Harrison Ford, who has an estimated net worth of $210 million, is currently making headlines after his vintage single-engine plane crashed on a golf course on Thursday afternoon. According to USA Today, Ford remains hospitalized because of the injuries he suffered but is expected to make full recovery.
After escaping the dangerous Los Angeles plane crash, Harrison Ford and his net worth are now under scrutiny. But before we explore deeper on his recent accident, let's take a look at Ford's career, which has spanned for almost six decades.
Harrison Ford is a 72-year-old actor whose career in the entertainment industry started in the '60s. He gained global prominence for his portrayal of the roles of Hans Solo in the original "Star Wars" epic space opera trilogy and the title character of the "Indiana Jones" series.
Ford has starred in several Hollywood blockbusters. Because of that, Harrison Ford has amassed an estimated net worth of $210 million, as listed by The Richest. He has also become one of Hollywood's biggest and most bankable stars.
Large portion of Harrison Ford's net worth came from his successful career in the film industry. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ford's total box office grosses are almost $3.4 billion and his film's worldwide grosses surpass $6 billion. His assets, on the other hand, are valued at $13 million.
Meanwhile, shortly after taking off from Santa Monica Airport on Thursday afternoon, Harrison Ford's WW2 vintage plane had an engine trouble and crashed on a golf course. Based on the reports, the actor reported engine failure and requested an immediate return. However, he failed to reach the runway, and crash-landed on the approach to the 8th tee instead.
As said by Harrison Ford's publicist Ina Treciokas in an emailed statement, the actor "was banged up and is in the hospital receiving medical care." She also added the "injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery."
Harrison Ford's son, Ben, a Los Angeles chef, also tweeted his dad's current condition.
"At the hospital. Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man," Ben wrote on Twitter.
The Thursday incident was not Harrison Ford's first aviation accident. Though he has been trained to fly planes and helicopter, The Daily Mail reported Ford has been involved in several flying mishap. In 1999, he crash-landed his helicopter during a training flight in LA and a year later, he made an emergency landing in Nebraska. Fortunately, Ford and his instructor or his passenger escaped unhurt.
The crash marked the second high-profile accident for Harrison Ford, who has a $210 million net worth, in the past year. While filming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," Ford broke his leg at the Pinewood Studios outside London. BBC News revealed the accident involved the spacecraft door of the Millennium Falcon, which makes a return in the highly anticipated film.
Will the crash affect Harrison Ford's net worth? Definitely no, but reprising the role of Hans Solo will surely increase it.
