Olivier Martinez has a net worth of $500,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth — revised sharply downward in November 2026 after court filings in his custody and child support case with ex-wife Halle Berry revealed the French actor earns an average of just $776.34 a month in acting residuals.
The 60-year-old, once one of Hollywood’s most in-demand European leading men after his 2002 breakout in Unfaithful, disclosed the figure in a declaration filed with his request for more child support from Berry, who already pays him $8,000 a month. The filings were obtained by TMZ and reported by Page Six on 10 November 2026.
The $776-a-Month Residuals and the Child Support Request
According to court documents reported by TMZ and Page Six, Martinez has asked the court to raise the child support he receives from Berry. Under the August 2023 divorce settlement, Berry pays $8,000 a month — $96,000 a year — plus 4.3% of any annual income above $2 million.
Martinez argues the $8,000 figure was set when the couple shared physical custody of their 13-year-old son, Maceo, equally; he now cares for Maceo about 82% of the time, against Berry’s 18%. He has not named a new figure, instead asking for updated financial disclosures from Berry so a new calculation can be prepared. They return to court on 17 December 2026.
He is also seeking $240,000 in legal fees, citing limited income and heavy monthly expenses. The $776.34 in residuals — about $9,316 a year — is separate from his child support; the previous month’s residuals were lower still at $288.33, per The Blast. Berry has made the same point before: in September 2024 she said she had spent over $200,000 in legal fees on their parenting disputes, including $80,000 toward his, and alleged he lived off her child support.
Early Life
Olivier Martinez was born on 12 January 1966 in Paris, into a working-class family. His mother was French; his father, of Spanish heritage, was born in what was then Spanish Morocco and worked as a professional boxer before becoming a mechanic. Martinez left school young, worked jobs including selling jeans and bartending, and boxed as a welterweight like his father until a car accident ended his sporting ambitions. Friends encouraged him to act, and at 23 he entered the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique in Paris.
Career
Martinez debuted on screen in 1990 and drew wider attention in IP5: L’île aux pachydermes (1992), opposite Yves Montand, earning his first César nomination for Most Promising Actor. His breakthrough came with Un, deux, trois, soleil (1993), winning the César for Most Promising Actor in 1994, followed by The Horseman on the Roof (1995) opposite Juliette Binoche.
He moved into English-language film with Before Night Falls (2000), alongside Javier Bardem and Johnny Depp. His Hollywood breakthrough was 2002’s Unfaithful, playing Paul Martel, the bookseller who has an affair with Diane Lane’s married Connie Sumner. The thriller grossed over $119 million worldwide. He followed it with S.W.A.T. (2003), which grossed over $207 million, and Taking Lives (2004) opposite Angelina Jolie, but never built the sustained blockbuster career his early success promised.
He appeared alongside Berry in Dark Tide (2012), then moved into US television: Revenge (2014), Texas Rising (2015), Mars (2016) and Loot (2022), as Jean-Pierre Voland, a love interest for Maya Rudolph’s Molly Wells. In 2024 he appeared in the French thriller Tigres et Hyènes.
Personal Life
In the 1990s Martinez dated his Horseman on the Roof co-star Juliette Binoche, and later Mira Sorvino. In 2003 he began dating Kylie Minogue; they stayed together through her breast cancer treatment, with Martinez frequently travelling with her, and separated in 2007 after about four years.
He met Halle Berry on Dark Tide in 2010. They married in France in July 2013 and their son, Maceo Robert Martinez, was born that October. In November 2012, during Berry’s custody dispute with ex-partner Gabriel Aubry over daughter Nahla, Martinez and Aubry fought at Berry’s Los Angeles home.
Martinez and Berry separated and filed for divorce in October 2015, just over two years after the wedding; the case was finalised only in August 2023. Under the settlement they shared joint custody, Berry paid $8,000 a month plus 4.3% of income above $2 million, and covered Maceo’s tuition, health insurance and medical costs.
The 2026 Custody Dispute
The dispute escalated in October 2026. Martinez sought a domestic violence restraining order, alleging Berry had abused Maceo on 26 September. Per court documents, he alleged Berry entered Maceo’s bedroom while he played a virtual reality game, jumped on him, put her hands around his neck and choked him, and that Maceo then called him in distress asking to be picked up.
Berry vehemently denied it. She said she and Maceo had been play-wrestling and insisted she never choked him, restricted his breathing or abused him. Her attorneys called the accusations meritless and misleading.
On 1 October a judge granted a temporary restraining order and cut Berry’s parenting time. After several days of hearings, Judge Shelley Kaufman dissolved it on 29 October and denied a permanent order, finding Martinez had not met the burden of proof. The custody split stayed changed — about 82/18 in Martinez’s favour, with Berry denied overnight visits and joint legal custody retained — and that shift underpins his support request.
Financial Disclosures and Legal Fees
Per TMZ, Martinez’s declaration listed $17,555.99 in monthly expenses and proposed spending — over $210,000 a year against about $9,300 in annual residuals — plus $43,206.22 in financial accounts and real estate valued at $550,000, described as his only significant asset.
In early November he asked the judge to order Berry to pay $240,000 toward his attorney fees: $176,522.58 outstanding plus $63,477.42 anticipated — over four times what he reports holding in accounts. He argues he cannot keep paying his lawyers while Berry has far greater means.
Olivier Martinez Net Worth
Celebrity Net Worth now lists Martinez’s net worth at $500,000, revised in its 10 November 2026 update, with his reported assets and legal liabilities cited as key factors.
The figure is an estimate and is contested: other trackers still list $10 million to $30 million, figures predating the November filings, and CNW’s own actors category page still shows the older $10 million. The $500,000 reflects his own court disclosures rather than an independent audit of his wealth.
His support and legal-fee requests remain unresolved, and custody could change again after the 17 December hearing. For now, a former Hollywood leading man reporting under $800 a month in residuals already receives at least $96,000 a year in child support — and wants more.
Net worth figures are estimates only.
