Stan Lee Isn T As Rich As You Might Think But He Does Get 1M A Year From Marvel For Life

In a Playboy interview a few years back, Lee answered a question about his imaginary Tony Stark lifestyle like this: Stan Lee’s actual net worth is a perfectly respectable $50 million, which incidentally happens to be a lot more than what most of Lee’s contemporaries in the comic book field have to their names. Marvel pays him a lifetime annual salary of a million dollars, and he’s never been shy about contributing his name and/or creative input to a variety of usually superhero-related projects. His most recent work was published in 2016 – Stan Lee’s ‘God Woke’ – and earned a 2017 Independent Publisher Book Awards’ Outstanding Books of the Year Independent Voice Award. Meanwhile, Lee’s most recent financial endeavor wasn’t quite so successful. Early last year he sold his Hollywood Hills house at a loss of $170,000 – but don’t worry, he’s doing OK.
