Whether you’re a casual Star Wars fan, hardcore musical romantic, or parent of a young person enjoying all things animated, you’re probably quite familiar with one of Scotland’s finest actors: Ewan McGregor.
If you think of Ewan McGregor as the young Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Star Wars universe, you might think his net worth should be higher. If you think of Ewan McGregor as Mark Renton from Trainspotting, you might be surprised it’s so high.

What is Ewan McGregor's net worth?
The award-winning actor and Officer of the Order of the British Empire — who has been making critically acclaimed film and television since the early '90s — has a reported net worth of $25 million.
Co-star of some of the highest-grossing films of all time, Ewan was omnipresent from the release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in 1999 to Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith in 2005. He reprised the role in 2022's Obi-Wan Kenobi for Disney Plus. It's a role that certainly helped make quite a bit of that $25 million.

Ewan McGregor is much more than a character in the Star Wars universe.
Initially known to most film lovers for his role in Danny Boyle's 1996 film Trainspotting, the actor was not necessarily going the kid-friendly route in the '90s. But since playing Obi-Wan, he's stared in multiple family friendly properties. He was a voice in the 2005 kids film Robots and the lead in 2018's Christopher Robin.
The actor has gotten more acclaim for his adult roles than the work for kiddos. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in the 2001 musical Moulin Rouge! and in 2012 for Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. He won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for his performance of Halston in the 2021 miniseries Halston.
