What is Rob Lowe’s Salary and Net Worth?
Rob Lowe is an American film and television actor with a $100 million net worth. A significant portion of Rob Lowe’s net worth has come from endorsements and, more importantly, real estate, in addition to his extremely successful acting career.
In October 2020, Rob sold a property in Montecito, California for $45.5 million, which is just one example of his real estate gains, which we will discuss in greater detail later in this article.
Rob Lowe began his career in the 1970s and rose to fame as a member of the “Brat Pack,” a group of young performers who starred in numerous coming-of-age films throughout the 1980s.
In the 1983 film “The Outsiders,” he portrayed Sodapop Curtis, which proved to be his breakthrough performance. Lowe continued his early success with memorable performances in the 1985 and 1986 films “St. Elmo’s Fire” and “About Last Night…”
Lowe made a successful transition to television in the 1990s, assuming the role of Sam Seaborn on the critically acclaimed series “The West Wing” (1999-2003).
His nuanced portrayal of the Deputy Communications Director earned him a nomination for a Primetime Emmy and two nominations for a Golden Globe.
Post-“West Wing,” Lowe continued to demonstrate his versatility and talent by joining the cast of the sardonic comedy series “Parks and Recreation” (2010-2015) as Chris Traeger, a character adored for his unwavering optimism and catchphrase “literally.” Simultaneously, he starred in the cable drama “Brothers & Sisters” (2007-2010).
Lowe created a name for himself as the lead actor in the biographical miniseries “Behind the Candelabra” (2013) and the crime drama “Wild Bill” (2019).
In addition, he has dabbled in reality television with “The Lowe Files” (2017), a documentary series in which he investigates unsolved mysteries with his boys, and has made notable guest appearances on “Californication” and “Fargo.”
In 2023, Rob and his son John Owen Lowe began co-starring on the Netflix show “Unstable.” Additionally, they are co-creators of the series.
In addition to acting, Lowe has added author to his list of accomplishments with the publication of two memoirs, “Stories I Only Tell My Friends” (2011) and “Love Life” (2014).
