John Singletons 7 children will split his $6 million dollar estate

[Umoja]

How much do you expect him to be worth

He wasn't highly active and the highest grossing film he was involved in was 2 Fast 2 Furious (about 250 mil).

A $6,000,000 estate is quite impressive. Seems like he managed his money well.

John like most folks in Hollywood was a working director/actor and had bills to pay

I wanted to research other black directors just to see what they are worth (all same website)

12 MIl for F Gary Gray

F. Gary Gray Net Worth

What is F. Gary Gray's net worth?

www.celebritynetworth.com

Spike is 60 mil
Jordan peele is 50 mil
Ryan coogler 25 mil
Ava Duvernay 60 mil

Those are online net worth guesstimate nimbers. If they were to pass away today I bet the real numbers of what they actually have to be split would be a lot lower

The avengers movies are probably way bigger than anything singleton did. Scarlett Jo is an a-list actress


Apples and oranges. Yall need to stay objective

you right, but i'm just trying to find someone with a body of work that is worth 700 million, who net worth is also less than 1% of that.
I doubt that is common in hollywood

He may not have had much assets outside his salary . It is what it is

most celebs/ball players/musicians aint living like you think.

I grew up in an influential area and most are just rich (a few million in the bank).

this thread's collective financial literacy is scary.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

I don't know why someone would think he'd have more money. He didn't create any big IPs and was barely active as a director or producer.

Seems like he was a working pro in Hollywood living a comfortable life.

Black directors pockets isn’t near the same as their white counterparts on the same level…..plus even though films might have done well off a certain budgets there are other people involved in making the film need to get paid…

RIP John and glad the kids will get a little something

 

[desjardins]

I mean dude been living in LA , married and divorced multiple times in the worst state to do so, has seven kids (child support), and apparently ran someone over which was probably a husky civil settlement. $6 mil kind of makes sense considering all that and the fact he only worked when he wanted to

 

[Skooby]

I wonder if he had life insurance. Would life insurance be included in an estate?

 

[Patrick Kane]

This actually does make sense and it’s not like he BROKE. He obviously lived life and spent millions over the years, this is just what’s left.

As the co-creator, director, writer and producer of Snowfall Id think he’d get a bigger check cut but that money from the success of the show probably came in after he passed.

Well at least he left them something...
