Stephen Graham, the acclaimed British actor renowned for his compelling portrayals in productions like This Is England and Boardwalk Empire, has solidified his status as a versatile and respected figure in the entertainment industry. Read on to find out the net worth of Stephen Graham and how he became such a star.
Who is Stephen Graham?
At 51 years old, Stephen Graham has shot up in the world through his talent of acting and producing. Born in Kirkby, Merseyside, the actor had a difficult start to life where he experienced racial discrimination, due to his dad being half Jamaican.
He also suffered from depression, where he said to The Sunday Times: “I know the loneliness, isolation and feeling you can’t cope in the world.” Despite this, from a young age he knew he wanted to pursue his dream, and he went to Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance in London.
His family
Stephen Graham got married to Hannah Walters in 2008 and they now have two children. His wife Hannah is also an actor and the couple have starred in the same productions multiple times! Projects such as This is England, Boiling Point and the new A Thousand Blows on Disney+ and Hulu.
Stephen Graham films and TV shows
You may know him from Peaky Blinders as ‘Hayden Stagg’ , or from the classic 2006 This is England as ‘Andrew “Combo” Gascoigne’, but recent projects are A Thousand Blows and Adolescence. A Thousand Blows is a series on Disney+, based in 1880s East End London, where characters are drawn into an underground world of bare-knuckle boxing where enemies – one being ‘Sugar’, played by Stephen Graham – of main character ‘Hezekiah Moscow’ challenge him to a vicious showdown. A great deal of the story line and characters (which was based off of a true story) was actually helped to curate by Graham and his wife Hannah Walters!
In 2023, Graham was awarded an OBE for services to drama. In a heartwarming Instagram post he dedicated the award to his mother who sadly passed away a few months prior.
Known currently for his work as the dad in Adolescence, a reviewer from RadioTimes.com stated “there’s simply no one better equipped to inhabit this type of character and story, and the final scene, in particular, will shatter you own heart into a million pieces.” The four-part Netflix drama depicts a modern-day story of a young boy who has been accused of the violent killing of a female classmate. The show explores how misogyny leads to violence and the dangers of children on social media – especially with internet faces such as Andrew Tate sharing controversial views. In a GQ Magazine interview, Graham explained he wanted to get to the bottom of why there was a wave of violence among young boys towards girls in the country and to share that there is a whole other world inside children’s phones that parents rarely know about.
In an amazing response to the show with 66 million viewers watching in just a fortnight, the UK government have now pledged to have Adolescence shown in schools, in an urge to warn young people of the dangers of social media and ‘incel culture’.
Stephen Graham’s net worth
With his own production company Matriarch Productions, and his numerous well-known projects over the years, it’s safe to say money-wise, Stephen Graham is doing pretty well.
Currently, in 2025, Graham has a net worth of $6 million, translating to around £4.6 million! For future plans and projects, the actor doesn’t feel there will be a season two of Adolescence – but would love to explore the one-shot format of it in another way.
