Beyond making money as a world-class actor, Benedict Cumberbatch earned money through endorsements, like a photoshoot with GQ sponsored by Mercedes-Benz. The actor was also the face of an ad for famous Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre. All combined, Cumberbatch was worth an estimated $40 million as of 2022, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
In real estate, Cumberbatch has been quickly upgrading in impressive homes as his celebrity increases. Back in 2008, the actor paid £475,000 for an apartment in the Hampstead area of London. Two years later, he bought the apartment underneath him for £300,000 and combined the two places, per the Evening Standard. In 2015, Cumberbatch bought a four story home in North London for £2.7 million or nearly $3.4 million, The Sun noted, per The Washington Post. Also that same year, Cumberbatch bought a huge £10.8 million Hidden Hills mansion in Los Angeles, the Daily Mail reported.
In 2022, Cumberbatch appeared ready to expand his portfolio in the American housing market. Sources said that Cumberbatch was particularly interested in a 300-acre property and farm in the Southwestern United States, complete with a mansion, for £4 million, or about $5 million, The Sun revealed. If the place comes with horses, Cumberbatch may go from on-screen cowboy for his role in “The Power of the Dog” to a real life cowboy.
