Introduction

Ben Stiller is an American professional actor, comedian, and producer with an estimated net worth of $200 Million.

Although Stiller began his professional acting career in the late ’80s, his breakthrough came in the 2000s, with releases such as Meet the Parents (2000), Zoolander (2001), and Starsky & Hutch (2004). Since then, he’s played roles in over 130 projects, and his films have grossed $6.54 billion worldwide.

Stiller’s biggest box office successes include Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, which grossed $747 million on a $145 million budget. Night at the Museum also performed on the big screens, grossing $574 million worldwide.

In 2010, Stiller was the world’s second-highest-paid actor, earning $53 million from three film releases within the year. That figure included a $20 million payday from Little Fockers and an estimated $23 million from the Battle of the Smithsonian.

Quick Facts

• Earned an estimated $40-$50 million from the Meet the Parents trilogy
• Second-highest-paid actor in 2010, earning $53 million
• Movies have grossed $6.54 billion at the worldwide box office
• His highest-grossing film is Madagascar 3 ($747 million worldwide)

Earnings & Salary

While many of Stiller’s film salaries have never been publicly disclosed, there is information regarding at least half a dozen. The earliest recorded salary of his career was $3 million for There’s Something About Mary (1998). The movie was one of the year’s highest-grossing films and remains one of Stiller’s top-grossing films. For comparison, co-star Cameron Diaz earned $2 million for her titular role as Mary.

Some of Stiller’s more modest career salaries include $2.5 million for Zoolander (2001) and $1 million for The Big Year (2011).

Meet the Parents Trilogy Salary

While reports of cast salaries for each film of the Meet the Parents trilogy are slightly sporadic, Stiller’s role as Greg Focker is estimated to have earned him between $40 million and $50 million.

Stiller’s salary for the original Meet the Parents (2000) was undisclosed; however, co-star De Niro earned a reported $13.5 million for his role. For the sequel, Meet the Fockers (2004), Stiller earned an estimated $10 million; for the third film in the trilogy, Little Fockers (2010), both De Niro and Stiller were paid $20 million each. Despite having the highest budget of the three films, Little Fockers performed the worst at the box office, grossing $311 million against a $100 million budget.

Madagascar & Night at the Museum

While the Madagascar and Night at the Museum franchises are responsible for some of Stiller’s biggest box-office hits, his salaries have never been disclosed. Naturally, that doesn’t stop other websites from throwing out random numbers.

When Forbes listed Stiller as one of the highest-paid actors in the world in 2010, it reported that he had earned an estimated $53 million for the year, thanks to Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Little Fockers, and Greenberg. We know he received a $20 million salary for Little Fockers, leaving $33 million between the two remaining films.

Forbes also mentioned that Greenberg only earned $6 million at the box office, but they didn’t say “at the box office,” so low-quality publications took that to mean Stiller earned $6 million for his work in the film.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Stiller’s top ten list comprises primarily three franchises: Madagascar, Night at the Museum, and Meet the Parents. The highest-grossing movie of his career is Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, which grossed $747 million worldwide. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa came in second, grossing $604 million worldwide. Overall, the trilogy grossed $1.9 billion.

The Night at the Museum trilogy didn’t succeed as much, grossing a combined $1.35 billion. The original movie, released in 2006, was the top-grossing of the three. With every new Madagascar movie, its box office numbers grew. The opposite is true for Night at the Museum.

An unusual entry on the list was 1998’s There’s Something About Mary, the 3rd-highest-grossing movie of the year domestically ($176.5 million) and 4th overall ($370 million). Notable Stiller movies that didn’t make the list include 2008’s Tropic Thunder ($196 million), 2004’s Dodgeball ($168 million), and 2001’s Zoolander ($61 million).

Here’s a complete list of Ben Stiller’s ten highest-grossing movies:

1. Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted – $747 Million (2012)
2. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa – $604 Million (2008)
3. Night at the Museum – $574 Million (2006)
4. Madagascar – $542 Million (2005)

They relisted the house on the market in 2011 and sold it to actor Jason Statham for $7.33 million.

In 2016, the couple purchased a 3,395-square-foot condo in the West Village, New York City, overlooking the Hudson River. The four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom unit set them back $15.31 million.

NFL Salary

Seattle Seahawks Contracts & Earnings

It took a fair amount of time for Bobby Wagner to begin earning tens of millions of dollars in the league, but he got there eventually. When he signed his four-year, $4.3 million rookie contract with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012, his average annual salary was just under $1.1 million. Almost half of the contract’s value was paid out in the first year, thanks to a $1.57 million signing bonus.

In August 2015, a year before his rookie contract was scheduled to end, Wagner secured a $43 million, four-year extension with the Seahawks. The final year of his rookie deal was moved to the first year of the new agreement, and thus, his base salary in year one was just under $1 million. However, he also received an $8 million signing bonus, which led him to earn $9 million in 2015. The first year in which Bobby earned eight figures was 2018, when he took home approximately $11 million. 

Wagner’s final contract with the Seahawks (during his first run with the team) was worth $54 million over three years. The period from 2019 to 2021 was the highest-earning years of Bobby’s career, with a peak of $19 million in 2020. Despite leaving the team in 2022, he briefly rejoined in 2023 and earned $7 million, bringing his total earnings with the Seattle Seahawks to $91.76 million. 

Los Angeles Rams Contract & Lost Income

In 2022, Bobby Wagner signed a five-year, $50 million contract with the Los Angeles Rams, but only $10 million was guaranteed at signing. This low guarantee was an important factor because, just one season later, the Rams and Wagner mutually agreed to part ways. Wagner wanted to join a team with a chance to win the Super Bowl, and the Rams needed to free up cap space. As a result, Wagner received just $10.75 million of the contract’s value. His decision to do so has cost him approximately $3 million in annual income. 

Washington Commanders Contracts & Salary

Since joining the Commanders in 2024, Bobby Wagner has signed two contracts. The first earned him $7 million in his first season, and the second earned him $9 million this season. 

Seattle Storm Investment

In 2025, Bobby Wagner acquired a minority stake in the WNBA team, the Seattle Storm, making him the first active NFL player to invest in a WNBA franchise. Wagner’s exact stake and sum invested weren’t disclosed to the public. However, this investment included three parties, one of which was obviously Wagner. The parties acquired a 1.5% stake overall at a $325 million valuation. In other words, they invested just under $5 million in their franchise shares. Assuming an equal split, Wagner’s share would have cost him approximately $1.6 million.

Since this was a rather recent transaction, Seattle Storm’s current valuation remains unchanged. Though they are currently the third-most-valuable team in the league.

The only thing we found was a 2019 commercial for Verola Media that he starred in.

Real Estate

In 2019, after signing an extension with the Dolphins, Xavien Howard purchased a home for his mother in Cypress, Texas. We were unable to locate the exact home because Texas is a non-disclosure state, and there are several similar builds in the area. However, this property is believed to be roughly 4,000 square feet, or slightly under, with four bedrooms. The value of these homes typically ranges between $700,000 and $800,000.
