The story of Armie Hammer's success and catastrophic fall from grace played out for the world to see during the throngs of the COVID-19 pandemic. After screenshots leaked online alleging that the actor had expressed his interest in cannibalistic violence and rape fantasies to former sexual partners, a slew of other women came out alleging abuse that the Social Network star perpetrated.
Even in 2022, the Los Angeles Police were investigating Hammer for sexual assault. It goes without saying that for all of these reasons and more, Hammer is effectively blacklisted in Hollywood. So, what is his net worth now? Let's take a look at what we know about his finances.
What is Armie Hammer's net worth?
Hammer made his name in Hollywood through roles in a slew of films over the years. However, his family has been famous for roughly a century now. Hammer's grandfather Armand Hammer was a prominent American business manager and owner who is most famous for starting Occidental Petroleum, a company that he ran from 1957 until his death in 1990.

It's clear that the Hammer family knows what they're doing in the business world, but what is the actor's net worth?
As of 2024, he has a net worth of roughly $10,000, per Celebrity Net Worth, a steep decline from the $10 million he was reportedly worth in 2022.
Armie Hammer relocated to the Cayman Islands from 2022 to mid-2024 where he worked as a time-share salesman.
A report from Variety confirmed that Hammer had left his acting career behind in the wake of the allegations levied against him and instead pivoted to selling time-shares. Indeed, "He is working at the resort and selling time-shares. He is working at a cubicle," a source for Variety explained. "The reality is he’s totally broke, and is trying to fill the days and earn money to support his family."
According to LA Mag, Hammer sold his Los Angeles home in 2021 for $5 million during his split from his estranged wife, Elizabeth Chambers. The source for Variety further noted that Hammer worked as the manager of an apartment complex prior to taking on the job selling time-shares. He reportedly relocated to the Cayman Islands to be able to see his two children, who are currently residing on the island with Elizabeth. Armie also spent part of his own childhood living there.
Armie Hammer is now living in Los Angeles in an apartment.
After spending about two years in the Cayman Islands, Armie Hammer returned to Los Angeles in August 2024. However, times are still looking tough for the disgraced TV star. In an Instagram video posted on Aug. 27, 2024, Armie revealed that he's selling his black pickup truck, which he gifted himself in 2017, due to the high cost of gas. Standing next to the truck at a CarMax lot, he explained, "I can’t afford it. I can’t afford the gas anymore."
He added, "Here’s to new beginnings. It’s my birthday tomorrow. I will be starting my birthday in a new car, in a new apartment," marking a new chapter in his life.
Although he's parting with his beloved truck, Armie mentioned he's now driving a hybrid that costs him only about $10 a month in gas.
