Keanu Reeves is so “embarrassed” by his wealth, he is literally giving it away.
The 57-year-old actor has an estimated net worth of $315 million, and he is using it to serve others, according to a report.
The Matrix star is “somewhat embarrassed” regarding his wealth and makes efforts to spread it, according to a family friend.

“Keanu’s given away a lot of money and done a lot more for people than most will ever know,” the friend said. “He knows how lucky he is. Unlike many Hollywood mega stars, he never takes any of this for granted.”
The actor’s generosity reportedly stems from the hardships in his life.
Reeves’s father was absent and was sentenced to prison on drug charges, and his best friend died following a drug overdose, according to the report.
Later in life, Reeves lost his daughter, Ava, after she was stillborn, which exacerbated the depression of his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Syme.
Syme died after crashing her Jeep while intoxicated, the report noted.
Reeves’s generosity has earned him the nickname of “prince,” according to his sister Kim.
After she was diagnosed with leukemia, her brother auctioned a date with himself and gave millions to charities, she said.
Reeves reportedly bought his mother and two sisters houses.
The actor has also been more than generous to people he works with on movie sets, according to the report.
