IAN MCKELLEN – EST. $60 MILLION

Sir Ian McKellen has established himself as one of the pillars of the entertainment industry. With his more than six decades in the film industry, he experienced playing roles from the Shakespearean genre to fantasy films. For that, it was inevitable for McKellen to have a net worth of $60 million and have several hefty investments.

For Lord of the Rings and X-Men fans, it is easy to spot McKellen as Gandalf and Magneto.

Apparently, those are just the tip of the iceberg of his career. He started his acting career in theatres, worked on stage plays such as Macbeth with Judi Dench, Waiting for Godot with Patrick Stewart, and Amadeus with Jane Seymour. His first film credits were in A Touch of Love in 1969 and A priest of Love in 1981. It wasn’t long until he landed a starring role in the movie Six Degree of Separation in 1993 when he became known worldwide. Today, McKellen is a known activist and a liberated man. He currently spends most of his time in his home in London.
