There is no denying that Ashton Kutcher turned out to be one of the hottest stars since his acting debut in 1998. When Kutcher started acting in the hit sitcom That 70’s Show, he basically launched himself into stardom. More than twenty years after the beginning of his career, what do you think is his net worth now? Here are a few things that we should know about the actor, model, producer, and entrepreneur’s career and net worth.
He was born on February 7, 1978 as Christopher Ashton Kutcher. He has an older sister and a fraternal twin brother named Michael. Ashton was raised in Iowa in a very conservative Catholic family. After graduating high school, he enrolled in the University of Iowa in 1998.
During his stay in the university he was scouted by a headhunter to be a model and joined the “Fresh Faces of Iowa” modeling competition. He placed first and won a trip to New York for the International Modeling and Talent Convention. He shortly returned to Iowa and then finally left for Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.
After being given the opportunity to model and act through the competitions he joined, he signed with Next, a modeling agency, and appeared in commercials for Calvin Klein. He also modeled in Paris and Milan.
We can’t really say if it’s luck or if Kutcher is really just that good looking, but right after his modeling stints, he immediately moved to Los Angeles just after his first audition because he was casted for the role of Michael Kelso in the late 90s TV sitcom, That 70’s Show. The sitcom ran for 8 years!
Along with his main role in That 70’s Show, Kutcher also had other projects. He starred in a number of films such as Dude, Where's My Car? (2000), Just Married (2003), and Guess Who (2005). He also became part of MTV where he hosted his own show Punk’d where tricks and pranks are made on celebrities and are recorded through hidden cameras.
Since then, success has always followed Ashton Kutcher and his career continued to prosper with project after project.
Now even though Kutcher already found his success in the modeling and entertainment industry, he still made sure that he had backups. Kutcher has invested in multiple high tech startup companies. He is also the co-founder of A-Grade Investments. Initially, he and his co-founders invested $30 million of their own money, but in 2016, the company was said to now have a value of $236 million according to Forbes.
He also invested in other businesses like restaurants and shoes.
If we add up all his experiences along with all the earnings that he has had since he started acting more than 20 years ago, we can safely say that Ashton Kutcher has already built a good net worth. We also shouldn’t forget that he also is a business and tech-savvy person that has invested in multiple startups that already blew up so that surely adds to his net worth. Today, his net worth is at an estimated $200 million! His net worth easily makes him one of the richest actors in the industry today.
At present, Ashton Kutcher enjoys his life with That 70’s Show co-star Mila Kunis and their two children. The family enjoys their well-earned life in a sustainable farmhouse in Beverly Hills.
