Who Needs Money When You’ve Got BDE? Pete Davidson, That’s Who!

Pete Davidson has made a professional name for himself on the standup circuit as well as for his eight seasons on Saturday Night Live. However, he may be even more well known for his high profile romances with some of the biggest and hottest celebrities. This has left many wondering—what is it that they see in the comedian?

So… that got us curious as to what Pete Davidson’s net worth could be. From appearances in movies like The King of Staten Island and the newly released Bodies Bodies Bodies, Davidson is making big moves.

Here is all you need to know about Pete Davidson’s net worth.

How did Pete Davidson become famous?

Pete Davidson has earned his fame through his comedy career—which actually began at the age of 16 on a dare at a bowling alley. The impromptu standup set gave Davidson the comedy bug, which he began pursuing in earnest. He started booking appearances on MTV shows as a talking head comedian, including Failosophy, Guy Code, PDA and Moms, and Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out.

He had his first televised standup as part of Gotham Comedy Live on Comedy Central, helping him gain further traction. Eventually, a small part in 2015’s Trainwreck introduced Davidson to Bill Hader, a connection that gave him the opportunity to audition for Saturday Night Live.

Davidson earned a spot in the cast of SNL for the show’s 40th season in 2014, which is what first gave him his taste of recognizability. He became one of the youngest cast members ever and the first cast member born in the 90s.

However, it was his five-month whirlwind romance with Ariana Grande in 2018 that really put Davidson on the map. The headline-grabbing relationship was constantly in the news, especially considering the two got engaged not long after their first date. When the relationship ended almost as suddenly as it began, Davidson continued dating women who were dubbed out of his league, including Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor and most recently Kim Kardashian. This has kept Davidson in the headlines and therefore in the public eye.
