For almost twenty years, David Boreanaz's net worth has risen from his work in television, after being in a series of beloved television shows, some of which have turned into TV icons in the past few years - but how much money has he earned?

Though the actor's first screen acting gigs date all the way back to 1993, it wasn't until 1997 that David Boreanaz's net worth started rising consistently, when he was cast as Angel/Angelus, Sarah Michelle Gellar's boyfriend in the cult supernatural show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

It was superstar "Avengers" director Joss Whedon who gave David Boreanaz's net worth its first chance of rising, and the actor continued to collaborate with Whedon years later, getting his own "Buffy" spin-off show, "Angel," where he played the same vampire who Buffy falls for, always seeking for redemption - though still appearing on the original show every once in a while, including the series finale.

"Angel" made David Boreanaz's net worth rise considerably, giving him a name as a go-to science fiction actor, though he tried his best to keep off being typecast, doing films and television shows not at all related with the genre - though mostly staying on television.

Barely a year after the 2004 end of "Angel," David Boreanaz's net worth (and altogether his career in other television genres) took a new turn, as the actor was cast in the Fox crime drama "Bones" alongside Zooey Deschanel's sister Emily.

In the show, Boreanaz plays FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, a funny and nurturing cop and war veteran who cares a lot about the situations he faces ... and the success of "Bones" relies deeply on his character's relationship with Deschanel's Temperance Brennan, a seemingly cold scientist.

Following long talks with the producers over salary adjustments, Deadline reports that "Bones" has now been scheduled for an eleventh season!

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth reports that David Boreanaz's net worth is $22 million, making $250 thousand per episode of the show!
