Omar Sharif net worthy of in 2014-2015 is certainly $500,000 while like others Omar Sharif also receives a commission by sponsorship, etc, advertisements, endorsement and featuring. Sharif has over 100 performing credits to his name. We also added few films/dramas earnings which include Shaytan al-Sahra, Sira` Fi al-Wadi, Siraa Fil-Mina, Goha. Sharif studied at British Victoria University, the University of Cairo, and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Artwork in London. The just reason behind Sharif’s negative picture among most Arabs is certainly his very unsympathetic in addition to frosty response to the problem of Palestine. He was a fantastic persona with a general wittiness that produced him larger-than-lifestyle in Hollywood amid 1960s. As a result, in my own personal reckoning, he previously missed some great possibilities whereby he could possess directed / created a documentary underscoring the bottom realities of Palestinians getting suffered as a result of Israeli occupation forces. Simply what sort of Jews hardly ever missed such possibilities to produce such function to justify their occupation of Holy Lands, every Arab actor contain the same best which are generally unemployed. Sharif had generally reflected in his functions different functions mirroring himself as somebody indigenous to anywhere and all over the place. Nonetheless, this capacity could be tackled by present Arab actors / media statistics; Omar Sharif Net Value: Omar Sharif was an Egyptian actor who acquired a net worthy of of $2 million. since it isn’t Omar Sharif who acquired had this possibility. Omar Sharif was created in Alexandria, Egypt in April 1932. All albums/songs earnings listed below. We estimated annual income around $58,824

Quotes
| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [on his favorite movies] I don't watch any films. Billy Elliot (2000) is the only film I've seen in the last 25 years. Oh, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). Both of which I loved!. |
| 2 | [on being cast by David Lean in Lawrence of Arabia (1962)] They chose me for Lawrence of Arabia (1962) because I spoke English, had black hair, black eyes and a mustache. It was all luck. I was taken in a plane to the desert to meet David, and as we came in to land we could see him sitting all by himself. We landed right next to him, but he didn't move one step. When I got off the plane, he didn't say 'hello'. He simply walked round me to see my profile. Finally, he said 'That's very good, Omar. Let's go to the make-up tent.' I tried on a mustache, and it was decided I would grow one. I've shaved it off for a couple of films, but otherwise I've had it ever since. |
| 3 | [on Che! (1969)] I wasn't satisfied with it. It was very awful because it was a movie about a very important figure in socialism and communism, and it was produced by the CIA. I didn't know and I wasn't aware of that. I had put a condition with them that this movie wouldn't offend the reputation of Ernesto 'Che' Guevara. |
| 4 | [on his prowess as a lover] See these hands? They are old. But they are soft. Only good for caressing. |
| 5 | [on Barbra Streisand] I thought she was not very attractive at first. But gradually she cast her spell over me. I fell madly in love with her talent. The feeling was mutual for four months - the time it took to shoot the movie. |
| 6 | [on sex] Making love? It's communion with a woman. The bed is our holy table. There I find passion and purification. |
| 7 | [in his 1977 autobiography] I might as well say it; the United States disconcerted me. Especially its women... And, yet, they weren't at fault. I found America disconcerting because it was unlike any country. It represented a world in which I was out beyond my depth. I learned to think and to live in a certain way among people who had much in common... And then all of a sudden, I'd been transported into a world in which everything was foreign: its emotions, sympathy, weaknesses, ideals, vices, envies, malice. America had its own values... I watched its way of being, its way of living, and I failed to understand. The self-confidence, superiority, and independence of the women... These women are different from the ones I'd known... In my country women are dependent. They blush. And I like that; I'm used to that... Curiously enough, American women don't blush. Was I to blame? I was a Europeanized Middle Eastern man. It was asking a lot to make me an Americanized Middle Eastern man as well. Asking too much perhaps. |
| 8 | I lived very humbly, in fear, I accepted the films they wanted me to do and even films I didn't want to do and I didn't like because I was afraid of saying no. |
| 9 | Since 1966 I have never lived with a woman, I have only lived in hotels and eaten in restaurants. Mine was a very happy life, I am not complaining, |
| 10 | I had a couple of adventures with women, but not the great love. I had a great love once with my wife (Faten Hamama) that has to be said. |
| 11 | When I made Doctor Zhivago (1965) they sold me to MGM for $15,000. I made the film for $15,000. My American lawyer said 'I can sue them', and I said no, leave it, I don't want them to think of me as someone who only wants money. |
| 12 | [on being the "only Arab" working in Hollywood] I had to be very careful. For example, Columbia Pictures signed a five-year contract with me when I had made Lawrence of Arabia (1962) but they didn't pay me anything. |
| 13 | Every moment is like that for me now and that is how it should be. To live well at my age you always have to think about concentrating your attention on the moment that is now and the moment you are living because you don't know how much longer you may live. |
| 14 | When one sees what happens in the world between the religions, the different religions - killing each other and murdering each other, it's disgusting and as far as I am concerned it's ridiculous. So I thought I might be useful, I believe in God and I believe in religion, but believe religions should belong to you. The extraordinary thing is that the Jews believe that only the Jews can go to paradise, the Christians believe that only a Christian can go to paradise and the Muslims believe that only the Muslims can go to paradise. Now why should God, in His great justice, make somebody born that cannot go to paradise - it is absurd. Please forgive me I don't mean to say it's absurd, people made it absurd. |
| 15 | [final sentence in his autobiography] Actually, I want today to be like yesterday... Is that asking too much? |
| 16 | I was a lonely man living out of suitcases in hotels and when you arrive in a new place and you don't know anyone, the only place where you can go if you're a well known person to have dinner alone is a casino. You go to the casino, have dinner by yourself, no one criticizes you and then you play a little bit to give yourself some emotion to fight the boredom of being by yourself, get some excitement. That's all. |
| 17 | I stopped making movies because for the last twenty five years I've been making a lot of rubbish because I was in debt all the time. You know I used to gamble quite a bit and then I was always broke. I was always one film behind my debts and so at some point you know I had to work all the time to support my family and myself and all my expensive tastes and then I decided that it became ridiculous at some point. It got to the stage where my own grandchildren use to make fun of my films, which is very serious. They used to say, the previous one was terrible grandfather but this one is even worse so I decided it was time to stop and keep some dignity, especially vis a vis my grandchildren and so I decided to wait for something decent to come - something that I'd like, that I would feel enthusiastic about. |
| 18 | I said to [George W. Bush], even before he entered Iraq: "Forget about all that. We, the Arabs . . . are not like regular countries. You will drown there". He didn't believe me. |
| 19 | I lived in America for a long time. Only ten per cent of all Americans have a passport. In other words, ninety per cent never left America. They don't know anything. The typical Middle Eastern man is far more intelligent. |
| 20 | [interview with Diane Saenger, 2006] I've stopped [playing bridge] altogether. I decided I didn't want to be a slave to any passion any more except for my work. I had too many passions: bridge, horses, gambling. I want to live a different kind of life, be with my family more because I didn't give them enough time. |
| 21 | [on Peter O'Toole] The very prototype of the ham. |
| 22 | Aggressive feminists scare me. |
| 23 | It made me the hero of the whole of France. To head-butt a cop is the dream of every Frenchman. |
| 24 | I'd rather be playing bridge than making a bad movie. |
| 25 | I definitely want to do more theatre now. Or, two weeks in a film for a remarkable amount of money. |
