Seth MacFarlane net worth is $150 million and growing. Seth makes more than $30 million each year from DVD and merchandise sales and a lucrative contract with the Fox network.
MacFarlane is a writer, producer, singer, comedian and voice actor. Everything Seth touches becomes gold and he is the person behind The Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show, which all air on the very same network, Fox!
But Seth's fortune from hit TV shows and DVD sales can't hold a candle to how successful his first feature film was. Ted, a comedic movie about a perverted cursing teddy bear, was released in 2012. A sequel is expected this year or next year. Seth already had a huge following due to the success of Family Guy and its cult following, but Ted may have appealed to many people who don't watch Family Guy at all. The movie grossed more than $500 million at the worldwide box office! Damn. MacFarlane wrote, directed and produced Ted.
Born in Kent, Connecticut, Seth is only 40 years old but his Fox show Family Guy began airing when he was only in his 20s. Family Guy was canceled by Fox in 2001, which was clearly one of the network's biggest mistakes. Due to the massive DVD sales of the show's first season, which shattered records, Family Guy was picked back up and began airing on the network in 2005.
Seth made $2 million each year from 2005 to 2008 for his cartoon. In 2009, MacFarlane inked a new deal with Fox that would make him $100 million in 5 years. Seth's $100 million contract does not include his DVD or merchandise profits, which are estimated to earn the multi-talented star more than $20 million every single year! Are you jealous yet?
Seth bought a mansion in Beverly Hills for $13.5 million, which is probably a lot of square footage, but he isn't married and has no children. Don't feel bad for Seth, though, you know he probably gets laid more than a rock star on tour.
