Alan Michael Ritchson was born on 28 November 1984, in Grand Forks, North Dakota USA, and is a singer, model and actor, but probably best known for his modeling career. He also appeared in the show “Smallville” as Aquaman, and was part of “Blue Mountain State” as Thad Castle. All of his efforts have helped put his net worth to where it is today.
How rich is Alan Ritchson? As of early-2017, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $3 million, mostly earned through a successful career in acting and modelling. He starred in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” as Gloss, and was also part of the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” reboot playing Raphael. As he continues his career it is expected that his wealth will increase.
Alan Ritchson Net Worth $3 million
Alan attended Niceville High School, and after matriculating in 2001 was offered a full music scholarship. During this time he was a dual-enrollment student at Okaloosa Walton Community College where he studied for an Associate of Arts degree, and graduated in 2003.
Alan would then start a modeling career with Abercrombie and Fitch. He also modeled underwear for the store internationaljock.com, and would find a contract with Los Angeles agency Vision Model Management in 2008. He appeared on N2N Body wear, and made his final appearance for Abercrombie and Fitch the following year. During this period, his net worth was slowly starting to build up.
In 2004, Alan started to earn popularity during the third season of “American Idol”, and although he was cut during the Hollywood stage, the television appearance would lead to him appearing in numerous television shows, including “Smallville” as Aqua Man. He also had a small role in the Hallmark movie “Though None Go With Me” which aired two years later, and then appeared in the Lifetime Original film “Nora Roberts’ Midnight Bayou”, and would reprise his role of Aquaman in the animated film “Justice League: The New Frontier” along with the final season of “Smallville”. In 2009, he made a guest appearance in “Head Case” in which he played a male stripper, and “CSI: Miami” as a dead victim. In 2011, he guest starred in “90210” and would then become a part of “Blue Mountain State” as a college football team captain; the show was cancelled in 2012 after three seasons. A few of his latest works on television include “I Can Do That” which is a variety show hosted by Marlon Wayans, and he also made an appearance in an episode of “Black Mirror”. These numerous opportunities have certainly elevated his net worth.
While doing television and modelling work, Alan was also a part of several films, including “The Butcher” and “Fired Up!”, and was used for the model of “Beowulf” in the film of the same name. In 2013, he was cast in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” as Gloss, and would then star as Raphael in the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” reboot. One of his latest films is the science fiction comedy “Lazer Team”. Other projects Ritchson has been a part of include the independent album “This Is Next Time”, and the web series “Enormous Friends”, all contributing steadily to his net worth.
For his personal life, it is known that Alan has been married to Catherine Ritchson since 2006.

I would definitely like to continue playing Aquaman. Playing a superhero is a lot of fun. Creating these stories is a lot of fun. I do what I love. And what I love is entertaining people.

Anytime you have an opportunity as an actor to really grow along with your character, I think that's a real gift.

I have two or three shows that I follow, and even those are few and far, when I can see them on Netflix. I don't really watch anything on TV. It's not really a priority for me.
