Summary

  • Christopher Mintz-Plasse's net worth is around $8 million, gained from various acting roles since his debut in Superbad.
  • Mintz-Plasse has successfully diversified his career with voice acting in films like How to Train Your Dragon and Trolls.
  • He has been part of at least three bands, currently playing with Colorvision, showcasing his musical talents alongside acting.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse has been working since 2007, when he was just a teenager, and in those years, he has managed to amass an impressive net worth. Comedy movies like Superbad only come around once every few years, so when a genre-defining one like that drops, everyone in it suddenly becomes a massive Hollywood star. That's exactly what happened to Mintz-Plasse, who made his acting and film debut as Superbad's Fogell, aka "McLovin". It's a role that could have typecast him had he not managed to branch out into other movies and shows.

Since Superbad, Mintz-Plasse has carved out a respectable career, notably appearing in the Kick-Ass and Neighbors franchises, and unexpectedly creating a Mintz-Plasse and Chloë Grace Moretz canon while he was at it. His later career has seen him successfully pivot into voice acting with performances in How to Train Your Dragon and Trolls. Mintz-Plasse got engaged to concert photographer Britt Bowman in December 2022 (via People), and his Instagram posts suggest they are not yet married, though clearly planning on it.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse's Net Worth

Mintz-Plasse Is Worth Around $8 Million

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Christopher Mintz-Plasse has around $8 million to his name. This significant net worth can't all be attributed to the smash hit Superbad, considering Mintz-Plasse was 17 at the time of filming and likely paid very little as unknown. Instead, this fortune likely comes from his surprisingly deep bench of acting roles. It might be easy to assume Mintz-Plasse has not been working much since Superbad, as he has never had a role that's surpassed that cultural behemoth, but the fact is, Mintz-Plasse has been consistently acting since 2007.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse was a minor on the set of Superbad , meaning his mother had to be on set as well during his hilarious, but awkward, sex scene with Nicola (Aviva Farber).

Kick-Ass, Neighbors, A Promising Young Woman, Honor Society, and Pitch Perfect are just a few of the films he's appeared in over the years, not to mention his voice roles in Trolls and How to Train Your Dragon have led to steady television work in spin-offs. Mintz-Plasse also plays in a band and has for many years. While that may not be a cash cow, the fact he's able to do it on the side and still sit courtside for the NBA finals suggests he has money to spend.
