Eugene Levy nowadays is known as a TV producer, actor, film director, producer, screenwriter, comedian, voice actor and musician from Canada. The estimated net worth of E. Levy is almost as high as $15 million. He is best known for his appearance in the “American Pie” film series, and it would be fair to admit that a huge part of Levy’s net worth was earned while filming these teen films. But he has also appeared as Mitch Cohen in “A Mighty Wind” and as Guy Fontenot in “Almost Heroes”.
Eugene Levy Net Worth $15 Million
Eugene Levy was born to Jewish parents on December 17, 1946, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His parents were not famous at all – his mother did not work, only looking after Eugene and doing some work at home, while his father worked as a foreman. But Eugene was able to receive a good education – at first he attended Westdale Secondary School and later studied at McMaster University. He was an active student there and even met Ivan Reitman – owner of The Montecito Picture Company nowadays.
Levy’s net worth began to increase as he started to appear on SCTV, making parodies. He became extremely popular in Canada while representing many popular people, such as Henry Kissinger, Ernest Borgnine, Howard Cosell, Alex Trebek, Perry Como, Milton Berle, Lorne Greene, Jack Carter, John Carles Daly, James Caan and many others. This was an extremely successful beginning for a young actor, and later he started to appear in some movies too. Levy made his debut as an actor in 1971, when he played a coffee boy in “Foxy Lady”, but of course, this was a very small addition to Eugene’s net worth. He starred in “Waiting for Guffman”, released in 1997 and directed by Christopher Guest, but actually we can say that the acting career of Eugene Levy did not make him famous: Levy was not even credited in some of the movies in which he played. True fame, and the great breakthrough which greatly increased Levy’s net worth emerged in 1999, when “American Pie” was released. Eugene Levy played Noah Levenstein in the film, and became beloved by the viewers thanks to this funny role.
Of course, after such a successful role, Levy’s net worth built up immediately, and he continued his hard work while performing in many other movies. For example, Levy established much higher net worth while playing in such movies as “Repli-Kate”, “Best In Show”, “The Man”, “Over the Hedge”, “For Your Consideration” and “A Mighty Wind”. Of course, more success was added to Levy after “America Pie 2” was released, and right after it “American Pie Presents: Band Camp”. And after all his performances in these movies, no one should have any doubt about how rich Eugene Levy is, so there is no wonder that today Levy is considered to be not only one of the greatest actors and comedians of our century, but he is also one of the richest personalities in the world after all his hard work.
