MLB Salary

In 2009, Mike Trout joined the Los Angeles Angels with a $1.2 million signing bonus. He played in the minor leagues until 2011, when he secured a new contract worth $414,000 with the club. For the next three seasons, he typically earned between $480,000 and $1 million per season.

In 2015, Trout secured a $144.5 million, six-year extension with the Angels. Most of the contract’s value was weighted towards the latter years, and thus, his earnings varied greatly throughout the deal. Mike earned $5.25 million in 2015, followed by $15.25 million in 2016 and $19.25 million in 2017. By 2018, his salary had shot up to $33.25 million. The contract’s final two years were scrapped for Trout to negotiate a new extension, and thus, he earned $73 million of the $144.5 million available.

In 2019, Mike Trout signed the third-highest-value contract in MLB history, a 12-year, $426.5 million extension with the Angels. The contract is fully guaranteed and came with a $20 million signing bonus, earning Trout $36 million in 2019. He has earned $191.4 million of the contract’s value so far, typically earning a salary of $35.5 million per year. 

Mike Trout’s career earnings currently total $267.7 million, with roughly $213 million remaining in guarantees. His lifetime earnings are expected to surpass $480 million by 2030.

Endorsement Income

Mike Trout also generates a substantial income through lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships with prominent brands, including Nike, BodyArmor, Budweiser, Land Rover, Rawlings, and Subway. From 2019 to 2025, Trout typically earned between $3 million and $4 million annually from his endorsements, primarily through his signature shoe deal with Nike. However, there is one exception to this rule.

BodyArmor Investment

When Mike signed the first major endorsement deal of his career with BodyArmor back in 2012, he wasn’t just paid upfront. He also received a small equity percentage in the brand. While the exact percentage has never been publicly disclosed, it was reported that Trout potentially scored somewhere in the ballpark of $11 million from the investment in 2022, when Coca-Cola acquired the company.

Coca-Cola initially purchased a 15% stake in Body Armor in August 2018 and subsequently acquired the remaining 85% stake in November 2021. It was widely reported that the deal was valued at $5.6 billion; therefore, if Trout earned roughly $11 million, he likely held a 0.2% stake in the brand. 

Real Estate

In June 2019, Mike Trout paid $9.15 million for a 9,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home in Newport Beach, California. According to recent estimates, the property is now worth approximately $12.9 million and costs Trout around $100,000 in annual property taxes.

Before acquiring the home, Trout rented a $7 million property in Laguna Beach. However, it’s unknown how much he was paying per month. 

Introduction

Reese Witherspoon is an American professional actress, entrepreneur, and producer with an estimated net worth of $300 Million.

Earnings History

Since 2002, Reese Witherspoon has consistently ranked among the world’s highest-paid actresses, typically earning a minimum of $9 million per year from all her endeavors. There are several years where she didn’t make the list, but between 2002 and 2022, she has reportedly earned at least $343.5 million. In the 2000s and 2010s, her film paychecks typically contributed the most, often earning between $17 million and $32 million during peak years. 

However, more importantly, in recent years, thanks to The Morning Show, her earnings have skyrocketed, reaching as high $115 million in 2022. Her salary of $2 million per episode from the show made her the highest-paid actor on television.

Film Salaries

When Witherspoon’s film career began in the mid-1990s, she earned just $200,000 for starring in Fear (1996) and $250,000 for Cruel Intentions (1999). The 2001 film Legally Blonde was responsible for her first seven-figure paycheck, earning her $1 million for the film. The following year, she earned $8 million for starring in Sweet Home Alabama. In 2003, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde earned her $15 million, her first recorded eight-figure salary.

In the 2000s, Reese Witherspoon regularly earned $15 million per movie. She earned $15 million apiece for Vanity Fair (2004), Walk the Line (2005), Just Like Heaven (2005), and How Do You Know (2010). Her other notable film salaries include $14 million for Four Christmases (2008), $2 million for Water for Elephants (2011), and $12 million for This Means War (2012). Co-star Robert Pattinson also took a reduced salary of $1.5 million for Water for Elephants.

The Morning Show Salary

Apple TV’s The Morning Show, released in 2019, has some of the highest cast salaries ever recorded for a television show. Witherspoon and co-star Jennifer Aniston are both being paid $2 million per episode, more than any other actor in television history.

From 2019 to 2023, Witherspoon starred in 30 episodes and earned an estimated $60 million in salary. With Season 4’s release right around the corner, she’ll likely earn another $20 million from Apple in 2025.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Witherspoon’s highest-grossing movies have been spread out relatively evenly over two decades. The top-performing films were Sing (2016) and Sing 2 (2021), which grossed $634 million and $408 million, respectively. The movies also produced some of the highest returns on investment, costing only $75 million and $85 million to make. In contrast, the third highest-grossing film on her list, Monsters vs. Aliens, had the highest budget of any movie in her career. It cost $175 million to produce but only grossed $382 million.

