Julian McMahon won over fans’ hearts after establishing himself as a heartthrob. Among his most famous roles were in Home and Away, Profiler, Charmed, Nip/Tuck, and the Fantastic Four movies, which helped him build a high net worth, a packed resumé and a starry celebrity image in Hollywood. Since he was only 56, Julian’s death shocked the world when it was revealed in July 2025 that he had been battling cancer.
Below, learn everything about Julian’s legacy, his career and overall net worth.
Julian got his start as a professional actor in the 1980s in soap operas. The Australia native landed his big break in playing Ben Lucini in Home and Away, but he initially struggled to get his foot in the door of American movies and TV shows, Julian said in an interview with MediaVillage.
“At the time, it wasn’t easy to get a work permit in the United States or come here as an Australian actor,” Julian told the outlet in March 2020. “I missed out on a couple of films because I couldn’t get a permit, so getting a three-year contract was a gift and a great opportunity.”
Eventually, Julian starred in the FBI franchise, which gave him more stability.
Julian had a net worth of $16 million before he died, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
It’s unclear if Julian’s health issues had any impact on his fortune. He kept his cancer battle private.
