What is Seth Rogen's net worth and salary?

Seth Rogen is a Canadian comedian, actor, screenwriter, film producer, and voice actor who has a net worth of $80 million. Seth Rogen is known for his improvisational approach to comedy, which leads to organic and unique performances in front of the camera. Although Seth Rogen is best known for his acting roles in various films, he is also a talented stand-up comedian. A gifted writer, Rogen has contributed to a variety of well-known comedic scripts. Seth Rogen has strong political views and is involved in various activist groups and charities.

Rogen's entry into the entertainment world began early, with his start in stand-up comedy as a teenager. His comedic talent led him to his first major role in Judd Apatow's television show "Freaks and Geeks," where he played the lovably sarcastic Ken Miller. Although the show had a short run, it became a cult classic and served as a launching pad for Rogen's career.

He further cemented his working relationship with Apatow with roles in projects like "Undeclared" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." However, it was the 2007 comedy "Knocked Up," where Rogen starred and Apatow directed, that truly propelled him to mainstream fame. From there, Rogen took on an even more active role behind the camera, co-writing (with his frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg) and starring in hits like "Superbad" and "Pineapple Express."

His range extended beyond just acting and writing. Rogen and Goldberg made their directorial debut with the controversial 2014 film "The Interview," which drew significant attention due to its comedic portrayal of North Korea's leader and the subsequent cyberattack on Sony Pictures.

Rogen has also showcased versatility in his roles, demonstrating his ability to take on more dramatic roles in films like "Steve Jobs," while maintaining his comedic edge. Moreover, his venture into producing has given audiences projects like the AMC series "Preacher" and the acclaimed film "The Disaster Artist."

Outside of film and television, Rogen is known for his advocacy work, particularly concerning Alzheimer's research, inspired by his mother-in-law's battle with the disease. He's been a vocal supporter of marijuana legalization and has even launched his own cannabis brand.

Early Life

Seth Rogen was born on April 15, 1982, in Vancouver, Canada, to a Jewish family with strong political and social convictions. His father, Mark, was active in the Workmen's Circle Jewish fraternal organization, and his mother, Sandy, worked as a social worker. Rogen often describes his parents as "radicals" in their socialist views, which shaped his worldview. Although he later gained dual U.S. citizenship, he has always identified first and foremost as Canadian, pointing to his Vancouver upbringing as the foundation of his humor and creative voice.

Rogen attended Point Grey Secondary School, where many of his experiences inspired the coming-of-age comedy "Superbad." He began performing stand-up comedy as a child at Jewish summer camp, and by his early teens, he was writing and testing material at bar mitzvahs, community events, and eventually local clubs. At just 13 years old, he drafted the first version of "Superbad" with his childhood friend Evan Goldberg, modeling many of the characters after classmates.

Despite his growing passion for comedy, Rogen's teenage years were marked by family hardship. At 16, both of his parents lost their jobs and were forced to sell the family home. Around the same time, Rogen landed a life-changing role on Judd Apatow's cult series "Freaks and Geeks." The entire family relocated to Los Angeles, where Rogen, still a teenager, became the primary breadwinner, supporting his parents and older sister.

Early Acting and Writing Career

Although "Freaks and Geeks" lasted just one season, Rogen stood out for his improvisational skills. Judd Apatow quickly took him under his wing, casting him in other projects and even hiring him as a writer while still in his teens. Rogen contributed to Apatow's unaired follow-up show, sharpening his writing voice even before his acting career gained traction.

Struggling to find auditions in a competitive Los Angeles market, Rogen leaned into writing as his entry point to Hollywood. He joined Apatow's informal "frat pack," collaborating with comics like Steve Carell and Paul Rudd on developing scripts. During this time, he also picked up small roles in films such as "Donnie Darko" and "Anchorman," and earned a staff writing job on "Da Ali G Show," which gave him valuable behind-the-scenes experience.

Acting Breakthrough

Rogen's reputation rose with "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" (2005), where his improvised performance as one of Steve Carell's friends earned critical praise. His true breakthrough came in 2007 with "Knocked Up," his first leading role. The film grossed $219 million on a $30 million budget and proved Rogen could carry a major studio comedy.

He followed up with a mix of starring and writing projects. He voiced a lead role in "Kung Fu Panda" (2008), which grossed over $630 million worldwide, and played a supporting role in "Superbad," which he co-wrote with Evan Goldberg from their teenage script. That same year, he starred in "Pineapple Express," a stoner comedy that earned more than $100 million on a modest budget.

