Jay Hernandez came from humble beginnings before becoming the movie and TV star that he is today. While promoting Magnum P.I. with CBS Watch magazine, the actor said he grew up in a working class family who "struggled at times." He explained, "But we had each other and a roof over our heads, and somehow I got from Point A to Point B. But when Point B is Hollywood, it can take time to get comfortable with it. I'm still figuring this world out."
Though he's "made it" in Hollywood, Hernandez said he nearly quit early on. "I didn't work for years. I was going on auditions and not getting anywhere. I was ready to give up," he shared. But his manager told him to give it a bit more time, and three months later, he booked his breakout role in Crazy/Beautiful.
These days, Hernandez worth an estimated $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, and he bought a house in Hawaii with his hard-earned money. "I just bought a place there, so I'm very excited to get back," he told Hiluxury in 2019. "I'm shipping a bunch of stuff to Hawaii that feels like home, and incorporating some pieces that remind me of Los Angeles. It's going to be my home away from home."
