Nicole Kidman doesn’t just play a witch on the big screen; according to the legendary actor and producer, she also uses magic in her real life.
Reprising her role as Gillian Owens, the free-spirited sibling accidentally responsible for murder in the film adaptation of Alice Hoffman’s bestselling Practical Magic series, Kidman often “freezes people out” by writing their names on paper and putting the pieces into her refrigerator’s ice cube tray.
Witch is a role that seems tailor-made for the preternaturally talented Oscar and Emmy-winner. After starring alongside Sandra Bullock in the first installment of Practical Magic (1998), Kidman also played Isabel Bigelow, a real-life witch looking to live a lower-profile life in Bewitched (2005).
Kidman has revealed that her favorite spells are actually love spells, which could explain the string of high-profile romances that keep the star in the headlines even when she’s not on screen.
As a then-unknown actor, Kidman first charmed megastar Tom Cruise on the set of Days of Thunder (1990). The couple wed that same year and were married for nearly 11 years until their divorce in 2001. Her most recent relationship was with country crooner Keith Urban, whom Kidman married in 2006. But in 2025, Kidman filed for divorce from her husband of 20 years amid rumors of infidelity. That divorce was finalized on January 6, 2026.
Kidman and Urban agreed to waive all rights of spousal and child support during their divorce proceedings; after all, both were world-famous stars with substantial fortunes of their own.
However, with four decades of blockbuster acting and producing credits to her name — in TV and film — Kidman’s net worth is rumored to be more than three times her ex’s.

Kidman’s blockbuster paydays didn’t end with the big screen. While salary details for many of her more recent films have remained undisclosed, her paychecks for television have been nearly as impressive.
Not only did Kidman co-star in the HBO series Big Little Lies, but she was also a producer. She reportedly took home between $250,000 and $350,000 per episode during Season 1 and $1 million per episode during Season 2 — and those figures don’t include her producing fees.

Kidman also made $1 million per episode for Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers, and $1 million per episode of the HBO series The Undoing.
But some of Kidman’s most valuable work may happen behind the camera. In 2018, Kidman’s production company, Blossom Films, signed a multi-year first-look deal with Amazon Studios to develop both television series and theatrical films. This contract has already yielded the dramatic miniseries Expats, Holland, and Scarpetta, with another series, Girls and Their Horses, currently in the works.
Who is richer: Nicole Kidman or Keith Urban?
Urban may have written a song called “Parallel Line,” but when it comes to wealth, there’s no comparison. Kidman’s estimated net worth is more than three times that of her former husband.
In 2026, Celebrity Net Worth estimates Urban’s net worth at around $75 million. His fortune stems from his country-pop music career, concert performances, and stints as a judge on American Idol and The Voice Australia.
Nicole Kidman’s early life and acting career
Kidman is famous for her Australian accent, but she was actually born in Hawaii, on June 20, 1967. Her parents, Antony and Janelle Kidman, were living there on student visas. Kidman also has a younger sister, Antonia, who is a TV host in Australia.
When the family returned to Australia a few years later, Kidman began taking ballet. Instantly hooked, she began performing in local theater and has admitted that while she is naturally very shy, acting helped her gain confidence.

She attended Phillips Street Theatre during her high school years, where she met her friend Naomi Watts. There, she was encouraged to pursue acting full time, and she dropped out of high school at age 16 in 1983.
Shortly thereafter, Kidman landed her first film role in the holiday movie Bush Christmas (1983). One year later, she was cast in the Disney series Five Mile Creek. Five years later, she scored her breakthrough as grieving mother Rae Ingram in the psychological thriller Dead Calm (1989).
Nicole Kidman’s personal life
Kidman famously met Tom Cruise on the set of Days of Thunder; they got married when Kidman was just 23 years old and would go on to co-star in two more films together: Far & Away and Eyes Wide Shut. They also adopted two children together: a daughter, Isabella (b. 1992), and a son, Connor (b. 1995), although they reportedly have a strained relationship with Kidman.
Kidman has since reflected on how young she was during their marriage, telling Vanity Fair “I was a child, really, when I got married… And I needed to grow up.”

Four years after her divorce from Cruise, Kidman met Urban in 2005, at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles. She revealed she instantly developed a crush on the heartthrob singer, but he didn’t call her for four months. They married the next year.
In 2008, their eldest daughter, Sunday Rose, was born, and in 2010, their younger daughter, Faith Margaret, came along.
Kidman has remained mum about why her marriage to Urban ended. While there have been rumors of infidelity, she summed up her current situation simply, telling Vogue, “The future, it’s completely unknown to me right now. It’s strange.” But she remains optimistic, adding that she can either “curl up” or “go forward with an enormous amount of hope.”
Nicole Kidman’s real estate portfolio
According to Architectural Digest, Kidman and Urban’s multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio was divided in their divorce. Kidman kept the couple’s $3.47 million Northumberland, Tennessee, compound, which has seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and, naturally, a home theater.
Kidman also got the keys to their $4.7 million Beverly Hills mansion, which has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a wraparound deck on the second floor that’s perfect for entertaining.
Across the Pacific in Australia, Kidman also reportedly kept the circa-1878 farmhouse the couple purchased in 2008 for an undisclosed sum. It boasts an indoor pool and a separate guest cottage.
It is unclear who retained the former couple’s $4 million Sydney penthouse, $10 million Manhattan mansion, or $3.5 million TriBeCa townhouse — but Urban’s got to live somewhere, right?
