During his time in Hollywood, Jordan Peele has done it all. Not only has he climbed the ladder as a heavyweight actor and comedian, but he’s also been proving his worth as a writer and director.
So how much is Get Out star worth exactly?
Let’s investigate…
Jordan Peele Net Worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jordan Peele’s net worth is around $50 million.
He first became famous thanks to his comedy sketch series Key and Peele, which he co-wrote with Keegan-Michael Key.
Jordan then went on to write and act in films including BlacKkKlansman and Candyman.
His films have generally focused on the theme of race, and this took a surprising turn with his critically acclaimed hit Get Out in 2017.

Matt Damon Net Worth: How much cash does the A-lister have?
The film wasn’t expected to be a hit, but it ended up grossing $255 million at the box office, which added to his net worth nicely.
When Entertainment Weekly asked Jordan about how Get Out had changed his approach for the rest of his career, the writer and actor said:
“It just allows me to trust myself a little more. There was a long time where I felt like this was going to be something I would love, but I didn’t have any assurance that it would actually work or be supported. I feel like now I can commit to my instincts and work faster.”
Early Career
Jordan Peele started out performing for Boom Chicago, which earned him a presenting spot for MTV’s Comedy Weekend in 2002.
From here, the comedian joined the cast of Mad TV for its ninth season, along with his future partner for Key & Peele, Keegan-Michael Key. The duo immediately hit things off, and brought a LOT of chemistry to the screen!
At this point, Jordan Peele was becoming a huge star. He was nominated for an Emmy Award for his song “Sad Fitty Cent”, and went viral thanks to his Hilary vs Obama sketch on Mad TV.

After a couple of SNL auditions and a few more seasons of Mad TV, Jordan Peele finally decided to start up his own show with Keegan-Michael Key- and the rest is history!
Growing Family
When Jordan isn’t busy working on projects, he’s hanging out with his equally talented wife, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Chelsea Peretti.
The couple generally keep their relationship low-key, but they occasionally hit the red carpet together for an award ceremony or two.
Their romance started back in 2013- on Twitter no less.
Jordan was apparently VERY complimentary about a web series that Chelsea had worked on, and things kicked off from there.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chelsea Peretti said that they were originally planning to go to Sizzler for the first date. It’s not clear if they did end up at the chain restaurant, but we can get on board with their casual attitude to dating.
After less than two years of dating, the pair announced their engagement. And considering their relationship beginnings, it was pretty fitting that they decided to break the news on Twitter!

Six months later, the couple tied the knot. They actually chose to elope, so their wedding party was tiny.
During an appearance on Conan in 2018, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star gave the details of their nuptials.
She explained that it was just her and Jordan, their dog, and a woman named Soaring who married them. Apparently, the pair eloped in Big Sur, and not even their families were present.
Fast forward a year, and Jordan and Chelsea were expecting their first child together.
Chelsea gave birth to a baby boy, and they decided to call him Beaumont Gino Peele.
