Morgan Freeman revealed in 2016 that he was a Tesla investor and an admirer of Elon Musk, praising his visionary ideas and achievements with SpaceX.
During an interview with CNBC, the actor mentioned that he followed the stock market and had investments in the electric car company. Years later, Musk acknowledged their mutual admiration by commenting on an old video of the interview.
At the time of Freeman’s statement, Tesla shares were priced at around $13.52. Since then, the company has experienced significant growth, and by January 2025, the stock price had reached $406.58. If Freeman had invested $10,000 in 2016 and held onto his shares, his profit would have been 3,000%, resulting in a total of $300,000.
Although this amount is substantial, it represents only 0.12% of Freeman’s net worth, estimated at $250 million. However, the actor remains discreet about his investments, and his spokesperson stated that he does not publicly discuss his personal finances.
