Okay, so today I’m diving into something kinda random but also kinda interesting: Peter Morgan’s net worth. I’ve been watching “The Crown” (who hasn’t, right?) and got curious about the guy behind it all.
First off, I hit up Google, naturally. Just typed in “peter morgan net worth” and boom – a bunch of websites popped up. You gotta be careful though, because some of those sites are, shall we say, less than reliable. Like, one site was claiming he’s worth $50 million, and another said $20 million! Huge difference, right?
So, I dug a little deeper. I started looking for articles from more reputable sources – you know, like Forbes, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety… places that actually do some fact-checking. Couldn’t find anything super concrete. No one’s got access to his bank accounts except him (and maybe his accountant!).
Next, I started thinking about his career. This guy’s not just a one-hit-wonder. He’s written a ton of successful stuff: “The Queen,” “Frost/Nixon,” “The Last King of Scotland,” and of course, “The Crown.” All critically acclaimed, and all probably paid pretty darn well.
I started piecing things together. “The Crown” is a massive Netflix hit. He’s the creator, writer, and executive producer. That’s gotta be a serious payday. Plus, he likely gets royalties from all the reruns and streaming. Then there’s the awards – Golden Globes, Emmys… those add to your reputation and earning potential.
My (very unscientific) estimate: He’s definitely a multi-millionaire. I’d guess somewhere in the tens of millions, leaning maybe closer to the higher end of that range because of the sheer scale and success of “The Crown.” But again, that’s just a guess based on what I could find and common sense.
Things I learned:
- Net worth estimates online are wildly inaccurate.
- Following the money trail through someone’s career can give you a rough idea.
- Creating a massive hit like “The Crown” is seriously good for your bank account.
Honestly, it’s all speculation. But it was a fun little exercise in online sleuthing! Maybe one day Peter Morgan will release his tax returns and we’ll all know for sure. Until then, I’ll just keep enjoying his shows.
