Inside Owen Cooper's net worth

Adolescence actor Owen Cooper has recently created history after he became the youngest male actor ever to win an Acting Award at the age of 15. The actor has won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie for the Netflix drama.

The actor’s win has created a buzz among the fans, with several curious fans anticipating Owen Cooper’s net worth.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Owen Cooper’s net worth is somewhere around $500,000 to $750,000 ( Rs 4.4 to 6.6 crore).

Owen’s primary source of income is acting, particularly thanks to his breakthrough performance in the Netflix miniseries Adolescence.

Netflix has not officially revealed the Adolescence actors’ salaries. However, Variety has previously reported that the breakout actors in similar limited series had earned between $20,000 and $50,000 (Rs 16.8 lakh and 42 lakh) per episode.

Owen Cooper's potential earnings from the Netflix series are said to be around $120,000 (Rs 1.05 crore) to $300,000 (Rs 2.64 crore), excluding bonuses, as Adolescence features six episodes.

Cooper has become more well-known in the entertainment industry, and his net worth has increased due to his forthcoming roles in Wuthering Heights and the BBC series Film Club, as well as his appearance in Sam Fender's music video.

According to reports, Cooper is already commanding mid-six figures for the role of Wuthering Heights, which is scheduled for release in 2026 and is already creating Oscar buzz.

Another report has also suggested that Cooper could easily surpass $1 million in net worth before turning 17 and has been cast in an independent coming-of-age film that will premiere at Sundance 2026.

Media reports have further claimed that Cooper is subject to the Coogan Account laws because he is a minor. This implies that until he turns 18, a portion of his wealth is legally restricted. Until then, Owen’s wealth will be managed by his guardians and financial advisors.

After winning his first Emmy Award and creating history, Owen Cooper delivered an emotional speech thanking the cast, crew and his parents.

He said in his acceptance speech, “Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple of years ago, I didn't expect to be in the United States, never mind here, but I think tonight proves that if you listen, focus, and step out of your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life”

The actor added, “I was nothing three years ago, and I'm here now. Who cares if you get embarrassed? Anything is possible.”
