Brett Goldstein has an estimated net worth of $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Brett Goldstein net worth page (figures as of April 29, 2026).
Brett Goldstein is an English actor, comedian, writer, producer and podcaster, best known as the gruff footballer Roy Kent in Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso. He was born in 1980 in the London suburb of Sutton, studied film at the University of Warwick and later trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.
Before fame, he spent time in Marbella, Spain, working at a strip club his father had bought, an experience he turned into the stand-up show Brett Goldstein Grew Up in a Strip Club. He appeared in British comedies such as Uncle, Drifters and Derek, and won a BIFA award for the film Adult Life Skills.
How Brett Goldstein makes his money
Goldstein was first hired on Ted Lasso as a writer. His writing led to him being cast as Roy Kent after he emailed a self-taped audition to the producers. The role won him the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in both 2021 and 2022, and being both a writer and a cast member on a hit show means earning in two ways.
His second big source of income is Shrinking, the Apple TV+ comedy-drama he co-created. Creating a successful series is one of the most rewarding jobs in television, because creators earn fees and often a share of the show's long-term earnings.
He also has several smaller income streams. He hosts the comedy podcast Films to Be Buried With, which he started in 2018, and he has written and performed four solo stand-up shows. He co-wrote The Nan Movie with Catherine Tate and has acted in films and television outside Ted Lasso.
This mix of writing, acting, producing and comedy makes his career unusually well balanced.
