What is Alan Rickman’s net worth?
Alan Rickman is a British actor with a net worth of US$16 million. Mainly due to the Harry Potter series, Alan Rickman is the 20th box office actor in movie history. So far, his movie box office revenue has exceeded US$3.4 billion. Unfortunately, Alan Rickman died on January 14, 2016 at the age of 69 after battling cancer.
Rickman started his Hollywood career by playing the villain in the original Die Hard, and he has continued to appear in many other movies over the years. Having said that, Allen is a classically trained actor who is equally comfortable on stage. He has been a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for many years and has appeared in works in the West End of London and Broadway Theatres in New York.
Some of his most famous films include “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves”, “Quigley Underground”, “Sense and Emotion”, “Galactic Exploration”, “True Love” and “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” .” Rickman eventually contracted pancreatic cancer and died after starring in the last film such as “Eye in the Sky”.
early life
Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman (Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman) was born on February 21, 1946, near Acton, London. Allen was raised in the ashes of World War II by working-class parents and three siblings. At the age of eight, he witnessed his father’s death from cancer. Allen was also born with a tight jaw, which gave him a unique tone, which made him stand out in the show business. After the death of his father, his mother supported the family alone. This led him to live in the council estate (housing project).
In school, Allen has shown artistic talent since he was a child. After graduating from high school, he studied at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, and then transferred to the Royal College of Art. Initially, he chose to pursue a career as a graphic designer because he thought it was more stable and reliable than acting. Although he opened a graphic design studio with three friends, Rickman eventually left the world to concentrate entirely on his professional acting career. Then he participated in the audition at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and was admitted. He studied at this prestigious drama school for two years and finally graduated in 1974.
Profession
After leaving RADA, Rickman’s first performance was performed through an experimental theater troupe. In these early days, he also began to appear in Shakespeare’s plays. He soon began to work with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and appeared in a breakthrough TV show in “The Bachester Chronicles.” He also quickly began to take the lead on stage and was nominated for a Tony Award for his role in the adaptation of “Dangerous Relationships.”
In 1988, Allen and Bruce Willis played the German villain Hans Gruber, who made his breakthrough in Hollywood with “Die Hard”. His performance is now considered one of the most iconic villains in film history. It turns out that this is a profitable niche market for Rickman, as he continues to be known as one of Hollywood’s most popular villains. In 1991, he played the Sheriff of Nottingham in “Robin Hood: The Prince of Thieves” and won the British Film Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He was also praised for “stealing the show” at the expense of Kevin Costner.
Other roles in the 90s include “Truly, Madly, Deeply”, “Sense and Sensibility” and “Quigley Down Under”. During this period, Allen continued to appear on stage and won wide acclaim for many theatrical works in London and New York. Despite his success in playing villains, Allen was ultimately dissatisfied with the typification of these roles. This led him to pursue many comedy roles in films such as “Galactic Exploration”.

In 2001, Rickman won what is probably one of the most decisive roles of his career, playing Severus Snape in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” He will continue to play this role until the last movie is released in 2011. In many ways, this role allows Rickman to reach a new generation of young fans. In the 2000s, Allen continued to appear on stage and movies such as “True Love”, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”
By the 2010s, Allen’s productivity began to decline. After the last “Harry Potter” movie was released, his portrayal of Snape in the entire series received widespread praise. Then he continued to appear on the stage, such as “seminars.” In 2014, he directed and starred in a movie called “Little Chaos”. His last major live-action film was “Eye in the Sky” in 2015, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Rickman started experiencing serious medical problems in 2015, when he suffered a minor stroke. Subsequent medical investigation revealed that he had undiagnosed pancreatic cancer. It was later discovered that this cancer was advanced, and Allen only revealed this to his closest friends and family. Six months after the stroke, Allen died in London at the age of 69. Immediately after his death, many fans and celebrities in the entertainment industry expressed their condolences. Some tributes followed.
