Net worth 2024
$3.5 million.
As of December 2024, it’s estimated that Kevin Summan has a net worth of about $3.5 million. He has earned most of his money through multiple venues, primarily through acting and some from writing and other such entertainment productions. Below is a list detailing where I believe he can receive the money, and how:
1. TV Shows
- The Big Bang Theory: Sussman was a great Stuart Bloom, particularly as he developed into a series regular during the latter seasons. Guest stars working on these kinds of shows normally receive paychecks of several thousand dollars an episode for their initial appearance. At the time he entered as a series regular, he likely could have seen up to $50,000 per episode in his later seasons, although these figures vary.
- Ugly Betty: Playing Walter, a relatively early significant role, Kevin probably received industry-standard rates for guest spots on network TV, which can vary anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 an episode depending on the details of his contract and the show’s budget.
2. Film Appearances
Kevin has also appeared in movies such as Almost Famous (2000), Burn After Reading (2008), and Killers (2010). These are one-time pay, probably in the tens of thousands per film.
Supporting roles in major motion pictures can earn around $20,000 to $50,000 per appearance, depending on screen time and the film’s budget.
3. Commercial Work
Before and during his television success, Sussman appeared in various commercials, usually playing geeky or awkward characters, which became his signature. Depending on the scope of the ad campaign, he could earn anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 per commercial, with residuals if they were aired frequently.
4. Screenwriting and Content Creation
Co-writer of two television comedies during his acting tenure on The Big Bang Theory with fellow cast member John Ross Bowie. Not sure if these were produced or screened broadly, but sales or optioning of scripts or pitches can yield from several thousand dollars to as high as $100,000 plus, depending on the network and development level.
5. Residuals and Royalties
As an actor on a syndicated show like The Big Bang Theory, Sussman would be earning residual income each time the show is rebroadcast on networks or online. Residuals for actors in recurring roles can vary greatly, but he is collecting residual income on these re-runs over time, which can provide a steady, if much smaller, income stream.
6. Voice Work and Guest Appearances
Less heralded are the many voice-over recognizable character actors, like Sussman, who pad their extra checks with additional shows, web series, and even podcasts. Guest shots are often a few thousand dollars an episode or per project.
