Chris Hemsworth Net Worth: Thor Is People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, How Much Is The Avenger Making? [PHOTOS]

News have come out that the Australian actor who plays Almighty Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has just been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine - but what is hunky Chris Hemsworth's net worth right now?

Ever since it was announced he'd be playing the god of thunder in the first "Thor" movie - beating his own brother and former Miley Cyrus beau Liam Hemsworth for the role -, Chris has been making news consistently, from his choices of roles, his happy marriage to Spanish actress Elsa Pataky and even Chris Hemsworth's net worth after a long-running salary battle with the people running the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Last year, many news outlets such as UK's Metro reported that negotiations for "Avengers: Age of Ultron" were stalled, as Robert Downey Jr. (the Internet sensation who plays Tony Stark/Iron Man), the man with the biggest star power in the whole show, was fighting to get the rest of his cast a pay rise, a fact that many were sure would be interesting for Chris Hemsworth's net worth later on.

Due to his contract when he signed up for the first "Iron Man" film, Downey received a staggering $50 million for "Avengers," when the rest of the superhero cast only got $200,000 dollars. Once negotiations went through and everyone was happy according to Cinema Blend, the actors' salaries grew exponentially - and so did Chris Hemsworth's net worth.

Later on, Chris Hemsworth has become famous for being one of the most attractive men in show business. While he's humble in interviews, has a strong focus on family life (he has three children with Pataky: daughter India born in 2012 and twin sons Tristan and Sasha, born earlier this year), the man who plays the Norse god with the famous hammer always gets a lot of love from female fans due to his dashing good looks.

Currently, Chris Hemsworth's net worth stands at $50 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, but without a doubt his salary will be increasing from now on, seeing as Disney recently confirmed that they will be making Marvel Cinematic Universe movies at least until 2020!
