Taika Waititi’s Low-Key Shirt at Chris Hemsworth’s Birthday Party Downplays His Millionaire Status

Chris Hemsworth’s 42nd birthday party in 2025 was nothing short of legendary. The Thor star celebrated in sunny Ibiza aboard a lavish yacht. He was joined by his inner circle, including brothers Luke and Liam Hemsworth. Matt Damon, Rita Ora, and her filmmaker husband Taika Waititi also attended. Ora and Waititi looked like they had a blast with the other A-listers, but it’s Waititi’s shirt that’s causing a stir. Here’s what he wore and why it’s raising eyebrows.

Taiki Waititi’s shirt he wore at Chris Hemsworth’s birthday bash is raising eyebrows

Chris Hemsworth and his A-list buddies and brother looked like they had a great time at his birthday bash. According to TMZ, the event unfolded after a chic lunch at the famed Casa Jondal, followed by a scenic boat ride where laughter, toasts, and playful moments, like Matt Damon’s minor dinghy mishap, set the tone.

Rita Ora turned heads in a purple polka-dot bikini paired with sheer leggings and bold accessories. Meanwhile, Taika Waititi kept things cheeky. Photos from DailyMail.com show Waititi wearing a “Working Class Hero” T-shirt — an amusing contrast to the glitzy surroundings. Waititi paired the shirt with a white baseball cap, khaki shorts, and camel-colored sandals.

Waititi’s shirt shows a strong contrast to his present-day reality. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the celebrity’s current net worth stands at $13 million. However, he didn’t grow up rich. Waititi spent much of his childhood in the small coastal community of Raukokore on New Zealand’s East Cape, where life revolved around fishing, farming, and a tight-knit Māori community. His father, a carver and painter from the Te Whānau-ā-Apanui iwi, lived a rural lifestyle, while his mother, a Russian-Jewish schoolteacher and writer, was based in Wellington. He’s recalled growing up without much money, wearing hand-me-down clothes, and making his fun with friends rather than relying on expensive toys or activities.
