How rich is Tim Allen?

The role of Tim Taylor in the US TV format “Listen who’s hammering” made Tim Allen world famous. Even today, the repeats of the former successful series still run up and down around the world. He was able to prove early on that Tim is a real comedian. Whether on his stand-up tour or the television series “Last Man Standing,” which has been on the US broadcaster CBS since 2011. His comedic talent continues to help keep the star’s bank account well stocked. Tim Allen ‘s estimated net worth is $100 million .

Many successes as an actor and series star

It was far from always foreseeable that the father of two daughters would one day earn so well. After all, the American comes from a rather modest background. He eventually grew up with eight siblings. The fact that his father died in a traffic accident when Tim was just eleven years old must have had an equally strong influence on his career. Because with such a sad fate, Tim Allen seems to be very concerned to give his audience as much joy as possible. This is how Tim Allen amuses the audience in many films and series. Last Man Standing was a big hit. The actor collects  a fee of 202,000 euros per series episode .

He was also able to achieve this goal in his various roles for Disney . He has acted in the Santa Clause film series as well as voicing Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story. That not every film by the star has become a smash hit hasn’t stopped the artist from continuing on. While “Galaxy Quest” and “From the Jungle to the Jungle” were extremely popular, “Joe Jedermann” was one of Allen’s flops. Very few of his fans outside of the United States are likely to know that Tim Allen sided with Donald Trump in the 2016 election campaign for the US presidency . Many of them certainly wouldn’t be too happy about their star’s political leanings.

Tim Allen: A fortune but not a clean man?

Although Tim Allen has already received more than 20 awards and has been nominated for several dozen awards, this cannot hide the fact that the star also has a darker side. That Tim Allen is divorced is not unusual in Hollywood. However, the actor had already been in prison for 28 months. He was caught with 650 grams of cocaine at an international airport in October 1978been. Certainly not a trivial offense, since Tim Allen could easily have been sentenced to life imprisonment. In the end, however, it only amounted to a sentence of seven years in prison, although Tim was released earlier on probation for good behavior. The mild punishment was not due to a supposed star bonus. Rather, the actor was willing to provide authorities with details about several drug dealers, which was considered a mitigating circumstance. At that time there were no assets that the authorities could draw on.

It wasn’t until he was released from prison that his career really took off. Today’s world star initially made his way as a stand-up comedian at Detroit Comedy Castle. Since this show could also be seen on TV, the Disney group became aware of him. The cornerstone for the sitcom “Listen, who’s hammering” was thus laid. The lead actor received over a million US dollars for each episode of the last (eighth) season of the series. This not only shows how popular the format was. Rather, his current wealth is also based on the income of that time.
