31. Tom Hardy

Net Worth: $30 Million
Annual Bodyguard Cost: $20,000

It’s a bit of a shocker to imagine Bane requiring a bodyguard, isn’t it? Yet, Tom Hardy, who catapulted to superstardom with his riveting performance in the smash hit Inception, shares a bond that’s as solid as a rock with his security man, Big John. Their camaraderie is the stuff of legends, a friendship that transcends their professional roles.

You wouldn’t want to tangle with Big John, a bodyguard who even totes a high-powered torch and a folding knife at London parties. He’s a constant shadow of Hardy, his charge, ensuring his safety at all times. Hardy’s $20,000 investment in this human fortress named Big John is proving to be a shrewd move, a thrilling testament to the world of celebrity protection.
