The actor is reported to earn a massive $2 million per annum for his work in films and TV shows. He is also claimed to earn $4,100 per day.
Meanwhile, his salary for Black Panther differs per sources. Some claim that his salary was in millions while others claim that he was paid hundred thousand dollars. Nonetheless, we are sure that the actor has gained a hefty sum from Marvels for the role, not only because of stunning acting but also because Black Panther was a massive hit.

Having such a massive net worth and earnings, he is not the kind to just stack those cash in the bank. On 7th March 2018, the actor decided to pay for a fan named Sophia's retainers after her orthodontist shared that she had snapped the wire on her retainers while she watched Jordan take his shirt off in Black Panther. According to the doctor, she clenched her teeth so hard that she snapped them.
