Seth MacFarlane Net Worth: ‘Ted 2’ Nears Release, ‘Family Guy’ Creator Among RICHEST Men In TV!

Arguably the person with the most politically incorrect sense of humor on American television, Seth MacFarlane's net worth is the fruit of a mostly incredibly successful career in animation, ranging from other people's projects such as "Johnny Bravo" until creating his own.

The career that would make Seth MacFarlane's net worth rise to the amazing numbers it has today began in the 90s, when he studied film, video and animation at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), earning a degree as a Bachelor of Fine Arts and performing stand-up comedy in the meantime - and ultimately creating a thesis film called "The Life of Larry," which would years later turn into "Family Guy."

It was only a little later that Seth MacFarlane's net worth would truly begin to rise, as he was hired at Hanna-Barbera Cartoons based on his writing skills for his thesis, and he was viewed as a more talented writer, a rarity in the company.

During his tenure at Hanna-Barbera, he contributed with some of the most iconic animated shows in the decade like the aforementioned "Johnny Bravo," as well as "Dexter's Laboratory," "Cow and Chicken" and its sister show "I Am Weasel," all of which boosted Seth MacFarlane's net worth.

At about that time, began writing for "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," the animated show based on the Jim Carrey and Courteney Cox film of the same name.

However, it wasn't until he made a deal with Fox about his own animated series that Seth MacFarlane's net worth truly exploded, as he created one of the most iconic series in television, "Family Guy," where he also voiced a few of the main characters like Stewie Griffin, with an all-star cast including Mila Kunis.

MacFarlane has gone on to other ventures such as television series "American Dad" and "The Cleveland Show," as well as hosting the Academy Awards a few years back and even writing and directing his own feature film, "Ted," with Kunis and Mark Wahlberg - not to mention having dated khaleesi herself, Emilia Clarke from "Game of Thrones"!

Currently, Seth MacFarlane's net worth stands at $200 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
