Hollywood couple Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario each have an estimated net worth of $10 million even though Patrick has appeared in more movies than his wife.
Patrick J Adams is a Canadian actor who shot to fame playing the role of a smart fraud lawyer, Mike Ross, in the USA Network hit legal drama, Suits. He is also a film director and an avid photographer. He has proven his versatility in the industry as many of his performances have been met with rave reviews.
His career resume, level of fame, and wealth he has acquired indicate that Adam has come a long way from the days he was a student studying acting at the University of Southern California. His wife Troian Bellisario studied fine arts at the same institution and they are now both celebrated figures in Hollywood. Patrick only became a professional actor in 2001 but Troian has been an actress since 1988 when she was three years old.
Her career has earned her coveted gongs like the Teen Choice Awards and Young Hollywood Awards among others. Albeit not as much as his wife, Adams has received a few awards like the Bucharest ShortCut Cinefest Award for Best Actor which he won in 2021 for his role in “Three Days Gone: Based on the Life of Lucas Snow (2020).
Many years earlier (in 2012), his role in Suits earned him a Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series. Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario have been married for many years and apart from prying into their private life, people have had the need to compare their net worth and career attainments.
Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario’s Net Worth $10 Million Each
Patrick J Adams was born on the 27th of August 1981 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Rowan Marsh and Claude Adams. His father is a journalist and Adams attended Northern Secondary School, a public high school in Toronto. Unfortunately, Adams’ parents divorced while he was a teen and as a result, he decided to relocate to Los Angeles at the age of 19. In LA, Adams attended the University of Southern California from where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts. Adams was one of the most outstanding students at the school and as a result, was a recipient of the Jack Nicholson Award in 2004.
Patrick J Adams began his career a year after landing in Los Angeles. He began first on stage and worked on Edward Albee’s production of The Goat (or Who is Sylvia?) which was played at the Mark Taper Forum. Adams began his screen career by appearing in short films and TV shows. He had small parts in popular TV shows like Numb3rs, Friday Night Lights, Without a Trace, Lost, NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, and more. All of these roles prepared him for the co-lead role of Mike Ross in Suits which became his much-needed breakthrough. Patrick J Adams left the show at the end of its 7th season. But by then he was already a multi-millionaire.
The story is different for his wife Troian Bellisario, she was born in Los Angeles on the 28th of October 1985 to parents who are popular figures in Hollywood. Her mother Deborah Pratt is an actress and TV producer and her father Donald P. Bellisario is a celebrated producer admired for creating popular series like NCIS, Magnum, P.I., JAG, Quantum Leap, and much more. Considering who her parents are, it is not difficult to see how Troian became a part of the acting business when she was three. She has remained active in the industry since then and is best known for playing Spencer Hastings in Pretty Little Liars.
Thanks to the many roles they have played since their acting careers took off, Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario have a combined net worth of $20 million, $10 million each. And as you would soon learn, they didn’t make all of that from what they have thus far earned for portraying various characters. The couple has also made money through other means in the industry.
Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario’s Net Worth Come From Directing and Producing Several Projects
Paychecks from acting roles are the biggest contributors to Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario’s net worths. Adam’s highest paying acting gig since the start of his career, or at least as of this writing, is Suits. He earned at least an estimated $50,000 per episode of the show. For Bellisario, it’s Pretty Little Liars. Based on what has been reported on various platforms, she earned as much as $42,000 per episode of the series.
Beyond giving life to characters in various small and big-screen projects, the couple has also directed and produced several projects which have added a significant amount to their net worths. As a producer, Adams produced no fewer than 78 episodes of Suits. He first co-produced 16 episodes between 2013 and 2014; and produced 62 episodes between the latter year and 2018. In 2017, he produced eight episodes of Pillow Talk, a television series that starred him in a lead role as Ryan. Patrick J Adams is also the producer of the 2018 short film, We Are Here. He directed the short film and also directed four episodes of Suits between 2015 and 2017.
Also a director and producer, Troian Bellisario has produced shorth films like Exiles, We Are Here, Like Turtles, and the 2017 feature film, Feed. Her works as a director include a 2017 episode of Pretty Little Liars, a 2018 episode of Famous in Love, the short film Life on Mars, and three episodes of Good Trouble which she directed between 2019 and 2021.
They Equally Earn from Screenwriting
Various factors determine what a screenwriter makes, but for writers who are members of the Writers Guild of America, the average pay is estimated to be around $110,000. With that, one can assert that Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario have made a significant sum from screenwriting. This is especially true for Troian who wrote the scripts of productions like Exiles, Feed, We Are Here, and Like Turtles.
The Suit actor is also a scriptwriter but to the best of our knowledge, he only has one credit in this regard – for the short film We Are Here. What the couple has made from scriptwriting may not be known to the public but it has contributed to their wealth.
Who Has a Longer Filmography Between Patrick and Troian?
Patrick J Adams and Troian Bellisario have both spent decades in the movie industry and have featured in dozens of small and big screen projects. But while Patrick became a part of the industry as an adult at the age of 20, his wife has been a member almost all through her life. As stated earlier, she began acting when she was three. Considering this fact, one might quickly conclude that Troian has a longer filmography. But this is not so.
From records of their works available in the public domain, Patrick takes the lead. As of April 2021, he has pulled off 53 acting roles in short movies, feature films, and television series. In essence, he has played 13 roles more than his wife who has 40 credits as an actress.
Troian Has Received More Awards Than Her Husband
True, Patrick has a longer filmography when compared to Troian’s, but that does not mean he’s more successful and accomplished. For some people, the number of awards a performer has received tells how fruitful their career has been. If we must subscribe to that sentiment, then one would be left with no option but to declare Troian as the most successful among the two.
She has been nominated for no fewer than 15 awards since her career took off and she has won at least seven for them, including two Teen Choice Awards and most recently, the Best Actress in a Short Film Award of the Northeast Film Festival. She received the award in 2020 for her role in Like Turtles. As far as we know, Patrick has only been nominated for two awards: Screen Actors Guild (2012) and the Bucharest ShortCut Cinefest Award for Best Actor. He won the latter in 2021.