Other films on Witherspoon’s list include some of her more iconic work, such as Four Christmases ($164 million), This Means War ($156 million), and Legally Blonde ($142 million).

Here’s a complete list of Reese Witherspoon’s ten highest-grossing movies:

1. Sing – $634 Million (2016)

Real Estate

In March 2020, Reese Witherspoon and her husband, Jim Toth, paid $15.9 million for a 9,504-square-foot, seven-bedroom, ten-bathroom home in Brentwood, California. The property, which spans over 3 acres and features a library, wine cellar, office, and service entrance, had initially been listed for as much as $21 million in 2015. 

Exactly two years after they acquired the home, the couple returned the property to the market, initially seeking $25 million. A month later, Witherspoon secured a sale for $21.5 million, generating $5.6 million in profit from the investment in just two years. However, there are also agent commissions and property taxes to consider, which could have cost as much as $1.5 million.

Introduction

David Hasselhoff is an American professional actor, singer, producer, and businessman with an estimated net worth of $10 Million. 

Hasselhoff built most of his net worth through his role as an actor and executive producer on Baywatch, earning as much as $100,000 per episode and recurring profits from syndication. However, his net worth has taken a significant hit over time, due to his high monthly spending of approximately $66,000 and alimony payments of $21,000. 

Within this article, we’ll outline our research on David Hasselhoff’s net worth history, including his earnings from Baywatch and the issues that have significantly impacted his wealth.

Baywatch Salary

In the early days of Baywatch, the prominent cast members reportedly received incredibly low sums, ranging from $1,500 to $3,500 per episode. Pamela Anderson earned just $1,500 per episode, and while David Hasselhoff’s salary for the first season has never been disclosed, it likely fell within this range.

Their salaries increased gradually throughout the show’s later seasons, but never reached the heights of other popular television shows. Hasselhoff’s reportedly increased to $60,000 per episode at some point, but the exact timeline is unclear. With an average of 22 episodes, he would have been earning $1.32 million per season. However, those first couple of seasons could have paid him just $30,000 – $60,000 apiece.

At the show’s peak, Hasselhoff earned roughly $100,000 per episode due to his role as an executive producer. This would have increased his earnings to $2.2 million per season. In a 2016 court case, he revealed that he was earning $112,000 per month, with a large chunk likely coming from syndication and rerun profits. 

It’s unknown exactly how much Hasselhoff has earned from syndication over the years. Some have reported the figure as over $100 million, but this likely doesn’t consider the dropoff over time. Just from his base salary alone, he could have earned between $15 million and $20 million. 

Legal Issues

In 2016, Hasselhoff’s lawyer filed court documents on his behalf to request a lower monthly alimony payment to his ex-wife, Pamela Bach. According to the papers, he was paying $21,000 per month in spousal support and had paid Bach over $2.3 million since their 2006 divorce.

Hasselhoff also stated that he had just $4,000 in cash, but admitted he still earned $112,000 per month and spent $66,000. The documents also revealed his assets, valued at $1.79 million, which were divided among his retirement savings, real estate, vehicles, jewelry, and art.

Bach painted a different picture entirely. She claimed that David had a net worth close to $120 million. A year later, Hasselhoff’s spousal support obligations were reduced to $10,000 per month, but by 2018, they were eliminated entirely. Given the court case result, it was clear that Hasselhoff’s net worth was nowhere near this figure.

Real Estate

Encino Mansion

According to reports, in March 1996, David Hasselhoff paid $1.98 million for an 11,149-square-foot, seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion in Encino, California. The property, situated on a 1.48-acre plot of land, features a colonial-style exterior and includes an outdoor tennis court, swimming pool, and a miniature putting green. In August 2009, Hasselhoff listed the house for sale, seeking $4.195 million. Over the next three years, he reduced the price a couple of times, then increased it back to $4.2 million, and finally sold the home for $3.55 million in April 2013.

Calabasas Home

In May 2013, a month after relinquishing his Encino property, David paid $1.95 million for a 5,767-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Calabasas, California. It appears that he no longer wanted to pay exorbitant property taxes on a huge mansion, and instead opted for something half the size, which more than halved his annual tax obligations.

In 2015, he briefly listed the home for sale, asking $2.3 million, but eventually removed it from the market. This was just a year before he requested a reduction in his alimony payments.
