Jerry Hall Net Worth

What Is Jerry Hall's Net Worth?

Jerry Hall is an American model and actress who has a net worth of $70 million. Jerry Hall was one of the most popular models in the world in the '70s. She was discovered by a fashion agent while sunbathing in Saint Tropez. With her blonde hair and six-foot height, she became one of the most popular models of her time, earning as much as $1,000 per day in the early 1970s. She made her transition to acting in 1980 with a small part in the romance film "Urban Cowboy." Since then, Hall has appeared extensively onstage, acting in productions of such shows as "The Graduate," "High Society," and "Love Letters."

Jerry is probably better known for her romantic relationships. She became engaged to Bryan Ferry in the mid-1970s but subsequently met Mick Jagger and began a relationship with him. Jagger would eventually leave his wife for her, and the pair had four children together before separating in 1999. In their divorce settlement, Mick claimed that their marriage was never official because the ceremony was informal. Jerry sought half of his $300 million net worth at the time but eventually settled for just $15 to $25 million. In 2015, she began dating billionaire Rupert Murdoch. They married in 2016 and divorced in 2022. More details on her divorce settlements with Jagger and Murdoch in the next sections…

Mick Jagger Divorce Settlement

Jerry Hall and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger partook in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony in Bali in 1990. However, their relationship came to a highly public and abrupt end in 1999 when it was revealed that Brazilian lingerie model Luciana Gimenez Morad was pregnant with Jagger's child.

When Hall initiated divorce proceedings, she reportedly sought half of Jagger's fortune, which was estimated to be around $300 million at the time. In response, Jagger's legal team successfully argued a technicality: their 1990 Bali ceremony was never officially registered and was therefore legally void under both Indonesian and British law. Consequently, the High Court of England and Wales agreed to annul the marriage rather than grant a formal divorce. To avoid a drawn-out, public legal war, Hall agreed to a settlement. While the exact figures were sealed, authoritative reporting estimates that she walked away with between $15 million and $25 million.

Rupert Murdoch Divorce Settlement

In March 2016, Hall married billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Six years later, the marriage ended just as abruptly as it began. According to a bombshell investigative report by Vanity Fair, Hall was waiting for Murdoch to arrive at their Oxfordshire estate in June 2022 when she was completely blindsided by an email from him. It began:

"Jerry, sadly I've decided to call an end to our marriage. We have certainly had some good times, but I have much to do."

Because the couple had signed an ironclad prenuptial agreement, Hall was not legally entitled to a percentage of Murdoch's $17 billion media empire. Still, her settlement was immensely lucrative. Hall was awarded outright ownership of Holmwood House—an £11.25 million (approx. $14 million) Georgian estate in Oxfordshire—as well as a home in the South of France. She also received an undisclosed, multi-million-dollar cash payout, placing the total value of her settlement comfortably in the mid-to-high eight figures.

The split was famously frosty and came with several highly unusual stipulations. Hall was reportedly given just 30 days to move her belongings out of their shared Bel Air estate—under the watchful eye of security guards—and had to produce receipts to prove certain items belonged to her. Most bizarrely, the settlement included a strict non-disclosure clause prohibiting Hall from feeding story ideas to the writers of HBO's hit series Succession (a show heavily inspired by the Murdoch family dynamics). Additionally, Hall reportedly discovered that the security cameras at her newly acquired Oxfordshire estate were still feeding footage back to Fox headquarters; she subsequently enlisted her ex, Mick Jagger, who sent his own security team to manually disconnect them.

Early Life

Jerry Hall was born on July 2, 1956, in Gonzales, Texas. She is the daughter of John Hall and medical records librarian Marjorie Hall. Jerry is of Irish, English, and Dutch ancestry and is a descendant of Daniel Boone's friend Humphrey Best. Hall has a twin sister named Terry, as well as three older sisters, including Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Rosy. Growing up, Jerry was raised in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite, where she went to North Mesquite High School. While there, she also took classes at the Eastfield Campus of Dallas College in gymnastics, archery, and tennis. Hall graduated early at the age of 16.

