Seth Rogen Net Worth - Seth Rogen has been in the spotlight over the past few weeks as new developments relating to the botched release of his latest movie The Interview comes to light. The hacking of the servers of Sony Corporation by North Korea-linked 'Guardians of Peace' has uncovered many things about the 32-year-old comedian of Canadian heritage - including the fact that he admires his boss Amy Pascal for having the "balls" - or shall we say courage - to stand up to the hackers. But, for most fans, the big question is what is Seth Rogen's net worth in light of the cancellation of the release of The Interview?
Many sources peg the earnings of the Pineapple Express actor to be about $45 million. According to leaked documents from the Sony hack, Rogen got about $8.4 million for his part in The Interview. That is nearly $2 million more than what co-star James Franco got for his role. However, considering the fact that Rogen also co-wrote and co-produced the controversial movie, his fat paycheck seems befitting.
Seth Rogen's net worth was set to benefit heavily from the release of The Interview as he stood to earn more money from the sales of the movie. It is unclear how the cancelled release of the movie has affected the actor's payment agreement with Sony.
According to TMZ, Seth Rogen has since resumed work at the embattled company. The actor was seen heading to the company's studios on Thursday - despite claims that he is unhappy about the decision of Sony to shelf his project. It is unclear what new project Seth Rogen is working on.
The Interview is believed to be under attack from North Korean hackers because of the goofy portrayal of the country's leader Kim Jong Un. But Seth Rogen told Stephen Colbert that the depiction of the young leader is partly based on facts.
Sony's decision to drop all its plans for the release of The Interview has attracted criticisms from top Hollywood figures including George Clooney and Ben Stiller. Some commentators have suggested that Sony strikes back by leaking the movie to the public online. If this is done, Sony and Seth Rogens don't stand a chance to rake in some money with from sales. But the defiant release of movie would surely offset the perceived power of the hackers.
For now, fans can rest easy knowing that Seth Rogen's net worth has not suffered much from the Sony hack and subsequent plans to cancel The Interview.
