Net worth 2025

$1.5 million

As of December 2025, it’s estimated that Raymond Ablack has a net worth of about $1.5 million. From Degrassi fame to Netflix success stories like Ginny & Georgia and Maid, he’s carved out a career that’s equal parts strategic and soulful. But where does he actually make his money, and how much does he earn from each project?

Let’s break it down.

1. Netflix Roles Are His Biggest Paycheck

Netflix has been a game-changer for Raymond—and not just in terms of visibility. It’s his most lucrative gig yet.

➤ Ginny & Georgia

Raymond plays Joe, the kind, coffee-brewing café owner with a romantic subplot fans can’t get enough of. The show’s popularity and his recurring role make it a solid income stream.

Estimated per-episode earnings: $20,000 – $30,000
Total per season: $200,000 – $250,000

Not bad for someone whose scenes often steal the show.

➤ Maid

As Nate, Raymond took on a more emotional, layered character. The limited series received critical acclaim, and while his screen time was shorter, it still paid well.

Estimated earnings for the series: $50,000 – $100,000

➤ Other appearances (Orphan Black, Narcos, Shadowhunters)

These roles were smaller but consistent, each contributing $5,000 – $30,000 per episode, depending on production budgets.

2. Early TV Roles Built the Foundation

➤ Degrassi: The Next Generation (2007–2011)

Raymond starred as Sav Bhandari for over 100 episodes—his true breakout.

Estimated per-episode earnings: $2,000 – $3,000
Total from series: $250,000 – $300,000

While Canadian teen dramas don’t pay huge, they do build credibility. Degrassi opened the doors for everything that followed.

3. Indie Films, Web Series & Creative Projects

➤ Teenagers (2014–2017)

This award-winning web series saw Raymond in a raw, compelling role. Indie productions don’t always pay much, but they pay off in exposure.

Estimated earnings: $5,000 – $20,000
Awards won: Indie Series Award for Best Supporting Actor

➤ Personal Projects

Raymond has produced, directed, or acted in sketches and shorts like Inside the Actors Cult and Cookie Biscuits Comedy. These aren’t money-makers in the traditional sense, but they reflect his creative chops—and may lead to bigger roles behind the scenes.

4. Stand-Up Comedy & Improv

Raymond trained in improv and stand-up at The Second City Toronto and still performs in local shows when possible.

Estimated annual income: $5,000 – $20,000

These gigs are more about passion than profit, but they do help strengthen his connection with fans and keep his performance skills razor-sharp.

5. Side Passions: Hockey, Music, and Food

Raymond’s not all scripts and lights—he’s a multi-hyphenate artist with a love for other things too.

Hockey: He played competitively for 14 years as a goalie and still hits the ice recreationally.
Music & Band: He plays in a band with castmates and friends—more of a hobby, but potentially a future monetization opportunity.
Cooking: A self-proclaimed foodie, Raymond enjoys cooking and sees it as a creative expression. Social content or a cooking show, maybe?

Though these don’t add directly to his net worth (yet), they round out his public image and fan engagement.

6. Social Media & Brand Partnerships

Raymond has a strong and growing social presence—particularly on Instagram.

Followers: Over 500K
Estimated brand deal value: $1,000 – $5,000 per post (if monetized)

While he’s not a heavy influencer, he’s in a great position to land brand partnerships, especially in lifestyle, entertainment, or even wellness niches.
