Harrison Ford net worth: How much is the Hollywood legend worth?
Harrison Ford broke into Hollywood in 1973 with American Graffiti, and since then has gone on to star in some of the biggest film franchises in movie history. Today, you would be hard-pressed to find any movie buff who is not familiar with at least some aspect of Ford’s work.
His resume over his nearly 50-year career is staggering. Ford has appeared in five feature Star Wars films as Han Solo, the gruff but charming smuggler who the American Film Institute named the 14th greatest movie hero of all time. Additionally, he has portrayed renowned archeologist Indiana Jones in all four of the titular films and is slated to reprise the role again in 2022. Ford can also be seen in many other roles, including the Blade Runner series, Air Force One, and 42.
Fans across the world have come to know Harrison Ford not only for his remarkable acting chops but also for his characteristically nonchalant, rough personality when it comes to being a “Hollywood star.” However, he is also known for being easygoing on set and a pleasure to work with, valuing his co-stars as much as his own presence in a project. “I don’t want to be a movie star,” Ford reportedly once told People magazine. “I want to be in movies that are stars.”
With all of this being said, it’s no surprise that Harrison Ford is one of the highest-grossing box office stars of all time. But how much is everyone’s favorite smuggler really worth?
How much is Harrison Ford worth?
Harrison Ford has a net worth of approximately $300 million, per CelebrityNetWorth.com. His extravagant wealth shouldn’t be a surprise given the success of the franchises that he has been involved with, and his paychecks today are definitely a far cry from what he was making at the beginning of his career. While he was paid only $10,000 ($42,000 in 2020) for his work in 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope, he reportedly made $15 million to return as Han Solo in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
As of February 2021, Harrison Ford is the sixth-highest grossing film star of all time in the United States and Canada, and at one point held the top spot after the release of The Force Awakens. While he is 78 years old, he hasn’t expressed any desire so far to retire, so there is no reason that Ford won’t continue to add to his significant wealth.
