Jason Bateman Net Worth $50 Million
So how rich is Jason Bateman? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $50 million, most of his wealth having been accumulated from his work as an actor – in particular he earns $125,000 for one episode of “Arrested Development”.
Jason Bateman received success and recognition as a television actor at a very young age – he starred in the popular TV show of the 1980s called “Little House on the Prairie”. His early start in a television career might be related to the fact that his father, Kent Bateman has been an actor, director and writer for many years, as well as a founder of repertory stage in Hollywood. In fact, Jason’s father was his manager up until his 20th birthday. In the 1980s Jason continued his work in television, having small roles in several TV shows. At about that time, he was an actor (and even the director, the youngest director in Director’s Guild of America) in the TV series “The Hogan Family”. All his work contributed steadily to the growth of Jason’s net worth.
Jason Bateman continued working almost exclusively in television – although he debuted as a film actor in 1987 when he played a role in the movie entitled “Teen Wolf Too – appearing in numerous TV series such as “George & Leo”, “Two of a Kind” and many others, but the series “Arrested Development” earned most nominations and awards for Jason. In 2005 he won the Best Actor Golden Globe award, he was nominated for an Emmy award, and won two Satellite awards in the same year. When the show was cancelled in 2006, Jason spent the next few years starring in different movies such as “Juno” (in 2007), “Hancock” (in 2008), “State of Play” (in 2009), “Paul” (2011) and many other titles, which had a positive influence on his net worth, until the show was renewed in 2013. It seemingly regained its fame, as during that year Jason was nominated for a Teen Choice Award (Choice Movie Actor: Comedy), an Emmy award (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series), a Screen Actor’s Guild Award (Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series) and a Golden Globe (Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy). Without a doubt, Jason’s work on “Arrested Development” has had a great influence on his ever-growing net worth.
Currently, Jason is working as a director on a comedy/drama film “The Family Fang”.
In his personal life, Jason has been married to Amanda Anka (since 2001), and they have two daughters. During his career, especially in the 90s, Jason has had some problems with drug abuse and has publically talked about beating these addictions.
