Seth MacFarlane net worth and salary: Seth MacFarlane is an American producer, writer, voice actor, singer and comedian who has a net worth of $300 million. Anyone who was lucky enough to create just one hit television shot for a major network TV channel with DVDs and merchandise would die a very happy and VERY rich person. Seth MacFarlane has managed that feat not once but three times with his smash hit shows Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show. He has also written, directed and produced several films including 2012’s Ted which grossed over $500 million, 2015’s Ted 2 which grossed just under $200 million and 2014’s A Million Ways to Die in the West.Early Life: Seth MacFarlane was born October 26, 1973 in Kent, Connecticut. He is a distant descendant of Mayflower passenger William Brewster. Seth developed an interest in illustration as a child thanks to cartoons like Woody Woodpecker and Fred Flintstone. Amazingly, Seth decided to pursue a career in animation when he was just five years old. At the age of nine he published his first comic, “Walter Crouton”, which was published weekly in The Kent Good Times Dispatch. Seth earned $5 per week from the comic, his first paying gig.In high school Seth began making short films using his parents’ 8mm camera. He then went on to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where he studied film, video and animation. While at RISD, Seth’s had a classmate named Patrick Henry. At some point Patrick introduced Seth to his brother Mike Henry, an aspiring stand-up comedian/actor who would later collaborate on several MacFarlane projects. Mike Henry would later voice the characters Cleveland Brown, Herbert, Consuela and Bruce. In 2009 Mike co-created The Cleveland Show which ran until 2013.But back to RISD. During his senior year, Seth created a film these called The Life of Larry. His professor submitted the film to executives at Hanna-Barbera who instantly offered Seth a job. Seth worked on a number of Hanna-Barbera projects. In 1996 he created an updated version of The Life of Larry called Larry & Steve which featured a lovable/dumb middle-aged character named Larry and his loyal intelligent dog, Steve. Sound familiar?Family Guy: After seeing Larry & Steve, executives at Fox asked Seth to pitch them a show idea. Fox initially passed but after the surprise success of their 1997 show King of the Hill, Seth was invited back to pitch again. This time around Fox agreed to produce a pilot but offered Seth a scant $50,000 to use as his budget. At the time, most animated prime time shows had a per-episode budget of $1 million.Seth spent six months creating what he would later admit was a crudely animated film. The pilot impressed Fox execs who immediately ordered a full season. At 24 years old, Seth was the youngest executive producer in television.Family Guy debuted on January 31, 1999 immediately after Fox’s broadcast of Super Bowl XXXIII. The show’s debut was seen by 22 million people. The first season performed well enough to earn a second season. Unfortunately during the second season the show faced steep competition at the Thursday, 9PM time slot and ratings subsequently tanked. Fox technically canceled the show in May 2000 after the second season, but after a last-minute reprieve a third season was approved and returned in November 2001. The show continued to find good ratings and was officially canceled in the summer of 2002.Family Guy found a following when reruns began airing on Cartoon Network. It was actually the network’s highest-rated show overall, boosting viewership more than 200%. In 2003 the show’s first and second seasons were released on DVD.

Fox quickly uncancelled the show, bringing back a fourth season in May 2005.Syndication Revenue: Over the next 15 years, Family Guy would air more than 300 new episodes over an additional 14 seasons. It has been syndicated globally in dozens of countries and languages. Between 2005 and 2008 alone, the show generated north of $1 billion in revenue – $400 million from syndication deals, $400 from DVD sales and $200 million in merchandise sales.
