Michael Hutchence Net Worth: Michael Hutchence was an Australian musician and actor who had a net worth of $1 million at the time of his death. Michael’s wealth and estate has been a mystery over the last 20 years. Despite earning an estimated $60 million dollars during his career (before taxes), Michael reportedly died with just $40,000 in his bank account. His total assets after being liquidated amounted to $700,000 after liabilities were subtracted. All of this remaining money was reportedly eaten up by lawyers and other various fees after his death. What’s shocking is that by most reasonable accounts, Michael should have had a minimum of $20 million worth of real estate, cash and investments. Yet he somehow died basically penniless. In 2005, it was revealed that Michael’s assets were being held by a complex series of trusts with a vague ownership structure. The trusts did not benefit Michael’s parents or daughter.
