The death of Friends star Matthew Perry was met with an outpouring of grief over the weekend.
It’s claimed that he died at his Los Angeles home after drowning in his hot tub. His haunting final Instagram post from a week ago appeared to show the star relaxing in the same Jacuzzi that he sadly died in.
Now, as the Friends cast pay tribute, it’s been revealed that Matthew left behind a vast fortune, thanks to his stand-out portrayal of Chandler Bing and subsequent movie roles.
Matthew Perry net worth – $120 million (£85 million)
Matthew Perry starred in numerous projects following his break-out role in Friends. From teen comedy 17 Again to TV series Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, he made regular screen appearances.
However, that’s not the only place he made his cash. Matthew also invested in property, and had a knack for buying low and selling high. In 2019, he listed a home he’d purchased for $20 million for $35 million. He did a similar thing the year before too.
However, Matthew once spoke about his fame and fortune – and how he’d swap it all to not have his addiction.
He said: “The fact that I would trade it all to not have this disease is true. But I don’t belittle how fun the experience has been on Friends. And the money was amazing. Just the creative experience of being on the show probably saved my life. When you’re making a million dollars a week, you can’t drink the 37th drink. You have to go home and go to sleep.… That was the greatest job in the world.”
Matthew never married, and didn’t have children. As a result, it’s unclear who will inherit his vast fortune following his death.
How much is Jennifer Anniston worth? – $300 million (£211 million)
Jennifer became a huge Hollywood star after Friends ended in 2004. So it’s probably obvious she has the highest net worth out of all the Friends cast.
She’s starred in countless movies including the likes of The Break-Up, the Oscar-nominated Cake and He’s Just Not That Into You. Jennifer has also starred in Bruce Almighty, We’re the Millers, Just Go With It and Netflix’s Murder Mystery.
The actress also recently returned to television after being cast in Apple TV’s The Morning Show.
She also has a long-term advertising deal with bottled water brand SmartWater.
Lisa Kudrow net worth – $90 million (£63 million)
Lisa’s had more roles since Friends than many people realise.
She’s starred in cult comedy The Comeback on HBO, and has bagged a variety of movie roles.
These have included the likes of Boss Baby, Booksmart and TV series Web Therapy.
Lisa has also invested in property, and reportedly sold a house in Utah for $3 million.
How much is Courteney Cox worth? – $150 million (£105 million)
Courteney arguably became the break-out star while Friends was still airing thanks to her role in the Scream franchise.
With Scream 5 having just wrapped filming, Courteney is believed to have bagged a big cheque for her return.
She also earned $275,000 for every episode of Cougar Town she filmed, which went on for six seasons.
The actress also has her own production company.
David Schwimmer net worth – $85 million (£60 million)
The Ross actor made a name for himself after Friends for his role in the Madagascar franchise.
He also returned to television when he starred in the critically acclaimed American Crime Story.
Matt LeBlanc net worth – $80 million (£56 million)
The Joey actor has made most of his cash from his acting career.
Apart from Friends, he’s starred on its spin-off show Joey.
However, he also made millions from his Top Gear hosting role, co-hosting from 2016 to 2019.
