The past year has been quite successful for Hugh -- he raised more than $850,000 by auctioning off his shirts after each performance of Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway. Plus, he set a record for the highest weekly gross with his namesake show earning more than $2 million in its final week! His shows were sold out for ten weeks in NYC.

Way to go, Hugh!
