Morgan Freeman has an estimated net worth of $250 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Morgan Freeman net worth page (figures as of September 16, 2026).
Morgan Freeman is an American actor, producer and narrator who was born on June 1, 1937. In a career spanning six decades he has received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award, as well as nominations for a Grammy Award and a Tony Award. He was honored with the Kennedy Center Honor in 2008, an AFI Life Achievement Award in 2011 and the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2012.
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, and raised in Mississippi, he rose to fame in the 1970s for his role in the children's television series The Electric Company. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Million Dollar Baby in 2004 and was nominated for Street Smart, Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption and Invictus. His films also include Glory, Se7en, Amistad, The Bucket List and the Dark Knight trilogy, in which he played Lucius Fox.
How Morgan Freeman makes his money
Film acting is the main source. He has appeared in dozens of widely seen films, from Shawshank to the Dark Knight trilogy and the Now You See Me films, and a star with that track record can command a high fee for even a supporting part.
His voice is a second business. He has narrated documentaries including March of the Penguins, Through the Wormhole and The Story of God with Morgan Freeman, and his voice is also in demand for commercials and brand work.
He founded the production company Revelations Entertainment in 1996 with Lori McCreary, which produced projects such as the CBS drama Madam Secretary and gives him income as an owner and producer.
A career this long also benefits from timing. He came to major film roles later than many stars, in his early fifties, which means his highest-paid decades came after he was already well established. That helped him keep working on top projects well into his eighties, adding years of earnings that many actors do not get.
