Pete Davidson’s net worth has been steadily increasing since making his exit from Saturday Night Live. With various roles in movies and TV shows, along with a successful stand-up career, Davidson has proven that he’s a growing powerhouse in Hollywood.
How Much Did Pete Davidson Make At SNL?
Pete Davidson left Saturday Night Live following season 47 after a rather long stint with the show, which started back in 2014.
According to Cosmopolitan, Davidson was earning $7,000 per episode during the first 21 episodes of SNL that he appeared on, or around $147,000 for his first full season and the next four seasons that followed. However, after five seasons, SNL stars get a big pay bump to $315,000 for a 21-episode season. Pete was likely considered a huge star for the show which could mean an even bigger bump in pay to $25,000 per episode or $500,000 per year.
Based on those numbers, it’s safe to assume Davidson earned between $1.5 million and $2 million for his eight-season run.
How Much Did Pete Davidson Make For Bupkis?

The series was created for the Peacock TV streaming service and co-stars Edie Falco and Joe Pesci. The first season included eight episodes with Pete being paid a rumored $500,000 per episode or $4 million in total.
Bupkis has already been renewed for a second season which could mean another $4 million estimated payday for Davidson.
Pete Davidson’s Personal Real Estate Holdings
In 2016 Davidson reportedly paid $1.3 million for a State Island home. The home was purchased for his mom with Davidson living in the home’s fully furnished basement.
In 2020 Davidson purchased a $1.2 million condominium which he promptly sold two years later for $1.3 million after deciding to move to Brooklyn. The Brooklyn apartment he moved into came at a cost of $30,000 or $360,000 per year.
Other Earnings
Pete Davidson recently joined with Mark Ronson, Nicholas Brause, and several other celebrities to fund the Pebble Bar in Manhattan. The location is a three-story bar and restaurant inside Rockefeller Center.
Davidson has also worked on various endorsements, most notably the company Manscaped which makes personal grooming products for men. He also took part in a Moose Knuckles campaign, where he was featured alongside Emily Ratajkowski and Adwoa Aboah. Davidson also endorsed Calvin Klein in a spot with rapper Machine Gun Kelly. And we can’t forget his work with Smartwater which surely earned him a hefty paycheck.
Further, Davidson and his former SNL co-star Colin Jost have also purchased a decommissioned Staten Island ferry for $280K. The pair plan on turning the ferry into a floating comedy club, although no timeline has been given for finalizing the project.
It’s unclear how much he has earned or stands to earn from his business ventures and endorsements but given his a-list stature those businesses and partnerships are likely to bring in a hefty sum of additional cash.
Pete Davidson’s net worth has a long way to go before he catches up to Hollywood’s biggest stars but it’s hard to bet against Davidson given how much he appears to be on a hot streak in Hollywood and how much people both in and out of his industry seem to really enjoy his brand of acting and humor.
