Hello and welcome, we're here to inform you that the only thing climbing faster than Bella and Edward during the spider monkey scene in Twilight is Hamnet star Paul Mescal's net worth. Much like a hot man running away from his date at the park, this dude's bank account is traveling at lightning speed—however the exact numbers are shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

If you've been following Paul's career since Normal People (which, obviously), you're likely aware that—at least thus far—he's tended to pick prestige Oscar-y movies with small budgets. Think: Aftersun, The Lost Daughter, and All of Us Are Strangers. But things changed when Paul signed on to star in Ridley Scott's Gladiator II, which just happens to be one of the most expensive movies ever made. And if you're wondering how much Paul took home from the film's $250-$310 million budget, we're diving in.

So, What’s Paul Mescal’s Net Worth?

Keep in mind that despite Normal People being Paul Mescal's most major work to date, the show was also his breakout role—meaning he didn't exactly earn a ton of money for it. In fact, the actor reportedly told OK! Magazine that he spent his entire first paycheck on drinks for the cast, saying, "I did stupid things like buying the cast a round of drinks, which was pretty much my entire wage!"

Soooo, that gives you an idea of how much / how little he was making!

Meanwhile, Paul's other films have been pretty indie-leaning...that is, until a starring role in Gladiator II catapulted Paul to leading man territory. Now he's set to appear as Paul McCartney in Sam Mendes' upcoming Beatles biopic—and he's also casually the face of Gucci.

TBD on what he got paid for the gig, but...gonna assume it helped contribute to his current estimated net worth of $5 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. Okay, Paul!

How Much Did Paul Mescal Make From Gladiator II, You Ask?

Reportedly, he raked in a cool $2 million for the role—which is a lot, but also significantly lower than that of Denzel Washington, who was reportedly paid $20 million for his supporting role in the movie.

He Has Money Tied Up in Real Estate

Apparently, Paul has a cute stone house in Cork, Ireland, which he paid €600,000 for. Sounds like a dream come true!

Now excuse me while I watch the Hamnet trailer for the umpteenth time:
