Nicole Kidman, known for blockbusters such as “Far and Away,” “Batman Forever,” “To Die For,” “Eyes Wide Shut,” and “The Hours,” the last of which earned her an Academy Award, married singer-songwriter Keith Urban in 2006. Kidman is reportedly worth around $250 million, while Urban, with whom Kidman shares two of her four children, has a net worth of $75 million.
Back in 2008, Forbes listed Kidman as the “most overpaid” Hollywood celebrity, noting that the 2008 movies in which she starred grossed only $1 for every dollar Kidman pocketed for the projects. According to reports, Kidman was paid somewhere between $250,000 and $350,000 per episode for the first season of HBO’s drama series “Big Little Lies” and reportedly earned $1 million per episode for the second. The show ran from 2017 to 2019, with 14 episodes aired. Additionally, Kidman banked $1 million an episode for Hulu’s “Nine Perfect Strangers,” which broadcast eight episodes.

During Kidman’s initial days in the film industry, she lived by the motto “get out there and work,” she told The New York Times Magazine, adding, “There’s no chance of being selective because you’ve got to make money. I didn’t come from an affluent family.” With money no longer an issue, she admitted, “I do get to make choices and have some say in my trajectory as an artist.”
