Matthew Perry had over .5 million in personal bank account before his death

Matthew Perry’s personal wealth at the time of his death has been revealed.

The “Friends” star had $1,596,914.47 in his personal bank account when he died at age 54 in October 2023, People reports.

This is according to an inventory and appraisal document that was filed by Lisa Ferguson, one of the trustees of Perry’s estate.

The late actor — whose net worth was an estimated $120 million at the time of his death — placed the rest of his assets in a $1 million trust that he created in 2009.

He called it the Alvy Singer Living Trust after Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall” character. Ferguson and Robin Ruzan were named the co-executors of the estate, Page Six reported in March.

In the trust, Perry listed his father, John Perry, and mother, Suzanne Morrison, as beneficiaries of his will alongside his half-sibling, Caitlin Morrison, and ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn.

Perry never married or had any children.

The “17 Again” actor was found dead in the hot tub of his home in Los Angeles on Oct. 28.

Perry, who had been playing pickleball earlier in the day at Riviera Country Club, wasn’t in his hot tub for very long before he was found dead, according to TMZ.

Initial reports indicated he had drowned, but a toxicology report confirmed he died from acute effects of ketamine. Drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine effects were listed as contributing factors.

His manner of death was ruled accidental.

However, authorities launched an investigation into Perry’s death earlier this year. A recent report claimed that police think “multiple people” should be charged in connection to his passing.

Perry was open about his struggles with addiction.

In his 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” Perry revealed he had been to 6,000 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, gone to rehab 15 times and been in detox 65 times.

He also claimed that he spent close to $9 million getting sober over the years.

“The doctors told my family that I had a 2% chance to live,” Perry stated during a promotional interview for his book, after claiming that he almost died in 2018 due to a gastrointestinal perforation. “I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.”

He finally got sober in May 2021.

Perry was laid to rest in the Forest Lawn cemetery in Hollywood Hills in November.

His five former “Friends” co-stars — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc — all went to the funeral.

 His parents, sisters, stepfather Keith Morrison and other friends and family were there as well.
