From the time when his nose was injured to his relationship with co-star Ben Stiller, fans have many questions about Owen Wilson. He might be famous for starring in hilarious movies like The Wedding Crashers, but the world watched as he went through a terrible time several years ago. Ever since then, his personal life has been filled with mystery.

Although Owen Wilson's net worth is as high as many other actors', he has fallen on hard times more than once. Owen Wilson's relationships and Owen Wilson's suicide attempt are two heartbreaking aspects of his life. In this article, we'll take a look at the actor's high net worth and the struggles Wilson has gone through that prove that even the wealthiest stars have some difficult experiences.

Owen Wilson's Net Worth Is High But He Has Had A Troubled Life

Owen Wilson has a $70 million net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and he has made money from his impressive resume of comedic movies. But even though he has such a high net worth, of course that doesn't mean that he hasn't struggled.

While Owen Wilson has struggled with his love life and mental health, there has also been a lot of controversy surrounding his family life. Wilson doesn't know his daughter Lyla and Varunie Vongsvirates said that Wilson hasn't even met her once.

Although no one knows the real story here unless Wilson confirms or denies his ex-girlfriend's claims, this is definitely proof that having a lot of money in the bank doesn't stop someone from having a troubled life.

According to an article in The Independent from 2016, Owen Wilson didn't open up much about his tough times. It seems like his troubles affected his career for a while. According to The Los Angeles Times, he decided not to appear in Tropic Thunder 2 and Matthew McConaughey took his place.

As a source told OK! Magazine,

“He always seemed like such a happy-go-lucky, mellow guy. But he has a dark side, and he was in a lot of pain... He's been to hell and back and then some. But those days are behind him now."

They also said:

“He's a survivor. He’s been kicked around and dumped, but he always manages to get back up."

Inside Owen Wilson's Relationships

Owen Wilson's high net worth doesn't change the fact that he has had some difficult romantic relationships. Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson had a dramatic relationship in the mid-2000s, which appears to be one of his most significant romances.

Although their relationship was full of highs and lows, Kate Hudson talked about the actor in an interview with Vogue in 2007 and had nothing but kind words. She said:

“Owen is such a lovely person, and I love him dearly. And I wish him beautiful things — health and everything that he desires in life.”

Since the stars are so rich and famous, it would be easy to think that they would have a perfect relationship and that there would be no reason for them to break up. But unfortunately, they broke up quite a few times, and they weren't able to stay together.

While the reason for Wilson and Hudson's final breakup is unclear, The Standard reported that one of Wilson's friends said that he found the end of their relationship to be difficult.

Who Has Owen Wilson Dated? (According to Nicki Swift, as of May 2024)

• Jade Duell (2010-2011)
• Caroline Lindqvist (began in 2013)
• Varunie Vongsvirates (unknown)

The source said:

"It was a pretty bad break up. Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him."

Although Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson haven't talked much about their time together, Wilson doesn't seem to have had many serious relationships. He appears to have casually dated, though. In 2023, former The Real Housewives of New York City cast member Sonja Morgan said she and Wilson slept together several times. It seems like it has sadly been tough for Wilson to find love, even though fans might assume that he could find someone easily thanks to his money.

When Was Owen Wilson's Suicide Attempt?

After Owen Wilson's heartbreaking suicide attempt in 2007, he shared that he suffered from depression from when he was 11 years old. He also shared that Andrew Wilson, his brother, was there for him after. Andrew came up with a manageable schedule for him afterward. It's heartbreaking to hear about these struggles and further proof that a high net worth doesn't stop anyone from experiencing them. According to Us Weekly, Wilson was also using cocaine at the time.

Wilson talked about how he was feeling with Esquire:

“I’ve been in sort of a lucky place of feeling pretty appreciative of things. I know everything’s kind of up and down, but when you get on one of these waves, you’ve gotta ride it as long as you can. … Feeling pretty grateful. Well, grateful’s one of those words that get used all the time. Appreciative. Of, you know, stuff.”
