Matthew Perry’s Net Worth At Time Of Death Revealed
It has been nearly twenty years since Matthew Perry stepped into the role of Chandler Bing on Friends. However, the cast made amazing deals from Friends to keep them set for life. More so, Perry made movies and starred in other sitcoms, as well as a miniseries. Finally, he wrote a memoir so he was always remaining active in some capacity. Unfortunately, at the height of his success, he battled addiction and was forced to contend with this in order to go on. Now, that he has passed away, what was left of his earnings from his highly successful run on the NBC show?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, he leaves behind 120 million dollars which is a pretty penny. He started out by earning around $22,500/episode for Season 1 of Friends. By the end of that season, he had made just over half a million dollars, as did the rest of the cast. By Season 2, they made nearly one million for the whole season as their popularity increased. Fortunately, the cast became so close that they worked together to negotiate an immense pay increase. This would garner them close to two million dollars for Season 3 and by Seasons 7 and 8, they were raking in 18 million/season.

Matthew Perry was also making movies such as Fools Rush In and The Whole Nine Yards. For the latter, he made three million. Then, for the sequel, The Whole Ten Yards, he brought in an extra two million. It cannot be forgotten that the cast of Friends ensured that they had a great royalty deal for syndication. This means each actor might bring in 10 to 20 million/year from the series. The deal was also made before the show started streaming, prior to streaming being a thing.
All Alone
The one thing about Matthew Perry is that he did date some big names like Julia Roberts. However, he was never married nor did he have children. Perry was briefly engaged but called it off in 2021, the same year he officially became sober. So, it is unclear who will get his fortune or his real estate. Surely, whether or not he had a will should be brought up in the coming days. For now, fans, friends, and loved ones are mourning this immense talent who is gone far too soon.
