Not all of Carell's Hollywood endeavors brought in much money. He actually only made $500,000 for Virgin, and he had to endure all that hot wax. But future films he starred in were far more lucrative. Carell earned $5 million for Evan Almighty, $12 million for Date Night, $12.5 million for Dinner with the Schmucks, and $15 million for Crazy Stupid Love (via Celebrity Net Worth). Playing Gru in the kid favorite, Despicable Me, was the true moneymaker; this multiple-sequel franchise brought in over a billion dollars in profits (per The Numbers). Carell's piece of that pie was approximately $15-20 million dollars for Despicable Me 2 and 3, and for his part in the spin-off, Minions, according to Men's Health. He also earns significant ongoing royalties from The Office and other vehicles he's starred in.
Carell owns some pricey real estate with his wife, Nancy Walls. In addition to a Los Angeles home valued at $11.8 million, the couple has a four-bedroom home in Carell's hometown of Marshfield Hills, Massachusetts, and they are the owners and occasional operators of their neighborhood Marshfield Hills General Store (per Velvet Ropes).
