What was Malcom X’s Net Worth?Malcolm X was an American Muslim minister and human rights activist who had a net worth equal to $150 thousand at the time of his death in 1965, after adjusting or inflation. Malcolm X was born in Omaha, Nebraska in May 1925 and passed away in February 1965. He was known as a polarizing figure who had many admirers for being a courageous advocate for African American rights while his detractors accused him or preaching racism and violence. Malcolm X has been named one of the most influential African Americans in history. He grew up in foster homes and served prison time. In prison he became a member of the Nation of Islam. He then served as the face of that group for 12 years. The Nation advocated the separation of black and white Americans and promoted black supremacy in addition to rejecting the civil rights movement and integration. He later embraced Sunni Islam and regretted his time with the Nation of Islam. Malcolm X founded Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of Afro-American Unity. Malcolm X passed away on February 21, 1965 at the age of 39 when he was assassinated by three members of the Nation of Islam.Early LifeMalcolm X was born on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska and was given the name Malcolm Little. He was the fourth of seven children born to Granada-born Louise Helen Little and Georgia-born Earl Little. His father was a Baptist pastor and both of his parents were active in various African-American advancement movements. His father in particular was a leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and received threats from the Ku Klux Klan. The family eventually moved to Michigan to avoid trouble.When Malcolm was six years old, his father died in what was officially ruled an accident, though Malcolm’s mother believed the Black Legion, a white racist group, had actually murdered him. His mother was later committed to a hospital after suffering a nervous breakdown in 1938. The children were separated and sent to foster homes. Malcolm attended West Junior High School and then Mason High School before ultimately dropping out of high school after a teacher told him his goal of becoming a lawyer was unrealistic for a black man. After working a variety of odd jobs from the age of 14 to 21, Malcolm moved to New York City’s Harlem neighborhood in 1943.ActivismDuring his early years in New York, Malcolm X lived a tumultuous life and engaged in minor crimes. In 1946, he was arrested for burglaries and began serving a sentence at Charlestown State Prison for larceny and breaking and entering. While in prison, he met fellow convict John Bembry, who was self-educated and inspired Malcolm to develop a massive appetite for reading. He also began receiving letters from his family about the Nation of Islam, a relatively new religious movement in the Black community that preached a message of Black self-reliance.From that point onward, Malcolm became very interested in the religion, writing to the movement’s leader Elijah Muhammad in 1948 and officially joining the movement. Malcolm began signing his name as Malcolm X, as instructed Muhammad instructed all of the Nation’s followers to do.Malcolm X was paroled in 1952 and he then moved to Detroit where he became the assistant minister of the Nation’s Temple Number One. He then began helping establish a number of other temples in various cities on the east coast as the movement grew more popularly. By this point in time, the FBI was surveilling Malcolm X given his rise with the Nation of Islam community. They had already previously investigated him after Malcolm X had written a letter from prison to the president, expressing his disdain for the Korean War and declaring himself a communist.By the late 1950s, Malcolm X was extremely prominent within the community. He was invited by the United Nations General Assembly in New York to attend functions of several African nations. He was very effective at promoting the Nation’s teachings, which included the belief that Black people are the original people of the world. He was also quite critical of the civil rights movement, as he rather advocated for the complete separation of African Americans from whites rather than an end to racial segregation.However, by 1964, Malcolm X publicly announced his break from the Nation of Islam, though he remained a Muslim. Several events in the early 1960s led to his disillusionment with the movement and he had also grown to believe that the Nation’s rigidity meant it would be unable to grow any larger in the United States.AssassinationOn February 19, 1965, Malcolm X told an interviewer that the Nation of Islam was trying to kill him. Two days later, when preparing to address the Organization of Afro-American United, an audience member caused a disturbance. While Malcolm X was trying to calm the audience, a man ran forward and shot him once in the chest with a sawed-off shotgun with two other men firing handguns. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital and the autopsy later identified 21 gunshot wounds in his body.One of the gunman, Talmadge Hayer, was restrained by crowd before the police arrived, while the other two escaped. It was discovered that he was a Nation of Islam member. The other two gunmen were identified by the crowd as Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson.A public viewing was held in Harlem of Malcolm X following his assassination. It was attended by as many as 30,000 mourners. Speakers at the funeral included civil rights leaders John Lewis, Andrew Young, and James Forman, among others. He was buried at Ferncliff Cemetery in New York.Personal Life and Legacy In 1955, Malcolm met Betty Sanders after one of his lectures. She began regularly attending his lectures and then joined the Nation of Islam in 1956 and changed her name to Betty X. The couple courted more formally at social events as one-on-one dating was not allowed to the Nation’s teachings. He