According to sources, it is estimated that the total of Riz Ahmed’s net worth, as of early 2018, revolves around the sum of $3 million which has been primarily acquired through his career in the entertainment industry, active since 2006.

Riz was born in the London district of Wembley, and apart from English, is also of Pakistani and Indian ancestry. He matriculated from Merchant Taylors’ School, Northwood, before enrolling at Oxford University’s Christ Church college from which he graduated with a PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) degree. Later Riz continued his education at the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, where he studied acting. His acting debut occurred in September 2006, when he appeared on stage in Asian Dub Foundation’s opera “Gaddafi: A Living Myth”, which was followed by starring in the critically acclaimed stage play “Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train” at the Lighthouse Theatre.

His on-camera debut occurred later in 2006, when he appeared in the award-winning documentary drama movie “The Road to Guantanamo”. Subsequently his first television appearance followed when he appeared in two episodes of “The Path to 9/11” mini-series. In the course of the next several years, Ahmed added several more notable roles to his acting portfolio, including the TV series “Wired” and “Dead Set”, in addition to movies “Shifty” (2008) and “Four Lions” (2010), for which he was honored with the British Independent Film Award nominations for The Best Actor.

Doubtlessly, all these accomplishments have helped Riz Ahmed to enlarge the size of his revenues by a large margin.

Despite being a noted actor, Ahmed is also a successful musician – he has been into rapping since his teenage years, and so far has won numerous rap battles. He released his debut single “Post 9/11 Blues” which, due to politically sensitive references, was later banned. Riz’s debut studio album “Microscope” hit the charts in 2011. As a member of the Swet Shop Boys duo, he also released the “Cashmere” album in 2014 which was followed by another solo mixtape in 2016 entitled “Englistan”.

Rizwan ‘Riz’ Ahmed Quotes

• [on representing the Asian community] I try and say that in terms of my intentions, that is to represent myself. But in terms of an awareness of it, like, you know, you’re aware of the fact that you do represent more than yourself if there aren’t a variety of representatives. It’s the same as, like, the dad in East is East is just a character that someone has written, but if there’s only one Asian dad on TV for five years then that figure becomes archetypal – you extrapolate from that to represent every Asian dad, for example. And if there aren’t that many faces on the screen then the faces that are on screen carry extra weight. So I’m aware of that and I don’t think putting my head in the sand is fair really because I think we’re in the business of trying to articulate… Some times it’s healthy to be indulgent and try to articulate your own thoughts, but trying to articulate collective thoughts of us as Asians, particularly if you’re a social group that doesn’t have much access or platform to voice your own… I’m not saying you should basically represent minorities or disenfranchised people how they want to be represented – how do they want to be represented? That’s patronising in itself – but, yeah, I am aware of that.
• I’m not in a “starry” position to be able to pick and choose, but I am interested in telling stories of substance with great directors – that’s my only guiding principle.
• What’s interesting about the UK is that it celebrates an alternative voice. It’s up for telling new stories. Within that fresh range of stories, there are quite a lot of interesting roles out there for young actors… if you seize every opportunity to do the best you can then, just like any freelance profession, word can spread and you might get wider opportunities.
• Post 9/11 Blues is an observational satire about the surreal circus of fear at that time. It’s a generational thing.
• [Oxford University] is socially unrepresentative of the real world. The first person I met, I asked to borrow a phone charger. She looked at me, laughed in my face, and told me with no irony or malice that I looked just like Ali G.
• The camera or the microphone in the booth is merciless. If you don’t believe what you’re saying, it hears it. If you don’t believe it, it sees it in your eyes, it hears it in your voice that there isn’t the conviction there.
