Net worth 2024
$12 million
As of December 2024, it’s estimated that Matthew Gray Gubler has a net worth of about $12 million. He has made this fortune from acting, directing, modeling, and art. Here’s a breakdown of the origins of his income and how much he has made from different sources:
1. Acting – Primary Source
- Criminal Minds (2005–2020): Gubler is particularly famous for playing Dr. Spencer Reid in the show Criminal Minds, a 15-season run show, while salary from the roles increased and started at around $40,000 per episode to around $150,000 per episode during the last couple of seasons. With more than 300 episodes, the amount he garnered for this alone might be millions. According to estimates, Gubler might have taken home about $10-12 million from Criminal Minds.
- Films: He has acted in several films, among them The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), 500 Days of Summer (2009), and Life After Beth (2014). Though the movies he has acted in may not raise him much money like his acting career in television, they all contribute to his net worth.
2. Director
Gubler also works behind the camera as a director on Criminal Minds, adding another level of pay to his acting dollars. His directing fees are not something about which numbers have been disclosed, but to television directors who can bring home the old-school $40,000-$100,000 per episode, they certainly added to the pile.
3. Modeling
Before modeling, Gubler worked as a model for the likes of Marc Jacobs, Burberry, and Tommy Hilfiger. The top male models earned between $5,000 to $10,000 for each day of work at that time.
Although modeling was not his original or lone profession, it provided him with a steady income in his early days and probably amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars in his wallet.
4. Art Sales
Gubler is also a good visual artist. His peculiar watercolor paintings and illustrations are in demand. He sells much of his artwork online and through galleries. Original pieces and prints may start at $100 and go up to thousands of dollars for a specific piece. Although this is more of a hobby, his sales of art do increase his wealth, potentially adding a few hundred thousand dollars over time.
5. Book Sales
In 2019, Gubler published a children’s book titled Rumple Buttercup: A Story of Bananas, Belonging, and Being Yourself, which catapulted the author to the bestseller list. While figures for money earned are not known, bestseller status likely brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties and sales.
6. Voice Acting
Gubler provided the voice of Simon in the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise of films, beginning in 2007. The films were commercial blockbusters, and sources claimed Gubler was paid several hundred thousand dollars per film. So for four movies in the franchise, his take for voice work was likely easily into the low millions.
