Michael B. Jordan is one of the most recognized actors in Hollywood today thanks to his slew of über-successful movies—many of which have made billions (with a b!) of dollars. Just look at Black Panther! That's why it should come as a surprise to quite literally no one that Michael has a massive, well-deserved net worth thanks to acting in, producing, and directing tons of films we all know and love; So let's break it all down! Starting with the fact that....
He has tons of Creed $$$
Ever heard of the Rocky spinoff, Creed? Ya know. The iconic film that grossed over $173.6 million at the box office *and* topped it off with a 2018 sequel that actually out-earned it, making a whopping $214.1 million? Yeah, Michael is the protagonist in the franchise, and earlier this year, we learned the third iteration is underway with the actor also serving as director.
"Directing has always been an aspiration, but the timing had to be right," Michael explained in a statement. "Creed III is that moment—a time in my life where I’ve grown more sure of who I am, holding agency in my own story, maturing personally, growing professionally and learning from the greats like Ryan Coogler, most recently Denzel Washington, and other top tier directors I respect. All of which sets the table for this moment...I look forward to sharing the next chapter of Adonis Creed’s story with the awesome responsibility of being its director and namesake."
And let's not forget the Black Panther franchise
In 2018, Michael played villain Erik "Killmonger" Stevens in the first Black Panther movie, which earned 7 Academy Award nominations and grossed a—wait for it—truly jaw-dropping $1.347 billion at the box office, making it that year's second-highest-grossing film. Michael himself obviously got a slice of those profits and reportedly earned a whopping $2 million for the role, because duh! And though his character actually (SPOILER ALERT) dies after the first film, his character surprised fans of the franchise by making a cameo in the sequel, Wakanda Forever, when Shuri (played by Letitia Wright) takes a trip to the Ancestral Plane in the hopes it will lead to her brother T’Challa (played by the late Chadwick Boseman), but ends up meeting Killmonger instead. (END OF SPOILERS. AS YOU WERE.)
Oh, and Michael's also an executive producer
Because he simply has so! Much! To! Give! Michael launched a production company in 2016 called Outlier Society, which worked on the 2019 film Just Mercy, the real-life story of legendary defense attorney Bryan Stevenson. His depiction of the Harvard grad was so moving that Michael earned a NAACP Image Award for his performance. The actor also starred in and produced HBO's Fahrenheit 451 in 2018 and served as an executive producer on the 2019 animated web series Gen:Lock *and* Netflix's Raising Dion. TL;DR: There's nothing this man can't do.
His endorsement game is truly *chef's kiss*
Including an iconic Apple TV commercial alongside the legendary late Kobe Bryant.
The actor also inked a deal in September 2016 to voice a character in the basketball video game NBA 2K17. "I used to play that game a lot growing up, so to be able to be a part of it is incredible," Michael confessed to Jimmy Kimmel when talking about it on The Tonight Show. In the same interview, he revealed he included his own childhood handshake in the game, which is an achievement I will personally never experience but so 😭 happy 😭 for 😭 u 😭 Michael 😭.
His real estate portfolio is seriously impressive
Like, in 2016 he purchased a $1.7 million, 4,627 square foot home in Sherman Oaks, California-kind of impressive. Fast-forward to May 2022 and not only did the actor list a second 4,530 square foot home in the Hollywood Hills for under $7 million (after purchasing it for $5.8 million), but he also bought a $12.5 million, half-an-acre Encino mansion. The $12.50 in my own bank account could never.
So what is Michael B. Jordan's net worth, in total?
That would be $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. I'd imagine that if I were Michael, I'd probably look like this after speaking with my accountant:
