What is Vince Vaughn’s Net Worth and Salary?

Vince Vaughn is an American actor, screenwriter, comedian, and producer who has a net worth of $70 million. Vince Vaughn is not your typical Hollywood movie star. Handsome in sort of an off-beat way, the very tall actor, writer, producer, and comedian from Minnesota, first broke into mainstream consciousness with his role in the 1996 film, “Swingers” which was written by, and co-starred, his friend Jon Favreau.

The film proved to be an independent hit, and it led to higher profile offers, including a role in “The Lost World: Jurassic Park”, and more dramatic fare, such as “Return to Paradise”, and “South of Heaven, West of Hell”. However, it was 2003’s “Old School” that finally made him a household name.

Since then, he has gone on to appear in a string of hit comedies, including “Starsky & Hutch”, “Dodgeball”, “Wedding Crashers”, “Fred Clause”, “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” and “The Dilemma”.

In the 2000s, Vince Vaughn was one of the key members of a group that was nicknamed the “Frat Pack.” Other Frat Pack members included Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson, Steve Carell, and Jack Black. At the peak of his career Vince was one of the highest-paid actors in the world, earning $15 – $20 million per movie.

For example, he earned $20 million for 2007’s “Fred Claus” and $17 million for 2011’s “The Dilemma”.
