Glen Powell Net Worth: How Twisters, Chad Powers and Smash Kitchen Add Up

Glen Powell’s net worth is estimated at $18 million as of October 2026, built on a run of hits that began with Top Gun: Maverick in 2022 and continued through Anyone But You, Hit Man and Twisters. Since then he has added a hit Hulu series he co-created, a production company with a Universal first-look deal and a stake in Smash Kitchen, the organic condiment brand he co-founded in 2025.

Published estimates for Powell range from $7 million to $20 million, mostly because his pay is rarely reported and older figures were written before his biggest paydays. Only two numbers are on the record: a reported $5 million for Anyone But You and a Forbes estimate of $10 million up front for his 2025 projects. The Radar Readout below shows how we get from those figures to our estimate, and how wide the uncertainty is.

Glen Powell Net Worth at a Glance

How Glen Powell’s $18 Million Net Worth Is Built

Because Powell has no Forbes profile or public filings, this is a modeled estimate. We start with what he likely kept from his work up to 2023, then add each later lane at roughly half of the pay involved, which allows for agent, manager and legal commissions plus income tax.

The widest lane is Smash Kitchen. Powell’s ownership share has not been disclosed, so we value it cautiously. If the brand keeps growing at the pace Celebrity Net Worth describes, his stake could end up worth more than his film fees, which is why our range runs as high as $30 million.

Top Gun: Maverick and the Breakout

Before Top Gun: Maverick, Powell worked mostly in supporting parts on modest pay. He has said he earned about $35,000 for Hidden Figures, a film whose cast went on to win the Screen Actors Guild award for outstanding performance by a cast. Playing naval aviator Jake “Hangman” Seresin in Top Gun: Maverick, released in May 2022, gave him the role Wikipedia describes as his breakout. The film grossed about $1.5 billion worldwide.

His pay for Top Gun: Maverick has never been confirmed. Some sites repeat figures ranging from $500,000 to $1 million or more, but none of them cite a primary source, so we treat that fee as unknown. The same year he starred in and executive produced Devotion, a film that lost money at the box office.

Anyone But You and Hit Man: From Supporting Player to Lead

Anyone But You, the romantic comedy he made with Sydney Sweeney, opened in the United States on December 22, 2023. Made for about $25 million, it became a sleeper hit and grossed $220 million worldwide. Cosmopolitan, citing Variety, reported that Powell was paid $5 million for the film, the clearest fee on his record.

Hit Man was a different kind of win. Powell co-wrote and produced the film as well as starring in it, and after its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in September 2023, Netflix bought it for $20 million at the Toronto International Film Festival, the largest film deal of that festival. It reached Netflix on June 7, 2024. The $20 million went to the film’s backers, not to Powell personally, and his share as a writer and producer has not been reported. The role earned him a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a musical or comedy and a Writers Guild nomination for the screenplay.

Twisters and The Running Man: The Blockbuster Paydays

Twisters, released in the United States by Universal on July 19, 2024, made Powell the lead of a summer tentpole. The film, with a budget of about $155 million, grossed $372.3 million worldwide. His salary for Twisters was not disclosed, so we model his 2024 pay as a range rather than a single number.

The Running Man, directed by Edgar Wright and released by Paramount on November 14, 2025, was a setback. The film cost about $110 million to make and grossed roughly $69 million worldwide. Forbes, in its list of the highest-paid actors of 2025, named Powell as an emerging star who earned about $10 million up front for his 2025 projects, while noting that he had yet to prove he could carry films at the box office consistently. Up-front pay is paid whether a film hits or misses, so the flop did not dent what he earned that year.

He did not make the Forbes top 20 for 2025, where the cutoff was $19 million after representation fees, which puts his 2025 earnings well below the top tier of film stars.

Chad Powers and Barnstorm: Owning More of the Work

Powell co-created the Hulu comedy Chad Powers with Michael Waldron, stars in it as Russ Holliday, a former college quarterback who disguises himself as Chad Powers, and serves as an executive producer. The show premiered on September 30, 2025, was renewed in December 2025 and returned for a second season on September 3, 2026. The role brought him a second Golden Globe nomination, this time for best actor in a television comedy. Creator and producer credits typically pay on top of an acting fee, though Hulu has not disclosed his deal.

In January 2025 he launched Barnstorm, a production company with a first-look film deal at Universal Pictures, run with producing partner Dan Cohen. Barnstorm’s slate includes How to Make a Killing (2026), The Comeback King with director Judd Apatow, and The Death Roll, a crocodile thriller script that Lionsgate acquired in March 2026 for the company to produce. In 2026 he also voices Fox McCloud in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. CinemaCon named him its Star of the Year in 2025.

Smash Kitchen and Other Business

Powell co-founded Smash Kitchen with Sean Kane, the company’s president, and Sameer Mehta. The organic condiment line launched in April 2025 exclusively at Walmart with eight products, including ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and barbecue sauces, priced under $5. It added cooking oils in October 2025 and kettle chips at Walmart in February 2026, its first move into snack foods.

Celebrity Net Worth reports that Smash Kitchen reached about $10 million in revenue in its first six months and was on track for $100 million a year within a year of launch, and that it signed a deal to supply inflight condiments to American Airlines. Those revenue figures are not audited and Powell’s stake is private, so we include Smash Kitchen at a modest central value with a wide upper range. Koimoi also lists brand ties with Brioni, Omega and Caliwater, though no deal values have been published.

In 2024 Powell moved from Los Angeles back to his hometown of Austin, Texas. Celebrity Net Worth reports he paid about $4 million for a home in the city’s Barton Creek neighborhood.

Why Other Sites Say $20 Million

Our central figure sits just below the $20 million that Celebrity Net Worth and Koimoi publish. The difference comes from taxes and commissions: about $15 million in reported fees from Anyone But You and his 2025 projects turns into roughly $7.5 million kept. If Smash Kitchen is as valuable as its reported sales suggest, the $20 million figure could prove conservative.
