In case you've been wondering how much being a Marvel star and man who looks amazing in a cozy knit sweater pays, the answer is bucketloads. At least judging by Chris Evans' net worth, which is so high I'm surprised he doesn't spend his time buying planes and chilling on yachts in French Riviera à la the Kardashian-Jenners. So, how much does Chris have in the bank? Enough to make you gently weep into a pile of pennies.
What Did Chris Evans Make for Captain America?
It's truly an understatement to say that Chris' Marvel salary grew exponentially over the years. Back when he was first hired to play Captain America, he was reportedly paid a "mere" $300,000. Emphasis on those quotation marks since $300,000 is obviously a lot of money, but truly it's a fraction of what this man would go on to make. Anyway, here's this very important gif:
What Did Chris Evans Make for Avengers?
According to not one, but two, sources who spoke with the Hollywood Reporter, Chris Evans—along with his Marvel co-stars Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo—signed on for relatively "small" upfront fees for Avengers. At the time of THR's reporting, they were expected to make "$2 million to $3 million on Avengers with bonuses," so yeah—a big step up from that $300,000 but still not nearly as much as Chris would go on to make.
Anyway, another quote break for another very important gif:
What Did Chris Evans Make for Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame?
Per the sleuthy folks at The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans struck matching deals (must be a Chris thing) to renegotiate their salaries ahead of of Infinity War and Endgame. And said renegotiations went...well! Meaning Chris and Chris made $15 million per film, or $30 million total.
And these windfall paychecks had a huge impact on Chris' yearly earnings. According to Forbes, he made a reported $18 million in 2017, thanks in large part to his Infinity War pay. But honestly? That pales in comparison to Chris' ginormous 2018 and 2019 earnings. Due to that massive aforementioned Endgame salary (plus his TBD income from Knives Out and a foray into TV with Defending Jacob), Chris made $34 million in 2018 and $43.5 million in 2019, landing on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list.
Obligatory cozy sweater moment:
What Did Chris Evans Make for Captain America: Civil War?
You guessed it: Also $15 million, at least according to THR!
He Has Millions Tied Up in Real Estate
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Chris owns a home in Beverly Hills that he bought for $3.52 million in 2013. Gonna assume it's worth a lot more now due to ~inflation~.
So, What Is Chris Evans' Total Net Worth?
Chris Evans has a total reported net worth of $110 million–most of which appears to have come from his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But let's not forget that he's been in a gazillion other movies, including The Gray Man, where he got an alleged (unverified!) $10 million to star alongside Ryan Gosling, and Ghosted, where he got another alleged (unverified!) $10 million to star alongside Ana de Armas. Oh, and of course we can't forget Chris' illustrious foray into endorsements, by which I mean this Gucci ad:
And his partnership with premium dog food company Jinx, which he described thusly: "I'm excited to come on board and help grow awareness for the company so all dogs can have the highest quality food possible at an accessible price point."
If cashing a huge check to pose with a cute dog is "raising awareness," SIGN ME UP.
