Have you ever wondered how rich Len Wiseman is, as of mid- 2016? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Wiseman’s net worth is as high as $15 million, earned through his successful career in Hollywood. In addition to directing movies and TV series, Wiseman also works as a writer and producer, and he directed some commercials and music videos in the past, which also improved his wealth.
Len Wiseman grew up in Freemont and went to the American High School, and after matriculation he studied film at the De Anza College in Cupertino, California.
Wiseman’s career launched in 1994 in Roland Emmerich’s “Stargate”; Len worked as a property assistant and continued to collaborate with Emmerich in “Independence Day” (1996) starring Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum, and “Godzilla” (1998) with Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, and Maria Pitillo. In the meantime, Wiseman was also a part of another blockbuster called “Men in Black” (1997) starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. These projects grossed more than a billion dollars worldwide, and also increased Wiseman’s net worth.
Wiseman gained a lot of experience working on such successful movies, so he started directing his commercials and music videos. After making a commercial for Sony, he created several videos for such bands and musicians as Megadeth, Static-X, En Vogue, Rufus Wainwright, and Quarashi. Wiseman’s directorial movie debut was “Underworld” in 2003, starring Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, and Shane Brolly; although it didn’t go well with the critics, the saga about vampires and werewolves grossed almost $100 million worldwide and generated a lot of money to Wiseman’s account.

However, Wiseman’s highest-grossing movie to date is the fourth instalment of the Die Hard series called “Live Free or Die Hard” (2007) starring Bruce Willis, Justin Long, and Timothy Olyphant. The estimated budget was $110 million, but the movie earned more than $380 million, making Wiseman a rich man. He didn’t direct the third part of the Underworld series “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” in 2009, but worked as a producer instead.
Wiseman also produced “Underworld: Awakening” in 2012, and will produce the upcoming “Underworld: Blood Wars” that will come out in 2017.After huge earnings from the first three movies he made, Wiseman took a little break but returned with the remake of “Total Recall” (2012) starring Colin Farrell, Bokeem Woodbine, and Bryan Cranston. The film managed to gross almost $200 million, mostly outside the US, and it’s the latest Wiseman has made thus far. Most recently, he directed one episode of “Sleepy Hollow” (2013), “Lucifer” (2015), and “A.P.B.” (2016), and it’s announced that he will make “Die Hard Year One” with Bruce Willis shortly.
Regarding his personal life, Len Wiseman was married to a kindergarten teacher Dana, but they divorced around Christmas 2003 when Len started dating actress Kate Beckinsale, who starred in his “Underworld” movie, and who also ended a relationship with actor Michael Sheen and married Wiseman in 2004. However, in 2015 the pair announced that they were divorcing.

Len Wiseman Quotes
- I’d been jumping on movies as the prop guy or drawing storyboards before I joined the art department on Stargate, Independence Day and Godzilla. When I was pitching the script for Underworld, I did 12 detailed production drawings, which the producers later told me made them feel more comfortable about going with a first- time director.
- Die Hard (1988), Indiana Jones and Lethal Weapon (1987) were the movies that really kicked it off for me in high school. I saw a making-of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) documentary and thought, “Man, that’s the job I want to do”.
- [on the film Underworld (2003)] It was quite shocking, the DVD sales had matched the box-office sales, and it definitely has been something that has grown.
