So, there I was, minding my own business at this retro arcade bar the other night, when "Stranger Things" starts playing on the TV behind the counter. You know, the one with the pixelated graphics and the synth soundtrack that's become as iconic as Eleven's wig. And who do I see gracing the screen? None other than our favorite '80s heartthrob, Steve Harrington, AKA Joe Keery. Now, I've been wondering, how much moolah does this guy have stashed away? Let's dive in, shall we?
From Pizza Delivery Guy to Hollywood Hunk
Let's rewind a bit. Joe Keery started his acting career back in 2011, but it wasn't until he landed the role of Steve Harrington in "Stranger Things" in 2016 that he really blew up. And boy, did he blow up. From being the guy who delivered pizza to the Wheeler's, he became the guy who saved the day (and won our hearts) with his badass hair and even better comebacks.
Now, you might be thinking, "Sure, he's in this super popular show, but how much does that really pay?" Well, according to Variety, the main cast of "Stranger Things" - that's Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, and Sadie Sink - all make around $350,000 per episode in seasons 3 and 4. That's right, folks. Per. Episode.

But Wait, There's More!
Now, I know what you're thinking. "That's a lot, but how much has he actually made?" Well, let's do some math. There are typically 8-10 episodes per season. So, if we take the average and multiply it by the four seasons that have aired so far, Joe has made around $14 million from "Stranger Things" alone. And that's not including potential bonuses, residuals, or any other perks that come with being a main cast member.
But Joe's not just sitting on his laurels, waiting for the next season of "Stranger Things" to drop. He's been busy with other projects too. He's had roles in movies like "Free Guy" and "Spree", and he's even ventured into music, releasing a solo album in 2020. So, who knows how much he's raking in from all that?

So, How Much Money Does Joe Keery Have?
Alright, let's get down to business. As of 2021, Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Joe Keery has a net worth of around $4 million. Now, I know what you're thinking. "That's not as much as I thought it would be!" But remember, this is just an estimate. We don't know exactly how much he's got stashed away, and it's not like he's walking around with a big ol' sign on his head saying "I'm worth $4 million!".
Plus, let's not forget that he's still relatively young in his career. He's got plenty of time to rake in even more cash. And who knows? Maybe he's got some secret investment portfolio that's making him millions while he sleeps. Wouldn't that be nice?

But Money Isn't Everything, Right?
Now, I'm not saying Joe Keery is rolling in it like Scrooge McDuck. But he's certainly doing pretty well for himself. And hey, if I had that much money, I'd probably be pretty happy too. But remember, folks, money isn't everything. It can't buy you friends, love, or even a good night's sleep (trust me, I've tried).
So, while it's fun to speculate about how much our favorite celebrities are worth, let's not forget that what really matters is the impact they have on our lives. And whether it's making us laugh, cry, or just plain '80s nostalgic, Joe Keery is doing a pretty darn good job of that.
