In a 16th September 2016 CNBC interview, Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman disclosed that he owns Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. "I'm a huge fan of Elon Musk. He's got the most incredibly forward-thinking ideas about where we can go technologically," the Shawshank Redemption star had said.
The Tesla stock closed at £10.85 ($13.52) when the interview aired in 2016. The stock price was £326.27 ($406.58) on 24th January 2025. If Freeman had bought £10,000 worth of Tesla stock on the day of the interview and didn't sell, it would be worth over £300,000 today, a 3,000% investment profit.
