Ludwig Göransson has an estimated net worth of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Ludwig Göransson net worth page (figures as of September 15, 2026).

Ludwig Göransson is a Swedish composer, record producer, songwriter and musician who was born on 1 September 1984 and raised in Linköping. His mother is a florist from Warsaw and his father is a guitar teacher, and he graduated from the Stockholm Royal College of Music. In 2007 he moved to Los Angeles to study scoring at the University of Southern California, where he met the director Ryan Coogler. In 2009 his first break came as the composer of the sitcom Community.

He has scored all of Coogler's films, including Fruitvale Station in 2013, Creed in 2015 and Black Panther in 2018, and he has worked with Christopher Nolan on Tenet and Oppenheimer. He has won the Academy Award for Best Original Score three times, for Black Panther, Oppenheimer and Sinners. On television his score for The Mandalorian won two Primetime Emmy Awards. As a producer he made albums with Childish Gambino, including Awaken, My Love! in 2016, and produced the 2018 single This Is America.

How Ludwig Göransson makes his money

Film scoring is the largest stream. Repeat work with Ryan Coogler and Christopher Nolan, including Black Panther, Oppenheimer and Sinners, places him among the most in-demand composers in Hollywood.

Television scoring provides steady fees. He wrote the music for Community, New Girl and The Mandalorian, composed the main theme for The Book of Boba Fett, and created the Disney+ mnemonic in 2024.

Record production is his second career. He produced Childish Gambino's albums, helped establish the band Haim on its debut EP in 2012, and has worked with Adele, Alicia Keys, Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar, which brings production fees and songwriting royalties.

Brand and franchise work rounds out the picture. In 2021 he wrote the new Warner Bros. Pictures fanfare, and in 2026 he scored both The Mandalorian and Grogu and Nolan's The Odyssey.
