The Chris Pratt net worth total of $15.8 million comes from $47.8 million in pre-tax earnings. Almost all that money comes from acting in movies like Jurassic World, The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy. Taxes and expenses chop out nearly 67% of that money since Pratt's acting career began back in 2000.
Pratt has done very little to earn money aside from acting. The 37 year old got his first acting job at the age of 21 and has stuck to that one pursuit ever since. Pratt and wife Anna Faris donated $1 million to charity in 2015, knocking the couple's net worth down some. The actor has a very small amount of producing and endorsement income but has largely left those potential earnings streams alone. Pratt's next big movie is Guardians of the Galaxy 2, due out on May 5th of 2017.

The Chris Pratt net worth sum of $15.8 million is low in the world of big celebrities. That's not surprising, since actors tend to be among the least wealthy of all superstars, with some notable exceptions. One such is Harrison Ford who's been earning money in the acting scene for fifty years. Another is Robert Downey Jr. who stars in the most lucrative franchise ever to hit the silver screen. One problem with acting in terms of mega-riches is that it lacks the massive salaries seen by sports and music stars. Another is that it largely misses out on the huge money that comes through endorsements.

The Chris Pratt net worth story has a very slow start with a steep ramp in recent years. Pratt started out acting in short films and in bit parts in TV series. His first small role came in 2000, but it wasn't until 2008 that he got first billing in a major film. That movie was Wanted, and even though it marked a big boost for Pratt it wasn't an automatic catapult into fame and riches.
The actor kept his nose to the grindstone for the next six years, landing a series of solid but non-earthshaking roles. It was the TV show Parks and Recreation that really broke Pratt into the limelight. That said, it wasn't until 2014's surprise hit Guardians of the Galaxy that Pratt really caught the public attention. Since then Pratt has hit the bullseye in a parade of major films, causing the drastic upslope in the chart seen above.
Chris Pratt Net Worth Sources
The single source of the Chris Pratt net worth figure is acting. The star really doesn't have any other income to speak of. He did dabble in producing briefly, donning the executive producer's hat for the 2012 high school wrestling documentary On the Mat. Pratt took on the job because he's a former student and wrestler at Lake Stevens High in Washington State where the documentary is set. Pratt has also earned a small amount of endorsement income, mostly from ads for the Kinect Star Wars video game he lent his voice to in 2012.
Why Make More?
Really, with an income of $50,000 to $100,000 a year in his early 20's there was no need for Pratt to go looking elsewhere for money. By the time he'd reached the age of 30 he was already a millionaire, so again he didn't exactly need extra money.
All together, Pratt has earned $47.6 million from acting since 2000, with most of that coming in more recent years. He has an average salary of $2.8 million and a 2016 salary of $14.8 million. Taxes and expenses take $39.6 million, while a big charitable donation takes another million and investments add back about a million.

Chris Pratt Net Worth from Acting: $47.6 Million Pre-Tax
Acting adds $47.6 million before taxes to the Chris Pratt net worth number. The full list of the star's acting credits is below, with estimated earnings for each role in the final column.
Exact acting earnings aren't usually disclosed to the public. To figure Pratt's earnings by role, it was necessary to start with Screen Actor's Guild pay scales and then add money based on Pratt's level of fame and known studio pay practices. For instance it's generally accepted that movie studios pay first-billed actors a small percentage of a film's box office take. Based on half a percent of gross, Pratt would have earned $3.8 million in non-base-pay money for Guardians of the Galaxy and $9.3 million for Jurassic World. We gradually scaled Pratt's base pay estimate up from $50,000 per movie in 2002 to $2 million in 2016, though it's estimated he received a flat $12 million to appear in the space romance Passengers in 2016.
Jurassic Wealth
Pratt's second most lucrative film to date is the 2015 dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic World. That movie grossed an astounding $1.67 billion worldwide. Even at just a half percent of the total gross, Pratt would have earned an $8.3 million bonus for appearing in the film. That's on top of his estimated $1 million in base pay.

Charity and Chris Pratt Net Worth
Pratt and his wife Anna Faris gave $1 million to charity in 2015. The big donation was a gift to help provide eyeglasses to needy children. The couple's son Jack was born with visual impairment. Pratt and his wife Anna apparently wanted to help other children like him who don't have the means to buy proper eyeglasses. While the gift knocks Pratt's net worth down some, there's no doubt the money was well spent.
