Introduction

Jason Bateman is an American professional actor, director, and producer with an estimated net worth of $30 Million.

Bateman is best known for his role as Michael Bluth, who used deadpan comedy in the sitcom Arrested Development, for which he won a Golden Globe and a Satellite Award. He has appeared in films such as Teen Wolf Too, The Break-Up, Juno, The Switch, and Game Night.

Before Wealth & Fame

Jason Bateman grew up with a Hollywood film director for a father, which provided him exposure to the industry from a young age. As a child, he starred in numerous TV commercials, three of which were for different breakfast cereals. These included Golden Grahams, Honey Nut Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, and additional commercials for Toyota and Pac-Man Vitamins.

Before landing his first significant role on television, Bateman had no formal acting training. He also never finished high school, opting to pursue acting full-time.

TV Career

In 1981, at just twelve years old, Jason Bateman began starring as James Cooper Ingalls in the television series Little House on the Prairie. This was his first official acting role, appearing in 21 episodes from 1981 to 1982.

Throughout the 1980s, Bateman had recurring roles in many other TV series, including Silver Spoons, where he again appeared in 21 episodes. In 1984, he landed the role of Matthew Burton in It’s Your Move, which aired for just 18 episodes.

Despite these numerous shows, Bateman’s most notable TV role from the 1980s arrived in 1986, when he was cast as David Hogan in the family comedy Valerie. The series aired for six seasons from 1986 to 1991, with Bateman starring in all 110 episodes.

Fast-forward twelve years to 2003, when Bateman landed his most iconic role as Michael Bluth in Arrested Development. The way cast members were paid for Arrested Development was unusual for the industry. According to an article from The Hollywood Reporter, the cast was paid on an episode-by-episode basis, calculated on a sliding scale. Here’s how it was calculated per episode:

Starring actor – $125,000
Over 90 seconds of screentime – $50,000
Less than 90 seconds of screentime – $10,000
If a clip featuring the actor from a previous episode is shown – $1,000

This was because clips were not filmed in order, and it wasn’t known who would be the featured actor of each episode until they were compiled together. Bateman starred in 84 episodes across the five seasons.

In recent years, Jason has continued his work on television with the Netflix series Ozark, which aired for four seasons from 2017 to 2022.

Film Career

Jason Bateman is one of the rare actors who has had as good a career, if not better, in movies than in television. His films have grossed over $3 billion at the box office. In the 2000s, he worked with Vince Vaughn on the movies Dodgeball (2004), The Break-Up (2006), and Couples Retreat (2009).

In the 2010s, he continued starring in comedy films, working alongside actors such as Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, and Ryan Reynolds. His most notable films during this period were The Switch (2010), The Change-Up (2011), and Horrible Bosses 1 & 2 (2011).

Ozark Salary

According to a report from Variety, Bateman and his co-star Laura Linney were each paid $300,000 per episode for starring in Ozark. This equates to $3 million per season, equalling $12 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Bateman has starred in many iconic comedy movies, but his voiceover work as Nick Wilde in Zootopia would become his biggest box office film. The movie grossed $1.03 billion at the global box office against a budget of $150 million. The rest of the list includes his work with the likes of Will Smith, Jason Sudeikis, Vince Vaughn, and Jennifer Aniston.

Hancock grossed $629 million, Horrible Bosses earned $210 million, and The Break-Up scored $206 million. Some notable mentions that didn’t make the list include Game Night ($118 million), Horrible Bosses 2 ($108 million), and The Change-Up ($75 million).

Here’s a complete list of Jason Bateman’s ten highest-grossing movies:

Zootopia – $1.03 Billion (2016)
Hancock – $629 Million (2008)
Juno – $232 Million (2007)
Central Intelligence – $217 Million (2016)
Horrible Bosses – $210 Million (2011)
The Break-Up – $206 Million (2006)

While there’s not a lot of publicly available information regarding Seth Rogen’s film paychecks, here’s what we do know. When Seth starred in Knocked Up in 2007, he reportedly earned a salary of $500,000. By the 2010s, his career was in full swing, earning an impressive $6 million payday from The Green Hornet.

When Sony was hacked in 2014, internal documents were leaked regarding the salaries of Seth Rogen and James Franco for The Interview. According to the papers, Franco earned $6.5 million, while Rogen earned $8.4 million. Seth’s salary was higher due to his multiple roles, helping write, direct, and produce the film.

Platonic Salary

According to Variety, Rogen earned an estimated $750,000 per episode for starring in Platonic. His co-star, Rose Byrne, was also paid $750,000 per episode. Given that Seth also worked as an executive producer on the show, he likely earned additional compensation, which hasn’t yet been included in the calculations.

Thus far, the show has aired one season and ten episodes, earning Rogen $7.5 million upfront. At the end of 2023, Platonic was renewed for a second season. However, salaries are unconfirmed at the time of writing.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Despite starring in some of the funniest films released in the 2000s, none of the movies Rogen is traditionally known for made it into his top ten. His highest-grossing movie was 2019’s The Lion King, for his role as Pumbaa. The film grossed $1.66 billion at the global box office against a budget of $260 million.

As we look at the list, nearly all movies are animated, including Kung Fu Panda 1-4, which grossed a combined $2.4 billion. His roles as the voice of Donkey Kong in The Super Mario Bros. Movie helped the film gross $1.36 billion, and the Ship Captain in Shrek 3, $813 million.

Real Estate

He owned the property for fourteen years and eventually returned it to the market in October 2020, asking for $2.125 million. It sold a month later for $2.16 million. Considering that the property taxes amounted to at least $200,000 in total during his ownership, plus agent commissions, his profit was potentially between $100,000 and $200,000.

