Net Worth History

When we first began researching Eric Ebron’s net worth in 2021, it was estimated at $6 million. It appears that this figure at the time was slightly outdated, and he was probably worth closer to $10 million at that time. He also retired in that same year, earning a final $6 million salary in the NFL. As a result, our estimates of his net worth have increased slightly, but not drastically, to $12 Million.

NFL Salary

In 2014, the Detroit Lions signed Eric Ebron to a four-year, $12.2 million contract, accompanied by a $7.2 million signing bonus. The signing bonus was split over the length of the deal, paying him approximately $1.8 million per year. Ebron earned a base salary of $420,000 in his first NFL season, taking home a total of $2.22 million. His salary consistently increased by roughly $400,000 per year until the end of the deal, earning him as much as $3.9 million in 2017, which also included a $500,000 roster bonus.

Although the contract had a fifth-year option available, Ebron chose to sign with the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 under a two-year deal. His deal with Indianapolis was worth $13 million plus incentives, with $6.25 million guaranteed. According to reports, Ebron earned $6.75 million in 2018 and $6.92 million in 2019, totaling just under $13.7 million. 

In 2020, Ebron signed what was reportedly a potential six-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, the agreement was later restructured after Ebron suffered injuries and decided to retire. As a result, Ebron received a total of $12 million combined in 2020 and 2021, which included his $5 million signing bonus.

Eric Ebron earned a total of $38 million during his NFL career.

Endorsements

Endorsement deals never accounted for a significant portion of Ebron’s income, and in fact, there was only one publicly documented endorsement during his career. This was his sponsorship with Nike, which he initially signed in 2014 after being drafted by Detroit. His exact earnings from Nike were never publicly disclosed.

However, one of Ebron’s income sources, which continues to earn him money post-retirement, is social media shoutouts, event appearances, and autograph signings, through OpenDorse. On Eric’s profile with the platform, we can see that he charges a minimum of $1,000 for custom videos, event appearances, and autographs, while also offering social media shoutouts for a minimum of $176.

Film Salaries

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.

Notable and more traditional Seth Rogen movies that didn’t make the list include Neighbors ($271 million), The Green Hornet ($228 million), Knocked Up ($220 million), Superbad ($171 million), and Pineapple Express ($102 million).
