Dec.08.2008 Morgan Freeman has a fuckload of money
When I think of guys who might make a $100 million divorce payout, Morgan Freeman isn’t the first guy who comes to mind. But apparently, he should be.
Sounds like Morgan Freeman’s divorce from his wife, Myrna Colley-Lee, will be both nasty and expensive for the Oscar winner.
Though there’s no comment from either party in this breakup, Freeman’s wife of 24 years stands to rake in more than $100 million in a potential settlement.
Original estimates put the actor’s net worth in the $75 million to $90 million range, but now it is being reported he may be worth as much as three to four times that amount.
Among assets contributing to the actor’s bounty are a very valuable gold coin collection, a rare stamp collection, a $7 million home in the Virgin Islands, real estate in Freeman’s native Mississippi worth nearly $30 million (including a $5 million personal home), a $10 million New York apartment and a $15 million Los Angeles estate.
”Morgan has always remembered what it was like to be a poor, struggling actor, and as a result he has always been very careful with his money. Morgan isn’t cheap, but he has always been pretty frugal,” a longtime associate told me Tuesday.
I’ve always thought Morgan Freeman was a fairly overrated actor. How many stately older black men are there on Earth that he can seemingly play the same one in every fucking movie he’s ever done? And now, to make matters worse, he’s apparently been paid in the form of millions of gold bars and garbage bags of cocaine. What the fuck, how is that fair? Every time I act like an old-timey black guy, I get nothing other than a session with a racial sensitivity counselor and disgusted looks from my coworker Jacquitonda.

Aug.04.2008 Morgan Freeman is a sleepy guy
If I can’t believe in Morgan Freeman, I don’t know what to believe in. The fact that his car wreck story is now a “him falling asleep at the wheel” story and will probably soon be a “he and the hooker in his car were drunk as fuck and high off of mescaline” story kind of makes me sad.
Morgan Freeman may have fallen asleep at the wheel last night right before his bad car wreck.
The actor was driving on Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County when he apparently lost control, flipping his car several times.
WHBQ in Memphis is reporting Freeman was on his way home to Charleston when the smash-up happened. Bill Luckett, Freeman’s friend and co-owner of Freeman’s restaurant Madidi, said his buddy was sitting up and talking at the hospital.
One source tells TMZ that Freeman has broken several ribs and injured his knee. His female passenger, we’re told, had to be cut out of the car using the Jaws of Life. A source says she’s suffering from bumps and bruises, but is “all in all in good condition.”
Not featured in the article was this made-up quote:
“He was very dignified and composed at the scene,” said rescue worker Michael Davidson. “In spite of his injuries, he struck me as very wise. Kind of like Lucius Fox in The Dark Knight. Or the President in Deep Impact. Or Red in The Shawshank Redemption. Or Detective Somerset in Se7en. Hmm…did you ever realize he plays the exact same character in every film? Even when he was God in those two ___ Almighty films, he was basically still just Morgan Freeman. He’s kind of overrated as an actor, actually. Wait, am I not allowed to say that because he’s a black guy? Fuck, am I a racist now? This is pretty inconvenient.”
