The Passion of the Christ and We Were Soldiers have contributed to Mel Gibson’s estimated $425 million in wealth. In addition to his absurd wealth, he received an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the 1995 film Braveheart.
Mel Gibson, an actor, was born in Peeksill, New York, to Irish Catholic parents, despite having a strong Australian accent in several of his earlier movies. Gibson, one of eleven children, didn’t arrive in Australia until 1968 and only acquired an Australian accent as a result of his classmates making fun of his American accent. Similar to the equally rugged Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson has gained a sizable female fan base because to his good looks, but since his 1976 film debut in Summer City, Gibson has been acknowledged as both a critical and commercial success.
