Previously undisclosed information has come to light about Matthew Perry’s financial situation following his passing. Contrary to prior assumptions about his wealth, it has been revealed that his personal bank account held $1,596,914.47 at the time of his death, a stark contrast to his reported net worth of $120 million. This revelation has intrigued many, considering the considerable difference between his net worth and bank balance.
Speculation arose as to the reason behind the seemingly modest amount in his account. With a thriving career, it is suggested that Perry’s complete financial picture may not have been captured in the public filing. Reports also indicate that he had established trusts which could potentially contain a more substantial sum than what was found in his bank account.
The Beneficiaries of Matthew Perry’s Estate
Following Perry’s passing, questions arose regarding the distribution of his assets due to his unmarried and childless status. It was disclosed in March 2024 by Us Weekly that his estate was entrusted to Lisa Ferguson and Robin Ruzan as co-executors. Ferguson, Perry’s business manager, assumed the role of executor to oversee the execution of Perry’s wishes as outlined in his legal documents.
Family members were designated as beneficiaries in Perry’s Alvy Singer Living Trust. His parents, John Perry and Suzanne Morrison, along with his half-siblings, Caitlin Morrison and Rachel Dunn, were included. Additionally, it was noted that should he have had children, they would have been excluded from his estate.
The intricate details of Perry’s assets, will, and trusts are still unfolding, signifying a process that will continue to evolve given the complexity and extent of his financial affairs.
