Since the tragic passing of Carrie Fisher just this week, one of the questions that are on fan's minds is how much exactly the actress has left for her family. Fisher has been involved in a lot of projects outside of Star Wars. So, she could essentially be worth millions that she probably left to her only heir, her daughter with Bryan Lourd, Billie Lourd.

Aside from being the iconic Princes Leia Organa in the original Star Wars trilogy, Fisher has been involved in different projects as a novelist, a screenwriter, and a producer. Some fans will quickly assume that she probably is worth a fortune because of her many project. However, varying sources have reported different figures as to Fisher's true net worth.

A report from Go Banking Rates reveals that Carrie Fisher could be worth around $25 million. The relatively large figure is, however, still significantly lower than the net worth of her fellow Star Wars co-stars.

This is due to Fisher officially signing away her character and likeness which resulted in her not earning anything from any Star Wars merchandise involving her character. This was cited by analyst as a contractual mishap that could have added a lot more money to Fisher's overall fortune.

Aside from the money she earned in the different Star Wars movies, Fisher also earned some of her total net worth as a novelist. Fisher authored an autobiographical novel titled Postcards From The Edge, which was eventually made into a movie that starred Meryl Streep. Her own autobiography titled Wishful Drinking was also adapted into an HBO documentary.

As per Hollywood Take, Fisher's other sources of income outside of Star Wars, also included her work on different movie projects, including on Hannah and Her Sisters, Shampoo, Soap Dish and When Harry Met Sally among others.

Carrie Fisher died on Dec. 27, 2016, at the age of 60. She was survived by her daughter, Billie Lourd, her mother, Debbie Reynolds, and her siblings Todd, Joely, and Tricia Leigh.
