Jason Segel Net Worth: ‘How I Met Your Mother’ Actor Gets Serious Playing David Foster Wallace, Oscar Ahead For Marshall Eriksen?

Last year, "How I Met Your Mother" ended after 9 seasons on the air, and the show's cast has moved on to other projects, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting the Oscars and getting his own reality show, Cobie Smulders continuing on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Josh Radnor starring in a PBS Civil War drama - but where is Jason Segel's net worth coming from these days?

The latest project that's seeing Jason Segel's net worth rising is the film "The End of the Tour," a rare turn to drama from the actor, who's traditionally worked in comedies for the better part of his career.

As critics website Rotten Tomatoes shows, it's not only that "End of the Tour" is making Jason Segel's net worth rise, it's also putting him on a path nobody thought possible even a few months back: the rave reviews actually make him a strong contender for this year's Oscars.

In the film that's rising Jason Segel's net worth as well as his critical acclaim, the 35 year-old actor plays Pulitzer Prize finalist David Foster Wallace, in a film also starring the likes of Jesse Eisenberg, Anna Chlumsky and Joan Cusack, telling the story of Wallace's roadtrip with Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky in 1996, after the publication of "Infinite Jest."

In the past, Jason Segel's net worth has come from his work in numerous comedies, both before and after his work in the hit show "HIMYM," first becoming a household name in 1997 as part of the cast of cult show "Freaks and Geeks" alongside James Franco, Seth Rogen, Linda Cardellini and Busy Philipps.

Other big films he's been involved with include "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" co-starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Russell Brand, "The Muppets" and even voicing villain Vector in the "Despicable Me" movies.

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Jason Segel's net worth at $30 million and, at the time "How I Met Your Mother" ended in 2014, he was making $225 thousand per episode!
