Hammer received the royal treatment in 2012 playing Prince Andrew Alcott in the Snow White retelling “Mirror Mirror” alongside Lily Collins and Julia Roberts. He also provided the voice of Zook in the computer-animated short film “The Polar Bears” and the Winklevoss twins in an episode of “The Simpsons” the same year. Armie portrayed the title character in “The Lone Ranger” in 2013 and provided the voice for the character in the Disney Infinity

video game franchise. He appeared in Guy Ritchie’s movie adaptation of “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and himself in the “Entourage” film in 2015, and he appeared in four movies in 2016: “The Birth of a Nation,” “Nocturnal Animals,” “Free Fire,” and “Mine.” Hammer appeared alongside Timothée Chalamet in “Call Me by Your Name” in 2017, delivering the most critically acclaimed performance of his career to date. He also voiced Jackson Storm in the Disney-Pixar film “Cars 3” that year, and in 2018, he appeared in “Sorry to Bother You” and “Hotel Mumbai” and played Martin D. Ginsburg in “On the Basis of Sex,” a biopic about trailblazing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Armie is set to appear in the Netflix thriller “Rebecca,” Kenneth Branagh’s “Death on the Nile,” and Taika Waititi’s “Next Goal Wins.”

Personal Life

Armie started dating TV personality Elizabeth Chambers in 2008, two years after first meeting her. They got married on May 22, 2010, and they have daughter Harper born December 1, 2014, and son Ford born January 15, 2017. Hammer and Chambers owned a bakery in San Antonio, Texas, in 2012, and they later established a second Bird Bakery shop in Dallas.

The pair announced in July 2020 that they were divorcing, and in an August post on Instagram, Armie stated that he had spent the previous two months staying with his friend Ashton Ramsey and had been working in construction with Ramsey throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. In June 2023, the divorce was settled.

Sexual Abuse And Other Allegations

In 2021, Armie was accused of forcing a laundry list of strange things on multiple women. One woman said that Armie carved an “A” onto his pelvis and suggested, allegedly seriously, that she have a rib removed surgically so he could eat it. An anonymous Instagram account posted screenshots of messages allegedly sent by Armie where he detailed rape and cannibalism fantasies. Messages allegedly were exchanged during 2016 to 2020 when he was still married to Elizabeth Chambers.

After refuting the allegations, Armie then dropped out of two movies and two TV series. His talent agency, WME, was also said to have terminated him as a client. His publicist followed shortly thereafter. Several films in which he had already filmed scenes were reportedly re-filmed. In 2023, probes by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office and LAPD ended with no charges being pursued due to a lack of enough evidence.

Awards and Nominations

Hammer received a Best Supporting Actor award at the 2010 Toronto Film Critics Association Awards and a share of a Hollywood Film Festival Award, a Phoenix Film Critics Society Award, a Southeastern Film Critics Association Award, and a Palm Springs International Film Festival award as part of his “The Social Network” co-stars. He won the Male Star of Tomorrow award at the Young Hollywood Awards in 2011 and CinemaCon in 2013. Armie received the One to Acclaim Award from the Texas Film Hall of Fame in 2018 and was awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Cinema award at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival for his performances in “Call Me by Your Name,” “Sorry to Bother You,” “Hotel Mumbai,” and “On the Basis of Sex.” Hammer’s performance in “Call Me by Your Name” received Best Supporting Actor nominations by the Golden Globes, Independent Spirit Awards, Satellite Awards, Critics’ Choice Award, and a few critics associations.

Real Estate

Armie purchased a 6,275-square-foot Hancock Park L.A. home in 2019 for $4.7 million. He listed the 7-bedroom mansion for $5.8 million in September of 2020. He eventually settled for $4.7 million, his original purchase price, in March of 2021. Here’s a video tour when it came on the market in 2018:
