Matthew Perry's personal bank account only had around $1.5 million upon his death last year, suggesting he likely failed to transfer assets, according to recently revealed documents.
Best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, Perry passed away unexpectedly in October 2023.
He was found dead in his bathtub, and the medical examiner ruled his death as a ketamine overdose, with suspicions of foul play in providing the fatal dose. No suspects have been publicly named.
His death is under investigation, with allegations of drug abuse and potential involuntary manslaughter charges.
At the time of his passing, Matthew Perry's net worth was estimated to be around $120 million, primarily earned from his acting career, including earning $1 million per episode of Friends by 2002.
Matthew Perry was unmarried and had no children. His Alvy Singer Living Trust, set up in 2009, listed his father, mother, half-sister, and ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn as beneficiaries, intentionally omitting provisions for unnamed heirs, relatives, stepchildren, or foster children.
Perry had written a memoir in 2022 about his struggles with addiction and journey to sobriety. His substance abuse issues led to plans for a foundation to help others, realized after his death as the Matthew Perry Foundation.
