Hudson Meek lost his life in an accident, and now people are showing curiosity in his net worth. His earnings came from roles in films like “Baby Driver” and “90 Minutes in Heaven.”
At the time of his demise, Hudson Meek had a net worth of between $100,000 and $500,000. Although the amount seems small compared to big Hollywood actors, it is important to remember that he was just 16 years old.
Additionally, he earned most of his money from his career as an actor. Similarly, the 16-year-old received his first paycheck when he made his acting debut in 2014. He played the character Wiseman in the movie “The Santa Con.”

In the following year, he appeared in the film “90 Minutes in Heaven,” alongside Kate Bosworth and Hayden Christensen. Thankfully, the movie did well at the box office and earned $19.8 million worldwide, playing a big role in boosting his wealth.
However, this is nothing compared to the earnings of his most successful film. In 2017, he played the role of Young Baby in the film “Baby Driver,” which earned over $226 million.
Although not officially confirmed, it’s highly likely that being a part of this movie was his biggest financial success.
In addition, films and shows such as “Providence”, “Momma Jenny & the Brooks Boys”, “I Did NOT See That One Coming”, and “Union” played a huge role in boosting his finances.