Introduction

Jim Parsons is an American professional actor and producer with an estimated net worth of $160 Million

The Big Bang Theory Salary

Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, and Johnny Galecki were paid more than the other actors in The Big Bang Theory, particularly in the show’s middle seasons. Jim earned $45,000 per episode in season one, totaling $765,000. His salary was increased to $200,000 per episode for seasons two, three, and four, earning $4.4 million, $4.6 million, and $4.8 million, respectively.

This brings Parsons’ earnings to $14.57 million for the first four seasons. The three leading cast members secured $350,000 per episode from season five onwards, in addition to 0.25% of the backend profits. Parsons earned $8.4 million apiece for seasons five, six, and seven, totaling $25.2 million.

In 2014, the production of season eight was delayed because multiple actors were without contracts. Cuoco, Galecki, and Parsons secured deals that tripled their salary to roughly $1 million per episode and quintupled their backend percentages to 1.25% each. Jim earned approximately $24 million apiece for seasons eight, nine, and ten, totaling $72 million.

Entering season eleven, Parsons had already earned over $97 million from his upfront salary. After further contract negotiations, Cuoco, Galecki, and Parsons agreed to take a $100,000 pay cut to bring supporting actresses Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik closer to the rest of the cast.

Assuming $900,000 per episode for the eleventh and twelfth seasons, Parsons would have earned another $43.2 million, bringing his total to roughly $140 million.

Endorsements

In addition to his income from his acting roles, Jim Parsons has also worked with various brands in advertising campaigns and TV commercials—some of which date back to before his mainstream success with The Big Bang Theory. This includes commercials in the early 2000s for FedEx, DiGiorno pizza, and Quiznos.

During the peak years of TBBT, Parsons appeared in TV commercials and ad campaigns for Hyundai, Verizon, and most notably, Intel. His endorsement deal with Intel involved numerous advertisements across social media and television to promote their RealSense 3D camera and motion control technology.

Estimates place his potential earnings from the Intel campaign between $1 million and $2 million, and for Hyundai and Verizon, he could have earned between $500,000 and $1 million. However, these are only estimates and not based on any reported information.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Sure, he’s known worldwide as Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, but Parsons also has some decent box-office hits. The top-grossing film was the animated family film Home (2015), which grossed $386 million globally. Hidden Figures produced great returns, grossing $236 million on a budget of $25 million. Garden State also performed well, only costing $2.5 million to make but scoring $36 million at the box office.

Some of the other films to make Parsons’ list include The Muppets ($165 million), School for Scoundrels ($24 million), and The Big Year ($8.2 million).

Here’s a complete list of Jim Parsons’ ten highest-grossing movies:

Home – $386 Million (2015)
Hidden Figures – $236 Million (2016)
The Muppets – $165 Million (2011)
Garden State – $36 Million (2004)
School for Scoundrels – $24 Million (2006)

Introduction

Don Cheadle is an American professional actor and filmmaker with an estimated net worth of $40 Million.

Film Salaries

Year	Project	Salary
2010	Iron Man 2	$1,000,000
Total Calculated Earnings:		$1,000,000

At the time of writing, only one of Don Cheadle’s many, many film salaries has been publicly disclosed. This was his $1 million salary for starring in Iron Man 2. It’s worth noting that this film marked the first of many appearances in the Marvel franchise. Several outlets have reported his salaries for later Marvel films, but these figures are just estimates and not based on any factual data.

Don’t Look Deeper Salary

According to Variety, Cheadle was paid a one-time fee of $1 million to star in Don’t Look Deeper in 2020. The miniseries aired for fourteen episodes, earning Cheadle roughly $71,400 per episode.

House of Lies Salary

Reports suggest that Cheadle earned $150,000 per episode for starring as Marty Kaan in House of Lies. The series aired for five seasons between 2012 and 2016, with Don appearing in all 58 episodes. Cheadle’s $150,000 per episode should have equated to $1.8 million per season for every season except the last, since it comprises just ten episodes. Thus, he would have earned $1.5 million for season five, bringing his total estimated earnings from House of Lies to $8.7 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Cheadle entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2010, and his work with the franchise quickly knocked many of his other movies off the list. He starred in three of the Avengers movies, which grossed a combined $6.3 billion at the box office. His first two appearances with the franchise, Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3, remain on the list, grossing $624 million and $1.22 billion, respectively. In addition, Cheadle was also featured in Captain America: Civil War and Captain Marvel, which added another $2.29 billion to his box office gross. In the seven Marvel movies he appeared in, Cheadle contributed to $10.4 billion in box office revenue.

Some notable mentions that didn’t make the list include Hotel Rwanda ($34 million), Crash $98 million), Traffic ($208 million) and Boogie Nights ($43 million).

Here’s a complete list of Don Cheadle’s ten highest-grossing movies:

Avengers: Endgame – $2.8 Billion (2019)
Avengers: Infinity War – $2.05 Billion (2018)
Avengers: Age of Ultron – $1.41 Billion (2015)
Iron Man 3 – $1.22 Billion (2013)
Captain America: Civil War – $1.16 Billion (2016)
Captain Marvel – $1.13 Billion (2019)
Iron Man 2 – $624 Million (2010)
Ocean’s Eleven – $451 Million (2001)
Ocean’s Twelve – $363 Million (2004)
Rush Hour 2 – $347 Million (2001)

Real Estate

Venice Home

In 2014, Cheadle and his wife acquired what was then an 800-square-foot bungalow in Venice, California, for $894,000. The couple completely transformed the home, turning it into a two-story steel-clad house with 2,400 square feet of living space and a rooftop deck.

Cheadle listed the home on the market in 2016 for $2.45 million, and after two years and several price changes, sold it for $2.415 million. While we’re unsure how much was spent on the construction, Don received pretty much what he was asking for on the property.
