He’s doing alright, alright, alright.

Matthew McConaughey has revealed why he turned down an eye-popping $15 million acting role.

The Oscar winner, 55, who was once offered the large cash offer, said people often mistake success with how much money that person has in their bank account β€” a notion he strongly disagrees with.

β€œRight now, money, fame, that’s the definition of success,” the β€œDallas Buyers Club” actor said on the β€œModern Wisdom” podcast Monday. β€œWhoever has more, you’re the winner.”

Instead, McConaughey said he’s looking to make a β€œprofit” of a different kind.

β€œI think there’s a difference between success and profit. Profit does pay you back,” the father of three said on the podcast.

β€œI love money. I’m all for it. I see a lot of one way tickets that are β€˜You can be successful and have more money but not be making a profit in your life.’”

The actor said he knows β€œmany very rich men” who have prioritized climbing the money ladder, but turned out to be very unhappy in their personal lives.

β€œ[They] were bewildered. Lost. Had no relationships,” he said. β€œThey didn’t have purpose. They just chased the dollar.”

β€œThey were good at it. They couldn’t necessarily say what they were good at, just good dealmakers who made the right calls,” the Texas native added.

The $15 million paycheck he reportedly turned down was rumored to be for a role in the 2008 film β€œMagnum, P.I.”

Shortly after, McConaughey signed on to star in β€œDallas Buyers Club” β€” a role that earned him an Oscar and a more modest payday of $200,000.

Still, the actor admits it’s nice having cushy few million sitting in his bank account.

β€œWould I be any less happy if I had a 50th of what I have right now? No. There’s no way I’d be less happy,” he said. β€œThe residuals decline on quality of life.”

McConaughey shares sons Levi, 15,Β andΒ Livingston, 11,Β andΒ daughter Vida, 14, with his wife, Camila Alves. The duo have been married since 2012.

The family lived in Malibu, Calif.,, for years, before McConaughey and Alves decided to pack up and move to Texas over a decade ago.

β€œWe were living a happy life in Malibu,” Alves previouslyΒ told Southern Living about their decision to leave California.

β€œWe had a beautiful house that we’d built together and put a lot of love and care into. We were raising our kids there. I was growing everything in the yard. I had bees making honey.”

Alves said that aΒ family emergency prompted them to take a tripΒ to Austin, during which she noticed that her famous husband appeared lighter in Texas than he did in the Golden State.

She said she noticed that he had a β€œpeaceful but confident, energetic look” about him while he was driving.

β€œYou want to move here, don’t you?” she asked him at the time, to which he responded, β€œYep.”
