Skipping to the final movie, American Reunion, he earned $5 million. Everything in between remains undisclosed, including his work on other notable films such as Goon and Ice Age.

Shifting Gears Salary

According to court documents filed in his 2025 child support dispute, Seann William Scott reportedly earned $95,000 per episode for starring alongside Tim Allen in the sitcom Shifting Gears.

However, the couple unfortunately separated in 2023, and in February 2024, Scott filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

According to reports, Scott agreed to pay Korenberg:

• $1 million lump sum settlement
• $6,000 per month in child support
• $35,000 worth of legal fees

He also retained his properties, personal belongings, and bank accounts, but reportedly allowed Korenberg to stay at his Malibu property for a limited period. Korenberg retained her personal belongings and any other gifts or assets acquired during the marriage under her name.

Child Support Dispute

However, the couple was back in court in 2025, as Korenberg sought an increase in child support payments. She claimed that Scott was earning $148,000 per month through salary, royalties, and investments, and that he tried to evict her from his Malibu home.

Scott also claimed that he was paying $8,000 per month on child care, $15,000 per month on property taxes, and had paid total legal fees of $500,000 during the divorce and child support proceedings. He ultimately agreed to increase his child support obligations to $11,000 per month to settle the dispute.

The actor returned this property to the market in February 2026, with an asking price of $17.85 million. It’s currently still available for sale.

• Reportedly earned $1 million from Footloose (1984)
• Paid just $700 per week for his debut film in 1978
• Potentially lost as much as $30 million from the Bernie Madoff scandal

Before Wealth & Fame

Kevin Bacon grew up in a close-knit family that valued education and creativity, showing an early interest in the arts and acting in school plays and theater productions at a young age. He attended Julia Reynolds Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School, a prestigious public school in Philadelphia, where he excelled academically.

After graduating from high school, Bacon attended the Circle in the Square Theater School in New York City, where he studied acting. He then studied at the BFA Acting Program at Lehman College in New York City, later taking on small roles in theater productions and commercials.

The Following Salary

According to reports, when Kevin Bacon began starring in the psychological horror series, The Following, he earned approximately $175,000 per episode. Bacon played the lead role of Ryan Hardy in all three seasons and 45 episodes between 2013 and 2015. Assuming that the figure above is accurate and remained constant throughout the three seasons, Bacon should have earned $2.63 million per season and $7.88 million overall.

Film Earnings

Kevin Bacon has said he was paid just $700 per week while filming his debut film, National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978). This film was produced on a budget of just $3 million and took only 32 days to film. Based on this, Bacon would have earned between $3,500 and $4,000 from the film. Adjusting for inflation, this would equate to roughly $18,000 in today’s currency.

The actor’s next reported salary was a $1 million paycheck for starring in the 1984 film, Footloose. Again, since the film was produced more than 40 years ago, the inflation-adjusted equivalent would be $3.2 million today. According to a 1992 article from Deseret News, Bacon earned $650,000 for starring in A Few Good Men. This made him the fourth-highest-paid cast member, behind Tom Cruise ($12 million), Jack Nicholson ($5 million), and Demi Moore ($2 million).

He allegedly earned $2.5 million for starring in the 1996 film Sleepers, alongside Brad Pitt and Robert De Niro. He also reportedly earned $5 million from Hollow Man (2000), $3 million from Mystic River (2003), and $6 million from Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011). The latter is the one we have the most trouble believing. For comparison, Steve Carell earned approximately $15 million from being the lead actor and producer of the film.

In 2022, Bacon was interviewed by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett on the Smartless Podcast, where he explained that the couple had most of their money invested with Madoff.

He also stated that while most of the funds were gone, they were able to recover a small portion. The exact losses haven’t been disclosed, but Bacon briefly mentioned it was in the millions. Some sources suggest that the couple may have lost as much as $30 million, but this hasn’t been confirmed.

Real Estate

In December 2011, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick paid $2.5 million for a 2,760-square-foot, three-bedroom home in Los Angeles, California, through an LLC linked to Kyra. The title was later transferred to the Bacon Family Trust, and the couple still owns it at the time of writing. It currently has an estimated value of $3.8 million.
