Introduction

Joe Manganiello is an American professional actor with an estimated net worth of $40 Million. 

Since beginning his career as a professional actor in 1999, Joe Manganiello has spent over twenty-five years in the industry, starring in 79 projects. Some notable franchises that Manganiello has been involved with include Spider-Man and Magic Mike, which have contributed approximately $2.05 billion to his total box office revenues. At the time of writing, Manganiello’s films have grossed over $3.5 billion at the worldwide box office.

Before Wealth & Fame

Joe Manganiello was a serious athlete in high school, captaining not only the football team but also the basketball and volleyball teams. While Joe was initially interested in pursuing a sports career, a series of early injuries led him to reconsider his plans.

At the same time, he was also passionate about filmmaking, often creating short films with his friends. As many of his fans may know, Manganiello is a huge Dungeons & Dragons fan and previously spent a significant amount on his setup, but more on that later. He studied at the School of Drama at Carnegie Mellon University after making two attempts to get his application accepted. 

Before Manganiello’s acting career took off, he held various jobs to support himself, including construction work, bouncer duties at nightclubs, and bodyguarding for A-list celebrities.

Highest-Grossing Movies

The Spider-Man and Magic Mike franchises have contributed $2.05 billion to Manganiello’s box office value, with his role as Flash Thompson producing his two highest-grossing films. Spider-Man 3 grossed $151 million in its opening weekend and $896 million overall. The original Spider-Man grossed slightly less, at $826 million, but on almost half the budget ($139 million vs. $258 million).

The Magic Mike trilogy didn’t do as well. Its box office numbers consistently dropped with each new installment. The first installment, released in 2012, grossed $167 million, followed by $120 million for the second, Magic Mike XXL. Fortunately, the production budgets for the first two films were low, $7 million and $14 million, respectively. However, Magic Mike’s Last Dance increased its budget dramatically to $40 million, yet it only grossed $57 million at the box office.

Here’s a complete list of Joe Manganiello’s ten highest-grossing movies:

1. Spider-Man 3 – $896 million (2007)
2. Spider-Man – $826 million (2002)
3. Justice League – $661 million (2017)
4. Rampage – $428 million (2018)
5. Smurfs: The Lost Village – $197 million (2017)

9. Playing with Fire – $69 million (2019)
10. Magic Mike’s Last Dance – $57 million (2023)

Sofia Vergara Divorce

Manganiello was married to actress Sofia Vergara for seven years from 2015 to 2023. The couple reportedly separated in July 2023 because Joe wanted to have children, but Vergara didn’t; however, Manganiello later stated that there was no ultimatum and that the couple naturally drifted apart over time.

As for their finances, the couple signed a prenuptial agreement before marriage, and thus, had kept all of their assets separate from each other. Neither party benefited financially from the divorce, and spousal support was waived.

Introduction

Reggie Bush is an American former professional NFL player with an estimated net worth of $25 Million. 

After eleven seasons in the NFL with five teams, including the New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, and Buffalo Bills, Reggie Bush earned an estimated $63.2 million. This equates to an average annual salary of $5.75 million, excluding endorsement income. He scored a total of 58 touchdowns, averaging 4.27 yards per carry.

Quick Facts

• Earned $63.2 million during his NFL career
• Peak annual earnings of $13.7 million in 2007 from salary & bonuses
• Awarded $12.5 million in a personal injury lawsuit against the Rams
• The most valuable contract was his 6-year, $52.5 million rookie deal with the New Orleans Saints

Net Worth History

When we initially began tracking Reggie Bush’s net worth in 2021, it was estimated to be around $25 million. Bush had already been retired for over five years before we first listed him on the site, and as such, there have been no significant changes to his net worth. However, he is involved in several entrepreneurial endeavors, including a golf line with TravisMathew.

NFL Salary

In 2006, Reggie Bush signed a six-year rookie contract worth $52.5 million with the New Orleans Saints, which guaranteed him $26.35 million. Bush was drafted as a promising running back and Heisman Trophy winner; however, he struggled to fulfill the Saints’ hopes for him. After two years, Bush was given a new three-year deal with the Saints worth $32.9 million, lowering his average annual value from $8.8 million to $8.2 million.

Bush played for the Miami Dolphins in 2011 and 2012, earning $5 million and $4.8 million, respectively. This marked the beginning of a downward trajectory in Bush’s earnings potential. He earned $8.5 million for two years with the Detroit Lions, $2.5 million in 2015 with the 49ers, and a final $1.5 million in 2016 with the Buffalo Bills.

During his NFL career, Reggie Bush earned a total of $63.2 million. Unfortunately, his rookie contract was the most lucrative of his career.

Personal Injury Lawsuit

Surprisingly, a large chunk of Reggie Bush’s net worth originated from a 2016 lawsuit he filed against the St. Louis Rams, now the Los Angeles Rams. In November 2015, Bush was playing for the San Francisco 49ers in a game against the St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome. He was pushed out of bounds and slipped on the concrete, tearing his meniscus.

As a result, Reggie filed a personal injury lawsuit against the Rams in early 2016 and was awarded $12.5 million in damages. This included $4.95 million in compensatory damages and $7.5 million in punitive damages. His compensation from the lawsuit was five times larger than his salary that year with the 49ers.

NCAA Defamation Lawsuit

In August 2023, Reggie filed a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA after they had previously alleged he participated in a “pay-for-play arrangement.” Bush claimed that the organization’s statements were false and harmful to his reputation. As such, the case is currently still ongoing, and there’s no information on a particular figure that Reggie is seeking from the suit.

Real Estate

In 2014, Bush spent $7.75 million on a 5-bedroom, 7,500-square-foot mansion in the Los Angeles Pacific Palisades neighborhood. He listed the home for sale in August 2019 for $9.995 million. Around the same time he listed the Palisades home, Bush paid $5.65 million for a newly built 9,000-square-foot home in Encino, California.
