Steve Carell is one of America’s all time favourite actors since his legendary performance in both The Office and 40-Year-Old Virgin.
With one of his most recent roles being the infamous Mitch Kessler in Apple TV’s hugely successful hit The Morning show, Steve Carell has been able to amass even more wealth.
So what is Steve Carell’s net worth exactly?
Steve Carell Net Worth:
According to Men’s Health, the actor has a net worth of a staggering $80 million!
During the third season of the office alone, Steve is said to have made $175,000 per episode.
Not only did Carell star in the show, but he also was a writer, producer, and director, so this would be the reason he earned a lot more than the rest of the cast.
However, not John Krasinski!
Krasinski is tied with Carell for highest net worth among The Office cast members with $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Not a bad amount to stash away at all!
Film and TV:
Despite racking up a big enough net worth to easily sit back and chill, Carell has starred in a whole host of movies and TV shows.
Some of the big ones include Bruce Almighty, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Netflix’s Space Force and of course The Morning Show.
According to Variety, his The Morning Show co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon were paid upwards of $1 million for season one of the show.
Carell, meanwhile, was reportedly given $750,000 for his time on screen.
John Krasinski on screen reunion:
Despite The Office ending years ago, Steve Carell has always remained close with John Krasinski.
The two may have staggering net worths, but there is still work to be done as both are set to reunite on the big screen.
They reunion has taken place nearly a decade after The Office went off the air.
The star has signed on for his former co-star’s next directorial effort entitled IF for Paramount Pictures, according to Deadline.
The movie is set to explore a child’s journey to rediscover their imagination.
Both stars will write, direct, produce and star in the film.
Other cast members include Ryan Reynolds, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., Alan Kim, Cailey Fleming and Fiona Shaw.
Love life:
Quite the opposite to his The Morning Show character Mitch Kessler, there is only one woman for Steve Carell.
He has been married to Saturday Night Live alumna Nancy Walls since August 1995.
Nancy is also said to have a net worth of $80 million according to celebrity net worth.
The couple met when she was a student in an improvisation class he was teaching at Second City.
In an interview with the Guardian, Steve said: “I was immediately attracted to my wife. She’s beautiful, intelligent and really funny. She kind of checked all the boxes in my head, but I thought she hated me because she was very quiet around me.”
In a 2015 interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Steve admitted that when he found out Nancy worked at a bar across the street, he would go out of his way to stop in and flirt with her.
How romantic!
Steve Carell’s marriage and children:
They since had two children, Elisabeth Anne, born May 2001 and John, born June 2004. The kids are known by loved ones as Annie and Johnny.
Speaking of his Wedding Day, Steve told the Guardian: “There was an ethereal sense of how right it all was and more than anything, it was very empowering knowing that person was going to be my partner and have my back. It just made me feel strong and I’ll never forget it.”
However, when asked about the couple’s secret to making it work, Steve simply put it all down to fate.
“There’s no secret, I think you get lucky.” He said.
Well a perfect marriage and a net worth of $80 million certainly does sound lucky!
Was Steve Carell’s real wife on The Office?
In addition to working with Carell as a fellow correspondent on The Daily Show, you might remember that Nancy starred alongside him on The Office.
She was cast as his realtor and short-lived girlfriend Carol Stills.
She also cameoed as a sex therapist in The 40-Year-Old Virgin and played Linda in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
They also created the TBS comedy series Angie Tribeca starring Rashida Jones, which premiered on January 17, 2016.
However, despite their TV fame, the two are very private and are not ones to post about their relationship on social media.
Makes a change!
However, he did open up about his love for his wife in an interview back in 2018.
“We make each other laugh. We always have,” he told Parade.
“Whereas with my brothers and my parents, our senses of humor were all very different. But Nancy and I share a sense of humor. We must have a thousand inside jokes, between the two of us, and it never gets old.”
