Anthony Anderson’s Net Worth: He’s 1 Of The Highest Paid Actors In TV

Anthony Anderson’s net worth

Anthony Anderson’s net worth is around $25 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. In January 2023, upon the announcement that he would be hosting a new music-centric game show with his mother Doris, he revealed that she once asked to borrow from him a large sum of money. He had once promised to buy her a house, but here’s how the exchange went down.

“When I say money, it wasn’t just like $1,500,” he told The Messenger. “No, it was like money money because it’s your mama. ‘Mama, why are you asking me for $50,000?’ She wouldn’t come like, ‘Hey baby, I need $5,000. I am a little behind on something.’ My mother came to me and asked me for 50 grand. I get it, you my mama, but you ain’t gonna get that kind of money.”

He explained that while he was earning a decent living from his various TV and movie roles, it takes a lot to have that sort of cash just on hand. “It’s not a loan,” he joked. “I told her that I’m not gonna do it.” But he did the next best thing. He didn’t buy her the house but he did give her the means to buy it herself.

“Don’t let my mama hear you say that because she will correct you and be like, ‘He ain’t bought me sh-—,'” he laughed. “I gave her the job and the opportunity for her to purchase her own home. That’s how she will tell it to you. I didn’t really buy it. But I gave you the job so that you can buy it.”

Anthony Anderson’s Emmy’s salary

While an Emmy host’s salary hasn’t been specifically disclosed, Anthony Anderson is expected to make around $20,000. In 2013 for Seth Macfarlane’s Oscars hosting duties, the Hollywood Reporter found that Macfarlane was paid above the $15,000 SAG-AFTRA minimum. Accounting for inflation, that would be just under $20,000 in 2024 so we have to assume the Emmys host receives around the same amount.

Anthony Anderson’s Black-Ish salary

When Anthony Anderson joined Black-Ish, he was earning around $100,000 for each episode, though reportedly that went up to $400,000 for later seasons. That works out to be around $8.8 million per year before taxes.

Anthony Anderson’s divorce settlement

In September 2023, news broke that Anthony Anderson and his wife of 22 years, Alvina, had settled their divorce 19 months after initially announcing their split for the second time. Alvina previously filed for divorce in 2015 but the couple seemed to overcome their differences and the petition for their first divorce was scrapped in 2017.

Then, on March 25, 2022, Alvina filed for divorce for a second time. She sought spousal support as well as payment of her attorney fees. In court documents obtained by People, Anderson was ordered to pay his former spouse a monthly base amount of $20,000. In the event that the Black-ish actor’s gross income exceeds “$2,000,000 per year,” he would be required to pay Alvina 20 percent of that gross amount, which would increase her payment to $400,000.
