Jensen Ackles has an estimated net worth of $16 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Jensen Ackles net worth page (figures as of September 30, 2026).
Jensen Ackles is an American actor and musician who was born on March 1, 1978. He gained recognition for his portrayal of Dean Winchester in the dark fantasy drama series Supernatural, which ran on The WB and The CW from 2005 to 2020. He also appeared on the NBC soap Days of Our Lives as Eric Brady, which earned him several Daytime Emmy Award nominations.
He portrays Ben, also known as Soldier Boy, in the superhero series The Boys, which ran from 2022 to 2026, and will reprise the role in its prequel Vought Rising in 2027. He also played twin super soldiers in Fox's Dark Angel and Jason Teague in Smallville, and starred in the box office success My Bloody Valentine 3D.
How Jensen Ackles makes his money
Supernatural was the biggest part of his career. A lead role on a series that lasted fifteen seasons meant a steady salary for years, and the show kept earning for its stars through reruns and streaming.
His role in The Boys on Amazon Prime Video moved him back into a hit series, and a return in the prequel Vought Rising suggests more television pay ahead.
He also works as a voice actor. He voiced Jason Todd in the animated film Batman: Under the Red Hood and Bruce Wayne in Batman: The Long Halloween, Legion of Super-Heroes and Justice League: Warworld, which adds fees.
As a musician he is one half of the rock band Radio Company, formed in 2018 with Steve Carlson, but music is a smaller piece of his income than acting.
Fan conventions and live appearances are another common source of income for actors who star in long-running cult series, since Supernatural built a devoted fan base that has stayed active well after the show ended. The size of that income is private, so it is not part of the estimate we show here.
