Tom Hardy Lost Millions Of His Own Money Making His Taboo Series

According to an anonymous source quoted in The Sun, Hardy lost more than $2.5 million when he created Taboo Productions Ltd for what has so far has turned out to be a financial flop. His total investment was in the neighborhood of $13 million, while the show’s income has thus far only come to less than $11 million – hence the $2.5 million loss. And according to that source, no one should be too surprised at this outcome: Things aren’t all bleak for Hardy, though. The source also says that the actor/producer/writer hopes to recoup his losses on on eventual DVD and streaming revenue on the show, and that despite it being perceived as a flop, now the BBC has also given the green light to a followup season. And, it should be noted, as a bankable movie star (and with a net worth of $30 million) Hardy is certainly in a position to take financial risks on creatively satisfying projects.
