Despite his many accomplishments, Mumford lives a low-key life when he isn’t performing, spending most of his time with his wife, actor Carey Mulligan, and their children. So, how much is Mumford’s net worth?

Just as Marcus Mumford was achieving the height of fame in the music industry, his personal life was also starting to look up. He reconnected with his childhood pen pal, actor Carey Mulligan, and the two embarked on a whirlwind romance. Reportedly, Mumford and Mulligan were able to touch base after a period of many years when Mumford invited Mulligan to a secret show that Mumford & Sons played in the basement of a friend’s house in Nashville. Things took off from there, with the couple moving in together not long after the concert.

Mulligan and Mumford are a low-key pair, and they kept their April 2012 wedding very private. The two support each other in their numerous business endeavors, including Mumford’s many music production projects. Thanks to all of Mumford’s efforts as an artist and a producer, he’s managed to become very wealthy. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Mumford has a net worth of around $10 million.
