Net Worth: $110 Million
Chris Evans’ net worth of $110 million primarily comes from his appearances in big-budget movies, mostly within the Marvel franchise. In years featuring movies within the MCU, his annual income often exceeded $30 million. While his time as Captain American has come to an end, Evans continues to command big paydays for his movie roles, and he’s also landed endorsements that have added to his wealth.
Let’s take a close look at how Chris Evans’ net worth has grown and what he’s invested in.
The Marvel Franchise Is His Biggest Moneymaker

Initially, for his debut in the role, he received $300,000, a sum that, while substantial, is modest compared to his later earnings.
His compensation for the first “Avengers” film was in the range of $2 million to $3 million, including bonuses, as reported by TheThings. This marked a noticeable increase from his initial salary.
ScreenRant notes that for Age of Ultron the leading man earned a cool $15 million.
For “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” Evans, along with co-star Chris Hemsworth, renegotiated their contracts, resulting in a substantial pay raise. They each earned a reported $20 million for each of these films, totaling $40 million for the completion of the MCU.
The lucrative deal that Evans struck significantly boosted his annual income. In 2017, his earnings were estimated at $18 million, largely due to his “Infinity War” salary. His financial success continued to grow, with him making $34 million in 2018 and $43.5 million in 2019.
Between his starring roles and his supporting roles in other MCU movies, including Thor: The Dark World and Spider-Man: Homecoming, Yahoo Finance estimates that Chris Evans’ net worth grew by $75 million to $100 million, making up a bulk of his $110 million fortune.
His MCU fortune is impressive, but it certainly lags far behind Robert Downey Jr’s net worth bump in the role of Iron Man, which reportedly earned the actor almost half a billion dollars.
Brand Endorsements

It’s not known how much the actor earned from his endorsement, but given that the MCU was in its prime, he likely took home millions from his work.
In 2021 the actor proved that he can continue to draw new sponsorships outside of his MCU days. Evans signed on to become the brand ambassador for Smart Communications, a company based out of the Philippines.
Evans is also the global brand ambassador for the smartphone brand TECNO. While the company has a long way to go before catching up to its much bigger competitors, the company did sell 5 million units in 2020 and has seen major year-over-year growth.
New Roles Are Adding To His Net Worth

In 2019, Evans starred in the Netflix thriller The Red Sea Diving Resort. The movie, in which Evans plays an Israeli Mossad Agent, likely earned him millions.
In 2020 he moved on to the Apple TV+ limited series Defending Jacob which is based on William Landy’s 2012 New York Times best-selling novel. According to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Apple TV+ paid Evans $750,000 per episode. With eight episodes in the mini-series, that would mean a $6 million payday.
In 2022, Evans starred as the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Disney movie Lightyear. With a budget of $118 million, the movie was a bit of a disappointment, bringing in $226 million worldwide. What wasn’t a disappointment for Evans was his salary for the movie, which reportedly came in at $10 million.
Also in 2022, Evans starred in another Netflix project when he starred in the Russo brothers-directed movie, The Gray Man. For that role, IMDB claims he was paid $15 million.
While Chris Evans’ net worth grew rapidly while working within the MCU universe, he has proven that his star power still commands millions per year in payouts, often topping $20 million for new roles.
Chris Evans’ Real Estate Investments
Chris Evans’ real estate portfolio isn’t huge, but his main home is an impression mansion that cost millions.
The actor’s Laurel Canyon Mansion was purchased by Evans after he landed his Captain America role. He purchased the home for $3.5 million, and it’s a stunner. The home features 4,600 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It also offers a heated pool, spa, fire pit, two fireplaces, a staff room, and a gourmet chef’s kitchen based on its listing on Redfin.
Previously, the actor owned a $1.26 million Beverly Hills Mansion, which he purchased in 2007 before offloading it in 2014 for $1.5 million. After any renovation costs and realtor fees, the actor likely lost money on the home.
Evans also owns a home in Boston, but details of that space are limited. At the same time, House Beautiful reported in 2023 that with his marriage to Alba Baptista, the couple is reportedly looking to build a new home together on the east coast. Evans is originally from Boston, so we suspect whatever he builds is going to become his primary residence.
Chris Evans’ net worth in 2023 is impressive, and his ability to continue landing roles that are well outside of the scope of his former Steve Rodgers role is impressive. With various projects reportedly in the works, we expect to be updating the actor’s net worth profile in the near future.
