John Boyega Net Worth $2 Million
John Boyega was raised by Samson and Abigail Boyega. He attended Oliver Goldsmith Primary School, and during studies there his acting career began, as he was spotted by Teresa Early, the director of Theatre Peckham, and he started performing in theatre shows at the arts centre in London. He went to Westminster City School, a high school where he featured in a number of school productions. He then enrolled at South Thames College, where he studied Performing Arts at the college’s Wandsworth campus, and while there he was cast in the main role in the production of “Othello”. He continued at the University of Greenwich, in Film Studies and Media Writing, but quit to pursue an acting career.
However, he started earning money from his talents as early as 2011, when his professional acting career began by appearing in the TV series “Becoming Human”, in the role of Danny Curtis. The same year he made a breakthrough appearance as Moses in the sci-fi film “Attack The Block”, for which he won the Black Reel Award for Best Actor. Furthermore, in 2011 John appeared in films “Junkhearts”, and “Da Brick”.
Ever since then, his career has gone only upwards, and so has his overall net worth, as he landed roles in such films as “Half Of A Yellow Sun” (2013), “My Murder” (2012), “Imperial Dreams” (2014), and also “The Wale” (2013). To speak further of his accomplishments in the entertainment industry, John appeared in the role of Chris Tanner in the TV series “24: Live Another Day” (2014), and in 2015 he lent his voice to Blkmrkt, a character from the animated TV series “Major Lazer”. 2015 brought him another memorable role, as Finn, a stormtrooper in the seventh film of the Star Wars franchise “Star Wars: Episode VII- Force Awakens”, adding further to his overall net worth.
Most recently, Boyega was featured in the TV series “Tinkershrimp & Dutch” (2016), and he is to appear in the film “The Circle”, which is scheduled for a 2016 release. Furthermore, John will repeat his role of Finn in the “Star Wars: Episode VII”, which is scheduled for a release in 2017, and it will certainly increase further his overall wealth.
Although still a young actor, John has already made several memorable appearances, for which he has won several nominations and awards, including the BAFTA Rising Star Award for his work on “Star Wars: Episode VII- Force Awakens”.
Speaking about his personal life, obviously John Boyega keeps it private, as there is no information in the media about him. In free time he is very active across many of the most popular social media platforms, including Twitter and Instagram, on which he has over 900,000 followers.
