Chadwick Boseman | Actor, Playwright, and Screenwriter | $8 Million

Chadwick Boseman received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in directing from Howard University back in 2000. His initial goal was to write and direct films. Instead, he ended up studying drama to better relate to actors. He then worked as a drama instructor for a while before moving to Los Angeles, where he tried his luck in an acting career. After gaining praise for his writing gig on the stage play Deep Azure, Chadwick got his first significant on-screen role on the series Persons Unknown.

From that point on, he continued receiving widespread acclaim for his performance in the biopics Get on Up, 42, and Marshall. Eventually, Chadwick’s career reached an all-time high after he donned the Black Panther suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. By 2020, unfortunately, the award-winning actor passed at the age of 43. To this day, fans and colleagues of Chadwick remember him fondly for all his excellent performances.
