Friedrich von Ledebur, a versatile talent known as an actor, miscellaneous crew, and stunt performer, had an estimated net worth ranging from $100,000 to $1 million in 2024. Born in 1900, he left a remarkable legacy in the entertainment industry with his rich repertoire of skills and performances. With a career spanning several decades, Ledebur contributed his talents to various projects, leaving a lasting impact on film and theater. Despite his passing, his contributions continue to be celebrated and his net worth reflects the success he achieved throughout his illustrious career.
Ledebur was born in Austria-Hungary (later Poland) in 1900. Friedrich enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army in 1916 and was an officer in the Austrian Cavalry Division during the last years of World War I.
After the war, Ledebur spent the next two decades travelling the world, working all manner of odd jobs from gold mining to deep sea diving, to riding and winning prize money at rodeos. Ledebur settled in the United States in 1939 and anglicised his name to 'Frederick'.
In 1945, von Ledebur made his film debut. He later appeared in Alexander the Great (1955), and played chief harpooneer Queequeg, a South Sea chieftain, in the film Moby Dick (1956). "Better a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian", Herman Melville's Ishmael famously says of Queequeg in the book and the film. He appeared as Brother Christophorus in Twilight Zone episode "The Howling Man".
