Adam Sandler Net Worth - For the second year running, Adam Sandler has been named the most overpaid Hollywood actor by Forbes. So what does Adam Sandler's net worth add up to?
Well, according to multiple sources, the Blended actor has about $300 million.
Very few Hollywood comedians have enjoyed the commercial success that Adam Sandler has since bursting into the scene as part of the cast of Saturday Night Live in the nineties. The Brooklyn-born actor has gone on to star in many high grossing movies and even set up his own production company.
But the high flying career of Sandler seems to be finally taking a dip. Some of the hacked emails from the executives of Sony Corporation, which were published earlier in the month, show that he had problems with them over the fee he was asking to star in a movie.
The 43-year-old, who critics say does not enjoy the same success he did in his younger years, reportedly asked for about $200 million from Sony to be in the movie.
This is apparently one of reasons why Adam Sandler is being renamed the most overpaid actor of the year. According to Forbes, Sandler is estimated to attract a return of $3.20 for every $1 paid to him.
While Sandler's latest movies have not done so well, his impressive track record is one of the reasons that he continues to be paid a lot.
Although the 20-million-a-movie actor has been accused of following the same format in all his films, it is clear there are still a lot of people who love his works nonetheless. The Netflix deal with Sandler's Happy Madison shows that his movies are in demand by viewers. Reports indicate that the decision by Netflix to sign a deal with as Sandler to produce four movies was informed by their in-house metrics, which apparently shows that his movies are in-demand.
Adam Sandler's net worth reflects the fact that he has been one of the most overpaid actors in Hollywood, but that is because he is one of the most in-demand comedians today.
