How Much Was Michael K. Williams Worth At The Time Of His Death?

On September 6, the New York Post reported that Emmy-nominated actor Michael K. Williams was found dead in his New York City apartment. Williams, who starred in "The Wire," "Boardwalk Empire," and the HBO series "Lovecraft Country," was discovered by his nephew. While an official cause of death has yet to be reported, drug paraphernalia was found on the kitchen table next to Williams, pointing to a fatal drug overdose. "No foul play indicated. No forced entry, the apartment was in order," a law enforcement insider told the Post, further suggesting that the actor OD'ed.

It's a tragic end for the star, who has been vocal about his struggles with drugs. In 2016, at which point he was appearing on "The Wire," Williams told NPR that he had sought help at a New Jersey church. "When I came through those doors, I was broken," he told the outlet. "I was on drugs ... I was in jeopardy of destroying everything I had worked so hard for."

Following his death, the actor leaves behind a legacy of immense talent. Tributes have poured in from fellow actors and directors, and Williams even counts ex-President Barack Obama among his biggest fans. Per The New York Times, the former commander-in-chief once called Omar (Williams' character on "The Wire") his favorite TV character. And while we're remembering the high points of Williams' career, let's take a look at how much he was worth at the time of his death.
