Hollywood icon Morgan Freeman said in a 2016 interview that he owned Tesla stock. A $10,000 holding then would be worth more than $300,000 now.

Morgan Freeman might owe a portion of his impressive fortune to Tesla stock. The award-winning actor has reportedly racked up a net worth of $250 billion across his five-decade career. And back in 2016, the Shawshank Redemption star revealed he was an investor in the electric car company - and a 'huge fan' of its CEO Elon Musk.

Morgan Freeman disclosed owning Tesla shares in 2016. Since then, Tesla share prices have jumped by over 3,000% to close at £326.27 on 24 January.
