James Earl Jones is a well-known actor with a long career, and his estimated nett worth is $45 million. James was born in Arkabutla, Mississippi, and his father departed shortly after his birth. James was raised by his maternal grandparents. He went to his grandparents’ farm in Jackson, Michigan when he was five years old, and that experience was so traumatic that he developed a stutter that persisted until his high school English instructor assisted him in getting rid of it.
