Chadwick Boseman was only worth $12 million when he died, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Considering his name recognition at that time as well as the net worth of some fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe stars like Chris Evans (who is worth $80 million, per Celebrity Net Worth), this might sound like a mind-blowingly low number. How could it be?
Well, Boseman only earned Hollywood renown in 2013 with 42, whereas Evans, for instance, has been in film franchises like 2005's Fantastic Four and its sequel long before entering the MCU with his own solo film as Captain America. This is to say nothing of biopics like 42 and Get on Up, which — while earning Boseman universal praise — were never made on a high budget nor sought to break commercial records. Get on Up!, for example, was made for $30 million and grossed barely over that number domestically, per the Bomb Report.
As for his big MCU cash, Boseman — according to Elite Daily — received the standard starting salaries for a franchise star, reportedly earning $700,000 as Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War (including back-end percentages) and only $500,000 for his 2018 titular flick, pre-royalties. Given the massive success of Black Panther as well as his subsequent MCU outings (2018's Avengers: Infinity War and 2019's Avengers: Endgame), $12 million just about covers Boseman's net worth at the time of his untimely 2020 death.