proposed over a telephone call in 1958. The two married two days later and had six daughters throughout their marriage.Malcolm is considered one of the most influential African Americans in history. He is largely responsible for the spread of Islam in the Black community in the United States. He also has inspired many other Black activists and his life and teachings became popular again among young people in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Welles won an Oscar in 1942 for Citizen Kane and won an Honorary Award for the Academy Award sin 1971. He also won three Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word Recording. In 1975 he was given the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award.Early LifeWelles was born on May 6, 1915 in Kenosha, Wisconsin to parents Richard Head Welles and Beatrice Ives Welles. While Welles’s parents were affluent, Welles did have a challenging childhood. His parents separated in 1919 and Welles moved with his mother to Chicago. Though his father had made a fortune by inventing a bicycle lamp, he later became an alcoholic and stopped working. His mother worked by playing the piano during lectures at the Art Institute of Chicago in order to support herself and her son. Welles did have an older brother, though he was institutionalized at an early age due to learning disabilities. His mother died of hepatitis in 1924 after Welles’s ninth birthday. Then began a tumultuous period of time for Welles, as he moved in with his father who would take his son traveling around the world on a whim before he died in 1930 of kidney failure.Welles was a bright student and attended Todd Seminary for Boys in Illinois. He was allowed to explore his creativity there and sometime would stage theatrical productions. After graduating from Todd, Welles was accepted into both Harvard College and Cornell College, but he decided to travel instead.CareerWelles began his stage career in Dublin after walking into the Gate Theatre claiming to be a Broadway star. The manager gave him a role in “Jew Suss” and then appeared in other supporting roles in various productions at the Gate. He eventually returned to the U.S. after not being able to find consistent work. He joined a repertory theatre company and joined with the group, performing “Romeo and Juliet” and “Candida,” among other plays.In 1934, Welles got his first radio job with “The American School of the Air.” He also began working as a radio actor in Manhattan and quickly became very popular. Welles then joined the Federal Theatre Project in 1935 and remained with the group until 1937 when he founded his own repertory company called the Mercury Theatre. The company opened with a production of “Caesar” in 1937, and adaptation of “Julius Caesar.”As his theater company was growing in success, Welles continued working extensively in radio and created a radio version of his theater company – “The Mercury Theatre on the Air.” In 1938, he produced an adaptation of “The War of the Worlds” by author H.G. Wells, which received so much airplay and was so convincing to listeners that some truly believed the world was being invaded by Martians.Welles’s success at this point was so great that he was offered by RKO Radio Pictures what is considered to be one of the greatest contracts ever offered to a filmmaker, especially considering Welles had not yet made any films. The first film that Welles co-wrote, produced, and directed was “Citizen Kane,” which went on to win the best picture award in 1941 by the National Board of Review and the New York Film Critics Circle. The film continues to be ranked as one of the greatest films ever made. He went on to release 12 other feature films including “The Magnificent Ambersons,” “The Lady from Shanghai,” “Touch of Evil,” “Chimes at Midnight,” and “F for Fake” throughout the course of his decades-long career. His final film, “The Other Side of the World,” was posthumously released in 2018.In 2002, Welles was voted the greatest film director of all time in two British Film Institute polls among directors and critics. He has also been included in the list of the 50 greatest Hollywood actors of all time by “The Daily Telegraph.”Personal Life and DeathIn 1934, Welles married Chicago-born actress and socialite Virginia Nicolson. The couple then separated in 1939 and divorced in 1940. One of the primary reasons for the divorce was the fact that Welles had fallen in love with the Mexican actress Dolores del Rio. Welles had been infatuated with the actress since his adolescence and later met her after he moved to Hollywood in 1939, when they began a relationship in secret. After Del Rio divorced her husband, the couple began appearing together in public. However, the relationship ended due to Welles’s infidelity. He then had a relationship with Rita Hayworth, whom he married in 1943. The couple divorced in 1947. Several years later, he began a relationship with actress Paola Mori, whom he married in 1955. The couple never divorced, though Welles did develop relationships with other women. His longtime companion for the last 20 years of his life was Oja Kodar, a Croatian-born artist and actress.In the course of his numerous marriages and relationships, Welles had three daughters. It is also thought that he may have had a son, British director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, with Irish actress Geraldine Fitzgerald, but this rumor has never been officially confirmed.Welles died sometime in the morning of October 10, 1985 after suffering a heart attack. He was 70 years old at the time of his death. A small private funeral followed, which was attended by close family and friends. A public memorial tribute followed at the Directors Guild of America that featured prominent speakers like Charlton Heston, Geraldine Fitzgerald, and Charles Champlin. His ashes were taken to Ronda, Spain and buried in a well on the estate of a longtime friend, bullfighter Antonio Ordonez.
