Bryan Cranston Net Worth 2014 – 2015: $36 Million
Bryan Cranston gave his career a twist in the moment he decided to accept the role of Walter White in AMC’s hit tv show “Breaking Bad”. In less than 5 years he went from being a “good” actor to becoming a legend, as well as an all time acting great.
Cranston’s most popular character in television before “Walter White” was “Hal”, who was the main father figure in another popular tv show called “Malcom in the Middle”, which I’m sure you all know and have seen at least once in your lifetime. The sitcom did bring Cranston critical acclaim, but his achievements during this period of his life would seem like nothing after becoming “Heisenberg” in AMC’s Breaking Bad.
If you haven’t seen the show, then you’re missing on one of the greatest things ever played on TV, I mean, I absolutely guarantee you that the series will get you hooked right from day one. The plot is so simple, yet so complex and dark at the same time that you will have no choice but give in to its magic, you will feel identified with at least one of the characters and you will want to watch as many episodes as you can non-stop. Cranston’s role was so good in this show that he was able to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for three consecutive times, something that no one has ever been able to do before, except for Bill Cosby back in the 60s of course.
But we are not here to talk about Bryan’s acting achievements, we are here to talk about his money, how he made it, how he spends it and how much he has of it. Cranston’s fortune come from acting, according to the Business Insider, Bryan went on to have a salary of $225,000 per episode, a salary that brought him incredibly high earnings for the last couple of years, on the other hand, Aaron Paul who played the role of “Jesse Pinkman” had a salary of $150,000 dollars per episode, which means that AMC does pay well after all.
But, how much is Bryan Cranston really worth? According to several magazines and online media outlets, Cranston has an estimated net worth of $30 million, however, after making our calculations and taking into account his most recent work we have come to the conclusion that he’s worth $36 million dollars approximately.
