Morgan Freeman might owe a portion of his impressive fortune to Tesla stock. The award-winning actor has reportedly racked up a net worth of $250 billion across his five-decade career. And back in 2016, the Shawshank Redemption star revealed he was an investor in the electric car company - and a 'huge fan' of its CEO Elon Musk.

Morgan Freeman disclosed owning Tesla shares in 2016. Since then, Tesla share prices have jumped by over 3,000% to close at £326.27 on 24 January.

Tesla ( TSLA 2.22%) shares initially shrugged off a weak earnings report before the stock got caught in the trade-war sell-off. The electric vehicle (EV) maker had a tough year in 2024, although Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk continues to be very upbeat about the future.
