Harrison Ford net worth: Actor to earn estimated $47 million from 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' hit

Harrison Ford is set to become an even wealthier man, thanks to the success of the newest "Star Wars" film.

As of now, Ford has already earned $34.7 million from simply suiting up to be Han Solo again in the latest installment of the franchise, according to News.com.au.

The good news for the veteran actor is that he is still set up to add even more to his net worth, depending on just how successful the new movie is.

According to the Daily Mail UK, aside from the money he's already banked from simply signing on to become Han Solo yet again, the actor is still slated to receive a 0.5 percent share of the film's gross earnings. 

If the movie performs as expected, then Ford could end up adding up to $13 million more to his bank, thanks to that little agreement, bringing his total earnings from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" all the way up to an estimated $47 million.

It's not a bad haul for the actor who has already done well previously.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Ford is currently estimated to have a net worth of $210 million, and that figure now looks like it will be escalating further due to the success of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

It is a lot of money, especially for Ford who took home $10,000 for the original "Star Wars" film.

Ford's latest paycheck also dwarfs those that his co-workers received for the new "Star Wars" film.

For instance, both John Boyega and Daisy Ridley each took home a $623,000 paycheck for their roles in the film, although the two look primed to receive raises ahead of the next installment.

Even Princess Leia herself, played by Carrie Fisher, was not in the ballpark of Ford's earnings, although she still took home a sizable $2 million salary for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
