Every once in a while, a comedy film can come along and break the mold, becoming a gigantic hit on the big screen. It is difficult to make an R-rated comedy a huge success, but as we have seen in the past with movies like American Pie, it is possible for these films to thrive financially.
The Hangover was a colossal success upon its release, and it helped turn its lead actors into major Hollywood stars, most notably Bradley Cooper. This, in turn, helped them all boost their net worths considerably.
Let’s see which Hangover star has the highest net worth.
Bradley Cooper Is Number One With $100 Million
Bradley Cooper has done a lot of exceptional work throughout his career, and his time in The Hangover was a huge piece of the puzzle that turned him into a genuine A-list star. Thanks to the success of the franchise and a string of other hit films, Bradley Cooper currently has a net worth of $100 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
While he had done some work in film and television, most notably on the show Alias prior to landing one of the lead roles in The Hangover, it was his time in the first film that really put him on the map. Of course, the Hangover movies did make him a considerable amount of money, but the work that Cooper has done outside of this franchise has been lucrative, as well.
Through the years, Bradley Cooper has appeared in smash hit films like Silver Linings Playbook, Wedding Crashers, A Star is Born, American Hustle, American Sniper, and he is the voice of Rocket Raccoon in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Yeah, the guy stays winning, and he has the bank account to prove it.
On top of all of the exceptional work that he has already done, Bradley Cooper has at least two more Marvel movies on the horizon, meaning that he’s going to continue banking millions while voicing Rocket. He will also take part in plenty of other projects outside of Marvel, and if his track record is any indication, then he is poised for a ton of success.
As great as this is for Cooper, his fellow co-stars have made bank, too.
Zach Galifianakis Is Next With $40 Million
Zach Galifianakis is one of the funniest comedic performers working today, and his distinct style and delivery has been instrumental in him standing out from the pack. Thanks to his work in the Hangover franchise and other comedy hits, Galifianakis currently finds himself with a net worth of $40 million.
Outside of the Hangover films, Galifianakis has appeared in movies like The Muppets, Birdman, and Due Date. He was even in A Wrinkle in Time, and he voiced the Joker in The Lego Batman Movie, which was a huge success at the box office. Like any actor, he has his duds, but the man sure knows how to land a great role.
Galifianakis has also done a solid amount of work on the small screen, with Between Two Ferns being his most notable project. It seems like clips from Between Two Ferns go viral regularly, which has been a huge reason why the show has been able to thrive for so long. Galifianakis also start on the series Baskets from 2016 to 2019.
Television has been lucrative for the star, but not quite as lucrative as it has been for another Hangover alumni.
Ed Helms Has A Healthy $25 Million
Ed Helms is one of the most recognizable people in the business, and this is because he has had the pleasure of starring a number of massive projects. He was fantastic in the Hangover franchise, and his body of work has helped him reach a net worth of $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
As great as the Hangover franchise was for Ed Helms, the vast majority of people will recognize him from his time as Andy Bernard on The Office. Helms started off as a supporting character and quickly became one of the most popular figures on the show while playing the Nard Dog. This means that he has a huge legacy on the small screen to go along with his work in the Hangover franchise.
Outside of the Hangover movies, Ed Helms has also appeared in the Night at the Museum franchise, the Harold & Kumar franchise, The Lorax, Vacation, and Tag. He has also been featured in hugely successful television shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Arrested Development, BoJack Horseman, and Family Guy. Talk about a huge success.
The Hangover cast made lots of money, and these three performers have amassed substantial net worths.
