Hugh Laurie is a multi-talented English actor, who owns a net worth of $40 million. In fact the star himself had never publicized his earnings and it is not known exactly, what amount he had already saved, that’s why its number varies according to the source. But it is known for sure that he earned $700, 000 per each episode of cult series “House”, which made him internationally popular (estimated by Celebritynetworth).

And finally he met his finest hour, when got the main role in drama series “House”.
