According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ed Asner was worth approximately $10 million at the time of his death. While it is unknown how much Asner actually made on each of his individual projects, the popularity of the projects in which he participated, like "Up" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" suggests that his roles were not only noteworthy, but lucrative. As a recent 2015 report by Deadline suggests, Asner made no salary while serving as the president of the Screen Actors Guild, though he likely would have accepted reimbursed expenses that amounted to thousands of dollars.

Not much is known about how Asner spent his wealth during his lifetime. In 2019, Asner's old ranch-style home in Studio City, California sold for $1.955 million. Asner first purchased the property, which consists of vaulted ceilings, French doors, a luxurious pool, and other lavish accessories, for $540,000 in 1996, according to the Los Angeles Times.

At this time, it is unclear who will inherit Asner's fortune.
