Rob McElhenney Net Worth $18 Million
Rob McElhenney was raised by two gay mothers in New Jersey, which has obviously had no negative effect on Rob, in fact the opposite, as his formative years were happy and he’s carried this demeanour on into his acting career. Rob made his film debut in 1997 in “The Devil`s Own”, produced by Alan J. Pakula, and the same year his first TV performance was in an episode of the series “Law and Order”.
Rob McElhenney’s net worth was then increased somewhat with small roles in the films “A Civil Action”, “Thirteen Conversations About One Thing”, and “Wonder Boys”, and more substantive roles in such movie productions as “Latter Days” and “The Tollbooth”.
As for other TV appearances, Rob McElhenney then performed in “ER” and “Lost”, a series even popular until today, then further in an episode in the 3rd season of the latter named “Not in Portland” .
However, by 2004 for Rob McElhenney it was not enough to take some minor roles in movies, and he was also working as a waiter to make ends meet, but fortuitously it was during that financially difficult time that Rob was offered a part in “It`s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. This series keeps Rob fully occupied to the present day, as 50 weeks of the year are needed for writing, acting, directing and producing this show, all of which he is involved in. The series performances boosted Rob’s net worth even more, as interestingly Rob was offered a part in “Lost” because he accidentally met its producer and creator Damon Lindelof, who was a big fan of “It`s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”.
Subsequently, Rob McElhenney has also starred in such movie projects as “Campfire Stories”, “Long Story Short”, and “Living Loaded”. As regards his latest project, Rob has been appearing in “The Mindy Project” during 2014, so Rob has certainly been a late bloomer in the industry, as he is obviously in much demand as an actor these days.
As for his personal life, Rob McElhenney married Kaitlin Olson on 27 September, 2008 in California. Kaitlin also starred in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. The couple have welcomed two children: Axel Lee McElhenney born in 2010 and Leo Grey McElhenney born in 2012. Together the couple have purchased a Skinner`s Bar in Philadephia, which should add more income to Rob McElhenney’s current net worth.
