This article speaks on the net worth of Jack Nicholson, an American retired actor, and filmmaker.

John Joseph Nicholson who was born on April 22, 1937, was an American retired actor and filmmaker. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time. Nicholson grew up in Neptune City. Before starting high school, his family moved to an apartment in Spring Lake, New Jersey. “Nick”, as he was known to his high school friends, attended nearby Manasquan High School, where he was voted “Class Clown” by the Class of 1954.

He was in detention every day for a whole school year. According to reports, a theatre and a drama award at the school are named in his honor. In 2004, Nicholson attended his 50-year high school reunion accompanied by his aunt Lorraine.

In 1957, Nicholson joined the California Air National Guard, a move he sometimes characterized as an effort to “dodge the draft”; the Korean War–era’s Military Selective Service Act was still in force, and draftees were required to perform up to two years of active duty. After completing the Air Force’s basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, Nicholson performed weekend drills and two-week annual training as a firefighter assigned to the unit based at the Van Nuys Airport.

During the Berlin Crisis of 1961, Nicholson was called up for several months of extended active duty, and he was discharged at the end of his enlistment in 1962. Nicholson first came to California in 1950, when he was 13, to visit his sister. He took a job as an office worker for animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at the MGM cartoon studio. They offered him an entry-level job as an animator, but he declined, citing his desire to become an actor.

In 1970, Nicholson starred in Five Easy Pieces alongside Karen Black in what became his persona-defining role. Nicholson and Black were nominated for Academy Awards for their performances. In 1974, Nicholson starred in Roman Polanski’s noir thriller Chinatown and was again nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Jake Gittes, a private detective.

In 2001, Nicholson starred in The Pledge, a mystery drama where he portrays retired police detective Jerry Black, who vows to find a murderer of a young girl. Nicholson was praised for his performance; Bob Graham of the San Francisco Chronicle called it “deeply felt” compared to some of Nicholson’s other films.

In his private life, Nicholson is notorious for his inability to “settle down”; he has fathered six children by five women but married only once. Nicholson’s marriage was to The Terror co-star Sandra Knight from 1962 to 1968, though they separated in 1966. The couple had one daughter, Jennifer (born September 13, 1963).

In 1971 and 1972, Nicholson was in a relationship with singer Michelle Phillips, the ex-wife of his best friend Dennis Hopper, during which time she suffered a miscarriage. Nicholson’s longest relationship was 17 years with actress Anjelica Huston, from 1973 until 1990.
