Following a career that's gone on for decades, Laurence Fishburne's net worth comes from years in the making, in a career that was apparently funded in good portion by his mother, who has now come out to say that she's broke and about to get evicted from her home, though her millionaire son won't give her "a penny."
It's a messy situation that has brought Laurence Fishburne's net worth to light, as it appears he's completely turned his back on his mother, Hattie Crawford Fishburne, who funded his career for the first 20 years when he was trying to make it as an actor.
These days, it seems like the actor's in just about everything, and Laurence Fishburne's net worth continues to increase as he joins different projects: currently, he plays Jack Crawford in the popular and acclaimed NBC show "Hannibal," and he's also the executive producer of the hit ABC show "Black-ish."
Other recent ventures that have boosted Laurence Fishburne's net worth include playing the editor of the Daily Planet in the Superman film "Man of Steel," a role he'll be reprising in the upcoming "Superman v. Batman: Dawn of Justice," besides having starred as Dr. Raymond Langston in the long-running "C.S.I." for a couple of seasons.
He was even nominated for an Oscar in the early 90s for his portrayal of Ike Turner, Tina Turner's abusive ex husband, in "What's Love Got To Do With It."
However, The New York Post recently spoke to his mother Hattie, who says that, in spite of Laurence Fishburne's net worth, she hasn't heard from him in over a year and he won't return her calls now that she's about to be evicted.
"For 20 years, I funded my son's career,'' Hattie Fishburne said. "He promised me he would take care of me. He promised me a house, a golden retriever, a calico cat. To this day, I have not got a Christmas present or a 'Thank you, Mama' present. He hasn't given me a penny. I'm so hurt and disappointed."
Currently, Laurence Fishburne's net worth stands at $20 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, which should be more than enough to keep his mother off the streets.
