Jack Black doesn't hold back on anything in his life, including how he spends his money.

Ever since he schooled us in the art of rock 'n' roll in School of Rock, the jack of all trades has made fans laugh hysterically with his energetic performances on the screen, stage, and TikTok. One of the only tame roles fans have truly seen Black in is the 2006 rom-com The Holiday. However, even Black's character, Miles, had a bit of Black's charisma.

Despite critics wondering if the rom-com would be a colossal flop, which could have ended Black's career, the film was instead a success and added to Black's $50 million net worth.

Black might not play the most glamorous characters, but that doesn't mean Black isn't glamorous in real life. Like every other celebrity, he splurges on luxurious things like fancy real estate and nice cars. But Black is like his characters in some ways. He likes his music and he wouldn't be himself if he didn't have a unique collection that fans would have never anticipated.

Here's what we know about Black's spending habits.

Updated March 2024: Jack Black has been busy as of late promoting the fourth installment of 'Kung Fu Panda', the last of which Black's character, Po will be appearing in. When he's not on the red carpet, he and Tenacious D partner, Kyle Glass released a parody of Britney Spears' 'Baby One More Time', which has been already been liked over 6.8 million times on TikTok. And with four projects slated to come out in 2024 and 2025, Black will only continue to add to his net worth to be able to purchase all the expensive items he desires.

Jack Black's Real Estate Portfolio Is Impressive

Jack Black's current property portfolio is worth at least $9 million

When you think of where Black lives, you probably imagine him living in a punked-out apartment, not the Hollywood Hills. But Black and his family do live in the richest part of Hollywood.

Their Hollywood Hills home, which they lived in for eight years, was sleek and luxurious. Even though it was built in 1968, it was modern, with concrete floors, glass-walled windows, stainless steel appliances, an industrial sterile living room, a dining room, and a floating staircase.

According to Lonny, the house went on the market for $2.8 million, but the Los Angeles Times says that Black actually wound up selling the home for $1.5 million after buying it for $720,000 in 2001.

Other homes that Black has owned over the years include:

The home that Black currently lives in is the Los Feliz mansion. It was built in 1915 and has seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, solar roof panels, a motor court, and a huge swimming pool. It's even been featured a couple of times on Black's social media.

Jack Black Spends A Lot On Musical Instruments

If you know anything about Black, you'll know that he's obsessed with music. That's why he was perfect for the role of Dewey in School of Rock.

If he's not singing a little tune in his movies or scoring music as Miles in The Holiday, Black's jamming out in his band Tenacious D. and honoring his musical heroes.

As expected, Black has his home in Los Feliz decked out for all his musical needs. This may even include a recording studio to lay tracks for his musical projects.

Black has an impressive collection of guitars. Those guitars include:

With these guitars costing thousands of dollars each, Black has an expensive collection. But given he plays them for his musical projects, they are tools of his trade as well.

Jack Black Collects Coins

Jack Black has coins worth tens of thousands of dollars

What some fans may not expect is that Black is a rare coin collector.

In 2017, Black appeared on Conan O'Brien and revealed he had a collection of coins. In fact, Black is a numismatist or someone who studies coins.

"I love my coins," Black explained on the show. "I do have my favorites. One of them that's really precious to me is the flowing hair penny. It's this gorgeous like 1793, and it's just this beautiful bust of a woman, and her hair is flowing in the breeze, and at the time, people were shocked when they saw it cuz' we have a kind of Puritanical society, 'That's pornographic. You can't show a woman with her hair in the breeze!' And they stopped making that coin and now if you can find that coin, they didn't make very many of them, it's worth like your car! A penny!"

Conan showed a picture of the penny and said, "It looks like Roger Daltrey of The Who."

"And it's kind of representative of the woman that we hold to put her in the Puritanical [gibberish]," Black continued. "And then I got another coin that's a similar theme. The Standing Liberty quarter in 1916. She had an exposed breast, and you can tell how good a quality is; I'm not joking, by the nipple, if the nipple is erect, you know that it's like good quality."

They showed that coin too. "I'm not kidding, and then in like 1917, 1918, they said, 'No! She's pornographic. Put the chainmail! They gave her a chainmail shirt to cover the breast, and then, this is my spiciest coin..." Black pulled a joke and said in 1828; they put out a coin of a standing Lincoln with no pants on, which Conan's fans enjoyed.

Jack Black continues to surprise us every day. He wouldn't be Jack Black without his strange antics and wacky spending habits.
