Slowly and steadily the pair kept honing their crafts and started tasting success. In 2005, Paul broke out as an actor in the movie Cinderella Man and snagged an Oscar nomination in the category Best Supporting Actor for his role.

The Saving Private Ryan actor's wife is a multifaceted talent in her own right. She is a producer and director in movies namely A Woman Like Me, Three Girls and Their Brother, and All Is Bright. 

With her support, Paul has managed to accumulate a net worth of $25 million. Along with the whooping net worth, the couple shares an 18-year-old son named Samuel.

A risk taker, the talented man changed his career in his 50s when he left academia to join the administration of Major Baseball League. He was appointed the president of National League and soon after became the commissioner of Baseball in 1989. But, Paul’s father died just five months after his promotion due to a heart attack. 

Along with the Oscar nominee's father, his mother was also a sharp mind. Paul’s mother Toni S. Giamatti was an actress before she eventually gave up the creative profession after marriage. 

Paul is not the only child of his talented parents. Among three children, he is the youngest one. One of his siblings, brother Marcus Giamatti, is an actor while his sister, Elena is a jewelry designer.

The three siblings were brought up in a home where religion was not practiced actively. Paul’s father rejected the Catholic church at a young age; whereas, his mother didn’t practice any religion.
