No reliable current figure for Lee Majors’ net worth is established by the available sources. A circa-2013 article reported that he made $6 million from The Six Million Dollar Man, but that historical claim is not an audited estimate of his wealth today.
Is Lee Majors’ net worth known?
There is no verified current net-worth figure in the sources reviewed: no audited personal financial statement, court-verified total of assets, or transparent calculation. Online estimates that do not explain their sources and methods should therefore be treated as unverified, not as confirmed facts.

Net worth is assets minus liabilities at a particular point in time. It is different from a salary, the amount earned on one show, or cumulative career income before taxes and expenses. A figure describing money made from a particular production cannot establish someone’s present net worth.
What has been reported about his earnings?
The Six Million Dollar Man
A circa-2013 Daily Mail interview article reported that Majors made $6 million from The Six Million Dollar Man. The article does not document how the figure was calculated, whether it is gross or net, or whether it was independently verified. It is a historical claim about the show, not a reliable statement of Majors’ current assets or lifetime earnings. The $6 million should also not be confused with the fictional cost of Steve Austin’s bionic reconstruction.
#1 Best Overall
The Big Valley
Majors recalled, “I made 900 bucks a week on ‘Big Valley.’ That was big money then.” The interview transcript does not establish a dependable publication date. The recollection offers period context about his pay on that series; it cannot be converted into a present-day wealth estimate.
How his acting career provides context
Majors’ television career helps explain why earnings claims are often tied to particular roles, but it does not disclose his finances. Biography.com identifies The Big Valley (1965–1969) as his breakthrough role. He played Steve Austin in the 1973 television movie that led to The Six Million Dollar Man series (1974–1978), and later starred in The Fall Guy (1981–1986). Biography.com’s Lee Majors biography documents this career chronology, not a net-worth total.

Majors also described working in action-drama series across the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, with time away to recharge before returning to projects, in a 2005 interview. A long career is not itself evidence of a specific accumulated fortune: contracts, expenses, taxes, investments, liabilities, and other private financial details would all matter.
Why a reported paycheck or show earnings do not prove net worth
- A salary is not wealth. The $900-per-week recollection concerns one role in a past period; it says nothing by itself about later income or current assets and liabilities.
- Show earnings may be defined differently. The reported $6 million lacks a documented methodology and does not clarify gross versus net proceeds.
- Net worth changes over time. Even a once-accurate estimate would need a date and a credible accounting basis to describe current wealth.
- Attribution matters. An estimate is more useful when its publisher identifies underlying records and explains its calculation. No such verified calculation is established here.
What Majors said about proceeds from a release
A 2010 Los Angeles Times interview reprint hosted by a fan site described a 40-disc The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Collection set, with all five seasons, six original television movies, crossover episodes with The Bionic Woman, interviews, and commentary. The reprint attributes this comment to Majors about the boxed set: “If I see any money from it, it’ll be very little.” This was his expectation regarding that release, not a general statement about his finances. The cited 2010 account does not establish current availability, edition, or price.
