Lin-Manuel Miranda's Net Worth: 'Hamilton' Star's Finances Revealed Before Disney+ Streaming Release

On Tuesday morning, Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with Disney Executive Chairman Robert Iger, appeared on "Good Morning America" to announce that "Hamilton" has received a new streaming release date. On July 3, those who subscribe to Disney + can watch the popular play, which is a change of course from the original October 15, 2021 theatrical release that had been planned. Thanks to Manuel's musical efforts, how much is the composer worth today?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actor is worth a reported $60 million. Miranda wrote both the lyrics and music for the 2008 play "In the Heights." The production would go on to earn both a Tony Award for Best Original Score in 2008 and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album in 2009. The lyricist himself would later be nominated for Best Actor in a Musical for his role Usnavi as well. The movie adaptation was due to be released this June but has been shifted to next year.

His work on "Hamilton" also proved to be quite lucrative for Miranda. Reportedly, the Broadway star is entitled to 7% of the box office gross. This means that he would receive a royalty check for about $105,000 for each week of the musical's run. In turn, that would lead him to gaining $5.5 million for his efforts.

Over the years, Miranda has also performed in a variety of other projects outside of his work on the stage. Not only did he appear in the 2018 Disney film "Mary Poppins Returns," but he has also lent his talents to the TV show "His Dark Materials," the animated series "BoJack Horseman," and more. Meanwhile, the lyricist has also contributed music to big screen projects like Disney's "Moana" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

In 2015, the multi-hyphenate also was awarded the MacArthur "Genius" Grant. The honor comes with a $625,000 award (paid out over five years). He also wrote the book "Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Little Pep Talks for Me & You" in 2018, and it hit the New York Times bestseller list.

While little is known about how the performer spends his money, Deadline reported in 2019 that Miranda, along with various "Hamilton" colleagues, collectively purchased a New York City bookstore. The Drama Book Shop, which features "scripts, librettos, monologues and any other books about or needed by the theater community," was facing eviction prior to the help.

At the time, Miranda explained his decision to step in and help the independent bookstore find its new home at 266 West 39th Street.

After calling it the "heart and soul of the New York theater community," he elaborated on the personal meaning the store had to him and his career, saying, "I found my collaborators there. I wrote drafts of In the Heights there. Freestyle Love Supreme was born there. I made sure the first book-signing of Hamilton: The Revolution was held there. The Drama Book Shop is home."
