Michael B Jordan – A New Star is Born
It’s often astounding how some of Hollywood stars have come out of the woodwork from what seems like nowhere. One moment they’re playing in soap operas and sitcoms and the next thing they’re leading first-class films to the box office. We think of celebs like Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Demi Moore, Brad Pitt, and Leo DiCaprio; all of which had their starts on the silver screen in either a Soapy or TV show.
Another new star to make his presence known in the film industry in the past few years, after debuting in the soap and series world, is Michael B Jordan. The actor and producer has made a rapid name for himself in both bad guy and hero roles in movies many of us know and love today. Having made the Hollywood hotlist, he’s had to adopt the extra “B” (Bakari) initial into his screen name just so that he’s not mistaken for the other famous Michael Jordan.
In this article, we aim to have a look at how big this rising star has made it so far. As such, we’ll take a trip into the world of his earnings and discover the net worth of Michael B Jordan.

He should profit $1.2 million should he get his asking price for the home. The 4,500-square foot home is a picture of modern styling. The sale begs the question… Is he looking to upgrade?

From Soapies and Series to First-Class Movies
Jordan’s start in the film industry was a slow-ish one. While he appeared in some notable films, his first major supporting role was opposite Keanu Reeves in ‘Hard-Ball’. Of course, these have been overshadowed by some of his later hits, which include his role as the arch-villain in Marvel’s Black Panther, and the co-leading role alongside Sylvester Stallone in Creed and Creed II.
Of course, we shouldn’t forget him as the Human Torch in the reprise of the Fantastic 4. While the latter was a flop, Creed and Creed II netted nearly $4 billion at the box office, cumulatively. In 2021, he starred in ‘Without Remorse’, a military film based on a Tom Clancy book. It brought him his highest earnings to date.

Awards
Michael’s acting journey has not come without rewards. In fact, he’s picked up some notable awards along the way for both TV and the Big Screen gigs. While some of these include an MTV Award, Gotham Award, Hollywood Film Award, NAACP Image Award, and more, he is holding out for the big Oscar statuette and is yet to receive a notable nomination in this class yet.

Set for Higher Heights
So, Michael B Jordan’s net worth is not as high as some of the other celebs we’ve covered in the past, but he is new to the higher end of the movie ‘game’. While top earners are worth 9 figures, there is no shame in being able to flaunt tens of millions in assets. It’s more than most people could ever dream of making in multiple lifetimes.
