Kenneth More’s greatest wealth? His legacy. He defined an era of British cinema. His smile, his charm—priceless.
He died in 1982 with a modest estate. His will was tiny by superstar standards: around £50,000 to his family. That’s about $100,000 then.
Why so little? He spent freely. He lived large. He owned a yacht! A small one, named “Mermaid.” That ate up cash.
The Final Quirky Detail
Here’s the best part: he once gave a fortune away to friends. After a successful play, he bought everyone dinner at the Savoy. Then he paid off a friend’s mortgage. Random acts of wealth.
His net worth was a rollercoaster. Not a steady line. Up, down, and all around.
So, how much was he worth? Enough to live like a king, then retire like a commoner.
