Christopher Johnathan James Nolan was born on 30 July 1970, in London, England, and is now a British-American film producer, director, screenwriter, editor and cinematographer, probably best known as the creator of “Insomnia”, “The Dark Knight” series, “The Prestige” and many other movies, during a career which began in the late 1980s.
So just how rich is Chris Nolan, as of early 2018? Celebrity dot money estimates that Chris’ net worth is as high as $150 million, thanks to his popularity worldwide in Nolan’s job as a producer and director. Nowadays he is known to be one of the richest people in US, who is still active in the world of show business.

Chris Nolan’s mother was an American citizen, and that’s why in his early years Christopher was raised in two different cultures on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, mostly in London and Chicago, Illinois. Little Chris at the age of 8 already showed some interest in making movies, as he was playing with father’s camera, and then while attending University College, London (UCL), Nolan began making short and simple movies. Nolan attended an independent school, Haileybury and Imperial Service College in Hertford Heath, Hertfordshire, and later graduated with a BA degree in English literature from UCL – he apparently chose the latter specifically for its film-making facilities, a Steenbeck editing suite and 16 mm film cameras!
The debut which began the rise of Nolan’s net worth was made in 1998, when his movie “Following” appeared on screens. This was a mostly successful movie about a young man in London, however, it wasn’t the greatest hour in Nolan’s career: in 2002 he was able to make the movie “Insomnia”, which later became really popular and raised Chris’s net worth considerably, almost immediately.
With passing years, Nolan’s net worth rose rapidly. His films have starred many famous actors, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, a character from the “Inception”, and Al Pacino from “Insomnia”. Furthermore, Chris was described as a genius in cinematography by DiCaprio not so long ago, so we can only expect his net worth to continue to grow.
Of course, it is not right to forget Nolan’s “Batman” movies. He has released three – “Batman Begins” in 2005, “The Dark Knight” in 2008 and “The Dark Knight Rises” in 2012. This great trilogy with the famous Christian Bale as the main character has certainly helped Nolan to become popular worldwide, and his net worth to escalate accordingly. Most recently, his wealth has been boosted by his involvement in “Interstellar”, “Quay” and “Dunkirk” as writer and producer.
Talking about Chris’ personal life, he has been married to Emma Thomas since 1997 – Emma is also a film producer known for co-producing such movies as “Inception” and “The Prestige”. The couple met when Nolan was only 19 years old. Together they live in Los Angeles, California, and have four children.
