While Steve Carell is most known to fans for his funny roles in The Office and The 40-Year-Old Virgin—he was even named “America’s Funniest Man” by Life Magazine—the actor is also no slouch when it comes to more serious roles, and Carell has shined in dramatic movies like Beautiful Boy and Foxcatcher.
Carell then pivoted to a successful career voicing Gru in The Despicable Me franchise, and his most recent role took him to Netflix. In Space Force, Carell plays General Mark Naird, the man in charge of the effort to establish the United States Space Force, which is the newly created sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces.
With all of his successes, fans are wondering just how much Carrel has made in his career, and how much he made while on The Office. Here’s what we know.

As for his other popular movies, Carell reportedly earned only $ 50,000 for The 40-Year-Old Virgin, even though he was also a writer and executive producer for the movie.

However, Carrel’s most successful films have been those in the Despicable Me franchise, and he reportedly earned bout $ 15-20 million for Despicable Me 2, Despicable Me 3, and Minions after the success of the first film.
