What Is Angus T. Jones’ Net Worth and Salary?

With a net worth of $20 million, Angus T. Jones is an American actor recognized primarily for his role in the long-running television series “Two and a Half Men.” Angus featured in the show from 2003 until 2013, returning briefly in 2015, and he appeared in a total of 213 episodes. Despite being the highest-paid child actor globally for several consecutive years due to the show’s success, he left “Two and a Half Men” amid controversy after making negative comments about the show on a Christian radio broadcast. Since 2006, he has refrained from acting professionally.

Two and a Half Men Salary

During the height of his career on “Two and a Half Men,” Angus earned an impressive $350,000 per episode, resulting in an estimated annual income of around $9-10 million when taking syndication points into consideration. For many years, Jones held the title of the highest-paid child star on television.

Early Life and Career

On October 8, 1993, Angus T. Jones was born in Austin, Texas, as the older of two brothers. He made his professional debut in the late 1990s through various television commercials prior to starting kindergarten. Subsequently, he transitioned to television and film, featuring in projects such as “Simpatico,” “See Spot Run,” “ER,” “Dinner with Friends,” “The Rookie,” “Bringing Down the House,” and “George of the Jungle 2.” He also had a role in “The Christmas Blessing.”

Two and a Half Men

Angus secured the role of Jake Harper in “Two and a Half Men” in 2003, a role that propelled him to fame. He was the first child actor auditioned for the character of Jake and was cast on the spot. As the character, Jake represented the “half man” in the series title, a 10-year-old living with his divorced father, portrayed by Jon Cryer, and an indulgent uncle, played by Charlie Sheen.

The sitcom averaged about 15 million viewers and maintained its status as the most popular comedy show in the U.S. for a significant portion of its airing. In season nine, which spanned from 2011 to 2012, Angus’s character began to receive more provocative storylines, showcasing him as a heavy marijuana user and sexually involved with older women.

In a 2012 interview with the Seventh Day Adventist radio show “Voice of Prophecy,” Jones discussed his journey to a revived religious faith. The following month, he announced he had been baptized and expressed his desire to step away from “Two and a Half Men,” labeling the show “filth” and citing its conflict with his religious beliefs. He also encouraged viewers to stop tuning in. His remarks prompted media attention after he appeared in a video on the YouTube channel of ForeRunner Chronicles, an independent ministry run by Christopher Hudson. The subsequent day, Jones released a statement to clarify his remarks, indicating he “cannot address everything that has been said or correct every misstatement or misunderstanding.” The producers of “Two and a Half Men” indicated he wouldn’t return to the set until 2012; however, by April 2013, his role was reduced to “recurring” status for the eleventh season. Ultimately, he only returned for a cameo in the series finale of season 12, which was aired on February 19, 2015.

Other Ventures

Beyond acting, Jones is also a skilled singer. After departing from “Two and a Half Men,” Angus enrolled at the University of Colorado Boulder. In 2016, he became part of the management team at Tonight, a multimedia and event production business founded by Justin Combs and Kene Orijoke.

Jones participates in numerous charitable initiatives, notably with the First Star Organization, which supports abused and neglected children. In August 2008, he joined other celebrities at the “Rock ‘N Roll Fantasy Camp.” Additionally, in 2008, he attended Variety’s Power of Youth benefit for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. In October 2009, he was honored with the Rising Star Award from Big Brothers Big Sisters. He also champions the anti-bullying initiative Be a Star, co-founded by The Creative Coalition and WWE, and participated in the Kids Night at the Dream Center LA, a charity event for children orphaned by Hurricane Katrina.
