Highlights

• Adam Sandler's major success in comedy and film has earned him a net worth of $440 million in 2024.

• In addition to his big salaries from films, Sandler's real estate portfolio is worth between $50-60 million.

Some people are born with the ability to bring joy into the lives of others, and Adam Sandler recognized this unique gift early in life. By the age of 17, he had already begun doing stand-up comedy at nightclubs around Boston, becoming a fan favorite in a matter of months. But success would be right around the corner for the young comedian.

Adam Sandler's big break on SNL came after he was noticed by SNL cast member and Weekend Update host, Dennis Miller, who referred him to Lorne Michaels. However, Sandler was fired from SNL, which worked out in his favor because his movie career began to skyrocket. From earning $1.7 million per movie to a $250 million Netflix deal, Sandler has earned every right to spend lavishly, and, surprisingly, it hasn't seemed to greatly affect his $440 million net worth.
