Chadwick Boseman Net Worth: $12 Million
“Black Panther” ranks as one of the highest-grossing superhero films ever made, surpassed only by the four “Avengers” flicks in the MCU. “Black Panther” grossed $1.3 billion at the box office, while “Endgame,” the highest-grossing film in the world to date, earned more than double that, grossing $2.792 billion, according to Forbes.
Boseman earned $2 million for “Black Panther,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. His paychecks for “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame” were likely much higher. Although Boseman didn’t have as much screen time as co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans, those stars reportedly earned $15 million for each film, with “second-tier” co-stars such as Paul Rudd earning around $8 million, according to Stylecaster.
