Sir Patrick Stewart's net worth was estimated at about $75m (roughly £56m at the 30 October 2026 exchange rate) when he died this week aged 86, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That is an unverified estimate. The part of his finances we could check in UK company records is a private company called Camm Lane Limited, with net assets of £647,107 at the end of 2025.
Those two numbers measure different things, so one does not disprove the other. Together they show how much of a star's "fortune" is informed guesswork, and how little of it ever appears on a public register.

Where the $75m figure comes from
Celebrity Net Worth puts him at $75m, the figure repeated in several headlines this week. Australia's realestate.com.au ran "$114m", which sounds bigger until you read the article: it is the same US$75m converted into Australian dollars.
We found no balance sheet behind the number and no confirmation of it from his family. It is useful as a rough order of magnitude and no more. We would be suspicious of anyone quoting it to the nearest million.
What Star Trek and X-Men reportedly paid
The pay figures are firmer than the fortune figure, though most are still press reports and not contracts. Reported rates moved a long way over three decades:
| Job | Reported pay | Reported by |
|---|---|---|
| The Next Generation (1987–94) | $45,000 an episode, later $100,000 | AOL, Celebrity Net Worth |
| First Contact (1996) | $5m | AOL, Celebrity Net Worth |
| Insurrection (1998) | $9.5m | Celebrity Net Worth |
| Nemesis (2002) | $14m | Film Stories, AOL |
| Picard (2020–23) | $750,000 an episode (2019 report) | Syfy Wire, citing Variety |
| X-Men films | No reliable figure | AOL: not made public |
Those three film fees add up to $28.5m before agents, tax and costs. Treat the Nemesis number with some care too: Film Stories reports that Stewart and Brent Spiner later reduced their salaries to help manage the film's costs, without saying by how much.
The Nemesis talks were not friendly. Stewart told Empire in 2002 that he had been "a breath away" from walking, because the negotiation had reached a point "where humiliation was the only way of settling this". Film Stories reports that he went on to seal the $14m deal.
Celebrity Net Worth also recounts his realisation that 15 minutes of overtime on The Next Generation paid as much as a week's wages in English theatre.
We have left out the $5m and $10m "per X-Men film" numbers circulating on net-worth sites, because we could not trace them to a credible report. The same goes for his fee on Avengers: Doomsday, in which realestate.com.au says he reprises Professor Xavier, and any advance for his 2023 memoir, Making It So.
What the Camm Lane accounts show
Companies House lists "Sir Patrick Stewart", born July 1940, with two appointments. One, Nomango Productions LLP, was struck off at its own request in May 2015. The other is Camm Lane Limited, set up in November 2005, with Stewart as director and as the person holding 75% or more of the shares.
The name caught our eye. He grew up in a "one up one down" in Camm Lane, Mirfield. We have not seen him explain the company's name, so the link is our observation.
| Balance sheet date | Cash at bank | Short-term creditors | Net assets |

Source: Camm Lane Limited's filed accounts, which are unaudited. The 2021 figures close a period extended to 31 December.
Net assets rose past £1m in 2023, then fell in each of the next two years. The accounts do not say why. As a small company, Camm Lane chose not to file a profit and loss account, so turnover, profit and any dividends are not on show. The filings also do not say what work the money came from: the business is registered only as "other business support service activities", with one employee on average.
A company's net assets are not its owner's net worth. These accounts do not value his shareholding or show money held personally, in the US, in property or in trusts, so they cannot establish his total wealth.
The homes on record
Property sales are the other checkable trail, although they are prices from the day of the deal and not today's values. Companies House gave his place of residence as the United States, and most of the deals are American.
- Los Angeles estate: sold with his second wife, Wendy Neuss, for $6.5m in 2004 (realestate.com.au).
- Upper West Side penthouse: bought in 2003 for $1.8m with his then wife, sold for $3.8m in 2014 (The Real Deal).
- Park Slope duplex, Brooklyn: bought for $2.5m in 2012. We could not confirm whether he still owned it when he died.
- Scar Top, Hebden, Yorkshire Dales: owned for 25 years and sold in 2016 for about £535,000 according to realestate.com.au. The Examiner had described it as a £500,000 home while the sale was going through.
- Hancock Park, Los Angeles: bought for $4.3m in 2019, according to realestate.com.au.
His will and estate
We found no published will or official estate value as of 30 October, and we are not going to guess at how it might be divided. Realestate.com.au reports that he is survived by his third wife, the musician Sunny Ozell, whom he married in 2013, and his two children. The BBC reports that he died at home in Los Angeles after what a statement called "a brief and poignant journey" with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia.
We have asked similar questions about the fortunes of Jeffrey Archer and Ozzy Osbourne. For now, $75m remains somebody's calculation.
From a one-up, one-down to a knighthood
Part of the fascination is the distance travelled. The BBC's obituary describes a textile worker's son who left school at 15 and took a job on the Dewsbury Reporter before choosing acting. He trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and the University of Huddersfield later made him its chancellor from 2004 to 2015. He felt he owed Yorkshire for the scholarship that got him started, its vice-chancellor told the BBC. He also supported his old drama school and was a voluntary patron of Unique Voice, a Bristol company that runs school workshops on domestic violence.
