Jason Sudeikis is often recognized for his acting and comedic career, which kicked off as a writer ofSNL(Saturday Night Live) in 2003. Soon after that, he worked hard to create a portfolio that now carries some big titles under his name. Between his time as anSNLmember and ever-growing filmography after featuring inTed Lasso, he has amassed an impressive net worth.
In his career graph, the Emmy Award-winning star has also featured in movies likeHorrible Bossesand a few parts of shows like30 Rock. However, Sudeikis didn’t achieve this success overnight. He had to go through a lot of struggles. But now that he has such an amazing work resume, let’s take a look at his net worth and his flow of income.
What is Jason Sudeikis’ Net Worth?
Jason Sudeikis has already accumulated an estimated net worth of $20 million, as perJust Jared. And according to reports, this massive turnover of his net worth has happened after he starred in the seriesTed Lasso. Talking about the journey towards his success so far, the actor said in an interview withThe Guardian,
I didn’t realise my folks were worried about me when I was taking improv classes in my 20s. But when I got the job writing at SNL, now they could tell their friends, ‘Oh, our son writes on SNL. Now it’s something.’
Jason Sudeikishas now earned his due credit after portraying a role like Ted Lasso, and we feel he will do amazing things in his future acting career. The comedian has also revealed earlier that he’s ready to take up new characters in an interview withGQ.
How much did Jason Sudeikis earn fromTed Lasso?
Ted Lassois a series revolving around an American coach who gets hired for a British soccer team, and how he handles every challenge is all about the drama. It is based on an NBC Sports short campaign from 2013 starring Sudeikis. It was later developed by the star alongside Bill Lawrence, Hunt, and writer Joe Kelly. As per sources stated inThe Hollywood Reporter, Sudeikis earned between $250,000 and $400,000 per episode during the first two seasons of the show.
The first season had 10 episodes, while the second season of the show had 12 episodes, so that means the actor accumulated $8.8 million. However, in the third season, Sudeikis had already closed the deal at $1 million per episode. This means he earned around $12 million from the last season. However, according to the outlet, the actor received this paycheck because it“includes creator fees and compensation for his role as the show’s head writer and exec producer.”

Talking about the experience in an interview withThe Guardian, Sudeikis said,
That was one thing we spoke about on our final day of filming. The show may be over, but what we learned here… It’s not like Vegas: what happened here, stays here. No, what happened here, take it, take it to your village, take it to your family, take it to your next project. For real. Aren’t funerals not always to celebrate the dead, but also to remember you’re alive?
However, there were rumours about the show ending with a third season, and the fans thought the show wrapped up. But, following therecent reports, Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt, has confirmed that the series is being written for a fourth seasonand is now filming.
Ahead ofTed LassoSeason 4, as perMSN, the insider shared the news that“Jason is going to be TV’s highest paid actor when this show finally comes back on the air, and he should be taking home around $3 million per episode.”
If this is true, Sudeikis, who was already ruling the television landscape with his stellar vision and acting, will now be crowned as the king of Apple TV+.

Jason Sudeikis’s hypothetical take-home pay for the upcoming season ofTed Lassocould reach an impressive $30 million, based on a rumoured salary of $3 million per episode for a supposed 10-episode season (if the show follows Season 1 footsteps), making his $20 million net worth rise to another level.
Jason Sudeikis’ earnings fromSNL
Although apart from hisTed Lassoinfo, there’s nothing much out in the public about Jason Sudeikis. In 2003, Sudeikis joined the popular comedy sketchSaturday Night Liveas a writer. However, by 2005, he became one of the featured players and by 2006 he was a permanent cast member.
When it comes to assuming the actor’s salary during his tenure inSNL, it’s quite tough because they give pre-determined paychecks to members depending on how many years they are featuring. This is the reason why Sudeikis’ first year’s salary cannot be determined when he was only a writer. However, as soon as he debuted in the sketches, he received his first salary as a cast member which was $7,000 per episode, or $147,000 per season, according to a report inCosmopolitan.

In the second season, the members got a raise of $8,000 per episode which comes out to $168,000 per season. For their fifth anniversary,SNLmembers’ paychecks were further bumped to $15,000 per episode (or $315,000 per season). But in the current payscale, NBC’sSNLmembers earn $25,000 per episode i.e., $525,000 per year. As the paychecks depend on how many years a cast member has been a part of the comedy sketch, Sudeikis has probably earned between $2.5 million to $3.4 million for the nine seasons he featured in it till 2013.
What about Jason Sudeikis’ brand endorsements?
In 2012, Jason Sudeikis secured a brand deal with Applebee’s, lending his voice for a series of commercials. This agreement notably boosted his net worth at the time. Then, in 2013, he first brought the now-iconic character of Ted Lasso to life for a promotional campaign for NBC Sports’ Premier League coverage. While this campaign laid the base for the highly successful show, the exact payment he received for these initial commercials has not been publicly disclosed.

As per reports of 2021, the ex-couple still owns the property. However, after they bought theBrooklyn homein 2015, they listed their previous NYC house for sale. Later, it was sold for $3.8 million.

Jason Sudeikis’ personal life and separation from Olivia Wilde
Jason Sudeikis was previously married to screenwriter Kay Cannon. They had tied the knot in 2004 but in 2008, they parted ways and by 2010 their divorce was finalized. However, three years later, the actor announced his engagement with Olivia Wilde. They share two kids together, Otis and Daisy.
But, seven years into their relationship, the couple broke off their engagement.Reportedly, they parted ways because of the alleged rumors about Wilde’s affair with singer-actorHarry Styles. Well, technically, Wilde and Sudeikis never got married, so no marriage is equal to no divorce and no divorce settlement. Even then the couple involved the lawyers in their separation because of custody management.
In April 2023, Olivia Wilde in legal filings claimed that Sudeikis was yet to pay for child support. As perThe Blast, her documents read,
Jason is not currently paying child support to me, despite my requests through counsel that we agree upon an interim support amount to avoid further litigation in this matter… While Jason and I have been splitting certain expenses for the children, such as their school tuition, I have been bearing 100% of the costs of the children’s care when they are with me, including, but not limited to, their food, clothing, childcare, extracurricular activities, and transportation costs.
Along with this, Olivia Wilde further requested Sudeikis to pay $500 thousand for her legal and accounting fees as“… not only due to him being in a significantly superior position than me financially, but because the vast majority of the fees I have incurred have been due to Jason and his counsel’s egregious, unnecessary, and aggressive conduct.”

In the documents, Olivia Wilde filed that her estimated total assets stand at $10 million and she believes that Jason Sudeikis is wealthier than her and has far greater income. So, the actor shouldn’t dispute this matter. Finally, a few months later, Sudeikis agreed to pay $27,500 monthly in their children’s support and 25% of their childcare costs.