Not every film performed as well. "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" (2008), "Observe and Report" (2009), and "Funny People" (2009) struggled at the box office, though Rogen rebounded with "The Green Hornet" (2011). Despite critical panning, the superhero comedy made over $225 million worldwide.

Rogen then leaned into ensemble projects, appearing in "Paul" (2011), co-directing and starring in "This Is the End" (2013), and anchoring the hit comedy "Neighbors" (2014). He made international headlines with "The Interview" (2014), which he co-wrote and co-directed, when the film drew the ire of North Korea. In 2016, he co-wrote and produced "Sausage Party," the R-rated animated comedy that became a surprise box office smash, grossing over $140 million.

Rogen voiced Pumbaa in Disney's live-action "The Lion King" (2019), which earned over $1.6 billion worldwide, cementing it as one of the highest-grossing films of all time.

The Studio

In 2024, Rogen launched one of the defining projects of his career with Apple TV+'s "The Studio," a sharp satire about a bumbling Hollywood executive named Matt Remick. The series was both a critical and commercial triumph, quickly becoming one of Apple's flagship originals. Rogen not only starred in the lead role but also served as co-creator, writer, and director alongside longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg.

"The Studio" made Emmy history in 2025, winning 13 awards across the Primetime and Creative Arts ceremonies — the most ever for a freshman comedy. Rogen himself collected three trophies in a single night: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, Directing for a Comedy Series (shared with Goldberg), and Writing for a Comedy Series (shared with Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez). In doing so, he tied the all-time record for most Emmys won by an individual in one night, joining Moira Demos ("Making a Murderer," 2016), Amy Sherman-Palladino ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," 2018), and Dan Levy ("Schitt's Creek," 2020).

The sweep solidified Rogen's reputation not just as a comedic performer but as a creative powerhouse in writing, directing, and producing. "The Studio" also elevated his stature in Hollywood as one of the few talents capable of commanding success both in front of and behind the camera.

Cannabis

In 2019, Seth Rogen and longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg officially entered the cannabis business with the launch of Houseplant, a lifestyle and cannabis brand focused on premium products and design-forward accessories. The company began by selling curated strains and specialty goods in Canada following nationwide legalization, but quickly expanded into the U.S. market.

Rogen, an outspoken cannabis advocate for most of his career, positioned Houseplant as more than just a dispensary label. The brand pairs its high-quality flower with custom-made home goods such as ashtrays, lighters, vinyl collections, and ceramics designed by Rogen himself. Its unique blend of stoner culture and mid-century modern style helped it stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Houseplant quickly became one of the most recognizable celebrity cannabis brands. Within its first year in California, products regularly sold out on launch days, crashing the company's website due to overwhelming demand. Rogen often uses his social media presence to promote the brand and share his personal passion for cannabis, emphasizing responsible use and creativity. By the mid-2020s, Houseplant had grown into a multimillion-dollar venture with wide distribution in Canada and the U.S., cementing Rogen's place as one of the most successful celebrity entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry.

Personal Life

Seth Rogen met writer and actress Lauren Miller in 2004 while he was working on "Da Ali G Show." The two began dating shortly afterward, and their relationship became one of the most enduring partnerships in Hollywood comedy. They married in 2011 in Sonoma County, California, in a ceremony attended by many of Rogen's collaborators and friends from the comedy world.

Together, Rogen and Miller have been active in philanthropy, particularly through their nonprofit Hilarity for Charity (HFC), which they co-founded in 2012 to raise awareness and support for families affected by Alzheimer's disease. The cause is deeply personal to Miller, whose mother was diagnosed at a young age, and Rogen has become a prominent advocate for increased Alzheimer's research funding, even testifying before Congress in 2014.

Real Estate

In 2006, Seth paid $1.65 million for a home in West Hollywood, California. He and Lauren listed this home for sale in October 2020 for $2.125 million. They accepted $2.16 million a month later.

In 2012, Seth paid $1.1 million for another home in West Hollywood. He put this home on the market in early 2020 for $1.7 million. Around the same time he listed that home, Seth bought a different home in the same neighborhood for $1.9 million. It's believed that this home is for a family member because Seth and Lauren own a sprawling property not far away in the Hollywood Hills.

Pieced together over several transactions, Seth and Lauren have spent $11 million on what is now an 8+ acre compound in the Hollywood Hills. They acquired the first part of their Hollywood Hills compound in December 2014 for $8 million. This first purchase brought Seth an impressive house with tennis courts, a pool, guest homes, and more, spanning just over seven acres. In July 2020, they spent $3 million for a contiguous one-acre property. It is technically six lots.