Career Beginnings in Modeling

While sunbathing on a Saint-Tropez beach in the French Riviera, Hall and her twin sister were spotted by fashion agent Claude Haddad, who was very impressed. Jerry subsequently moved to Paris, where she shared an apartment with actress Jessica Lange and singer Grace Jones. She went on to have her first major modeling gig in 1975, appearing as the titular mythical figure on the cover of the Roxy Music album "Siren." The album was a hit, and Hall's popularity blew up over the subsequent years. By 1977, she had appeared on 40 magazine covers and was receiving modeling fees of over $1,000 a day. Thanks to her lustrous blonde hair and svelte six-foot frame, Jerry became one of the most famous and prolifically photographed models of the era. Additionally, she served as a muse for such artists as Ed Ruscha, Francesco Clemente, and Lucian Freud and often modeled for Andy Warhol.

Acting Career

Leveraging her huge popularity as a model, Hall transitioned to acting in 1980. That year, she had her first role in the romantic Western film "Urban Cowboy," starring John Travolta and Debra Winger. In the film, Jerry appeared as a sexy sister alongside her real-life sister Cyndy. In 1988, she made her debut on stage in a revival of the play "Bus Stop," hosted by Montclair State University in New Jersey. Hall played Cherie, a character portrayed in the film version of "Bus Stop" by none other than Marilyn Monroe. She went on to reprise the role two years later on London's West End. Jerry also participated in "The Wall – Live in Berlin," Roger Waters' enormous live concert performance commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 1993, she made her television acting debut playing Ms. Vivienne Scarlett on the fourth season of the British show "Cluedo," based on the eponymous board game. Hall reprised her role on the British comedy series "The Detectives."

In the early 2000s, Hall returned to the stage to play Mrs. Robinson in the Broadway adaptation of the classic film "The Graduate." She continued to appear in several theatrical productions over the following years, with many in the UK and Ireland. In 2002, Jerry was in the play "Picasso's Women" in Brighton. Three years later, she made her return to the West End to play Mother Lord in the first London production of Cole Porter's musical comedy "High Society." After a long break from television, Hall returned in 2005 to lend her voice to the British adult animated sitcom "Popetown"; she voiced the character Sister Penelope. Two years later, Jerry guest-starred on the British series "Hotel Babylon," and after that, appeared on the British sketch comedy show "French and Saunders." In 2012, she came back to the stage for a one-week appearance alongside David Soul in a revival of the A. R. Gurney play "Love Letters" in Dublin.

Other Media Appearances

Beyond her regular acting roles, Hall has appeared in commercials and on reality television shows. In the '90s, she was featured in commercials for the meat extract paste Bovril. On the reality TV front, Jerry was the subject of the 2005 VH1 series "Kept," which focused on her pursuit of a kept man. By the end of the series, she picked Seth Frye as the winner. Later, in 2012, Hall competed in the tenth season of the British television dance competition series "Strictly Come Dancing." Performing with her professional partner Anton du Beke, she was the second celebrity to be eliminated from the show. In 2014, Jerry wrote music and lyrics to original songs and performed at the Glastonbury Festival.

Personal Life

In 1975, Jerry began a relationship with English singer-songwriter Bryan Ferry. Two years later, she left him for Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger, with whom she had four children between 1984 and 1997: Elizabeth, James, Georgia, and Gabriel. In 1990, Hall and Jagger held a Hindu wedding ceremony in Bali, Indonesia; however, the marriage was deemed null and void by the High Court of England and Wales nine years later, on account of it not being legal. Hall and Jagger resided at Downe House, Richmond Hill in Greater London. The pair eventually broke up in 1999 due to Jagger's infidelity. Later, in 2015, Jerry began dating billionaire businessman Rupert Murdoch; they married the following year. The couple divorced in 2022.
