Evan Goldberg Net Worth $20 Million
Evan Goldberg was raised in a Jewish family, spending his childhood time in Marpole. He went to Point Grey Secondary School, after which he enrolled at McGill University.
Right after graduation, Evan’s professional career began, as in 2004 he was hired to write for the TV series “Da Ali G Show” together with his long term friend Seth Rogen. Since then, his career has gone only upwards, and so has his net worth, as well as popularity. Thus, soon after his first major project came, when he became an executive producer of the 2007 film “Knocked Up”, which was followed by another film entitled “Superbad” in the same year.
In the following year, Evan wrote a screenplay for the comedy film “Pineapple Express”, for which he was an executive producer as well. It was followed by his next major work on the film “Funny People” (2009). As he and Seth Rogen were huge fans of the TV series “The Simpsons”, they heard that its producer James L. Brooks was a huge fan of their project “Superbad”, and they decided to ask him if they could write an episode. Thus, in 2010, they wrote the episode “Homer The Whopper”, for the 21st season. In 2011, Evan produced and wrote the screenplay for such film titles as “The Green Hornet”, “Goon”, and “50/50”, all of which added a lot to his net worth.
To speak further about his career, he created the trailer for “Jay And Seth Versus The Apocalypse”, which was later made under the name “This Is The End” and released in 2013, which was his directing debut, contributing further to his net worth. Evan was also an executive producer of the 2014 film “The Interview”, and the TV series “Preacher” (2016-present), “The Masterpiece” – which is currently in post-production and is set to be released in 2016 – and “Future Man”, which will be released in 2017.
Thanks to his accomplishments in the film industry, in 2008 Evan Goldberg won the Canadian Comedy Award in the category Best Writing in A Film for his work on “Superbad”, which he shared with Seth Rogen.
Speaking about his personal life, little is known about Evan Goldberg in the media, except that he has been married to Lisa Goldberg since 2012.
