Jon Hamm net worth: Here's how much ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ star really makes
For several years, beginning with the successful reception of the debut season of 'Mad Men', Jon Hamm has been one of the most charismatic faces of prestige television. The 55-year-old star is a living example of the Hollywood dream come true, hailing from a middle-class upbringing in Missouri and struggling to make ends meet during his initial years. However, with the outstanding success of 'Mad Men,' Hamm has established himself not only as a dependable actor but also as a wealthy star. Ahead of the release of Season 2 of 'Your Friends and Neighbors' Season 2, fans have shown a keen interest in the net worth of Hamm.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hamm has a net worth of $45 million. Throughout his time working on 'Mad Men', Hamm received a consistently increasing salary. The peak was $275,000 per episode, bringing his season's earnings to around $4 million. It has also been estimated that Hamm has earned between $15 and $25 million over the last five years. Regarding his assets, Hamm previously lived in a penthouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side with his former partner and screenwriter, Jennifer Westfeldt. After their breakup, the penthouse was rented at $15,000 per month in 2017. Hamm has also spent $3.375 million to purchase a plush four-bedroom villa in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood.
Despite earning enormous riches, Hamm has consistently maintained a down-to-earth approach to all matters financial. In an interview with Wealthsimple magazine, he had reflected, "Money, for me, is a means to an end: to pay your bills and eat, I’ve never been driven by money — there are more important things in life. But not having money can be a hindrance — it can make life hard, and you spend time worrying about not having it." However, this does not mean that Hamm does not appreciate his success.
Hamm also opened up about his struggling years on The Hollywood Reporter, "At a certain point, I had owed my landlord…in LA about seven or eight months’ worth of back rent that I somehow talked her into being fine with. Like, ‘Yeah, I’ll get it to you eventually. Of course I’m good for it." 'Your Friends and Neighbors' season 2 reunites Hamm with Olivia Munn and Amanda Peet, with the introduction of a new character played by James Marsden to boot. The Apple TV show is created by Jonathan Tropper and is scheduled to arrive on Friday.
