Biography

Chris Pratt’s net worth is $80 million, a figure earned through a steady ascent from small TV roles to leading two of the highest-grossing film franchises in cinema history. Born in Virginia, Minnesota in 1979, Pratt parlayed his breakthrough on NBC’s Parks and Recreation into a Marvel Cinematic Universe career and multiple $1 billion box office performances. His films as a leading actor have grossed over $14.1 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing film stars of all time.

Updated March 2026: According to Variety, Pratt earned $1.4 million per episode for Amazon Prime Video’s The Terminal List — one of the highest per-episode rates in streaming history — and received a reported $20 million for Netflix’s The Electric State (2025), his highest-paid individual film role to date.

Early Life and Education

Christopher Michael Pratt was born on June 21, 1979, in Virginia, Minnesota, and raised in Lake Stevens, Washington. His father, Daniel Clifton Pratt, worked in construction and mining; his mother, Kathy Pratt, worked at Safeway. Pratt attended Lake Stevens High School, where he wrestled. After graduating, he moved to Hawaii, where he lived out of a van and worked as a daytime entertainer and Bubba Gump Shrimp Company waiter, taking local theater roles when available. He was discovered by actress and director Rae Dawn Chong, who cast him in her short film Cursed Part 3 (2000), setting his Hollywood path in motion.

Acting Career

Pratt’s early career consisted of supporting TV roles, including a recurring part in the drama series Everwood (2002–2006) and guest spots on other shows. His career-defining break came with the role of Andy Dwyer in NBC’s Parks and Recreation (2009–2015), for which he initially earned just a few thousand dollars per episode before eventually reaching the low six figures. He underwent a dramatic physical transformation between 2012 and 2014, losing 60 pounds for a role in Zero Dark Thirty — a transformation that would define his transition to leading man status.

The career pivot came in 2014 when he was cast as Peter Quill/Star-Lord in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which grossed $773 million worldwide on a $170 million budget. He reprised the role in five additional MCU films through Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023). In parallel, he launched a second blockbuster franchise as Owen Grady in Jurassic World (2015, $1.67 billion), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018, $1.31 billion), and Jurassic World Dominion (2022, $1.0 billion) — a trilogy totaling nearly $4 billion worldwide.

Pratt expanded into high-profile streaming with The Terminal List (Amazon Prime Video, 2022), for which he earned $1.4 million per episode as both star and executive producer, according to Variety. He voiced Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023, $1.36 billion). In 2025 he starred in Netflix’s The Electric State, reportedly receiving $20 million for the role. His most recent film, Mercy (Amazon MGM Studios, January 2026), is a sci-fi thriller co-starring Rebecca Ferguson, according to IMDb.
