McMahon, an Australian citizen, had been living in the United States over the course of his acting career in Hollywood. Kelly McMahon said that the actor died "peacefully" after a "valiant effort to overcome cancer.”

“Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible.

Julian McMahon Net Worth

Julian McMahon's exact net worth is not publicly known. There are multiple estimates on websites such as Celebrity Net Worth and The Richest, which place the figure somewhere around $16 million. He earned significantly from his acting career, with a 2008 Reuters report stating that he earned somewhere between $125,000 to 155,000 per episode at peak during Nip/Tuck.

A significant portion of McMahon's wealth has been parked in the form of real estate both in the United States, where he lived, as well as in Australia, his home country. He purchased a home in Hollywood Hills, just below the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, in 1997, for around $712,000. He sold it in 2015 for $2.18 million, netting a profit of around $1.5 million, per a listing on Urban.com.

McMahon and his sisters also inherited several high-value properties in Australia from their mother, Lady Sonia McMahon. Their childhood home in Bellevue Hill was sold for $9 million in 2011 and again for $17 million in 2019, with the proceeds shared among the siblings.

A second French Riviera–style residence in Bellevue Hill, listed between 2012 and 2020, was sold for approximately $6.25 million. Additionally, the family’s Palm Beach weekender was sold in 2012 for around $2 million.
