Pete Davidson Net Worth 2026: The $4M SNL Fortune

Last updated: November 9, 2026  ·  By Nathan Cole

Pete Davidson’s net worth is $4 million in 2026. That is the figure Celebrity Net Worth prints in its September 4, 2025, update, confirmed by Parade in January 2026 and by TVOverMind in November 2025. It will surprise anyone who has seen the other number. Most of the internet still says $8 million. That figure was real once — it was the estimate at the end of his Saturday Night Live run in 2022, and it held through 2024 — but the tracker that every other page cites cut him to $4 million in September 2025, and the pages that still print $8 million are repeating a number that is two years out of date. The honest range is $4–8 million, and the current figure is $4 million.

The cut tells the story of the last four years better than any single number could. Davidson joined SNL at 20, in 2014, one of the youngest cast members in the show’s history, and left in May 2022 after eight seasons. He co-wrote and starred in The King of Staten Island, played Blackguard in The Suicide Squad, and built a film career that kept him working through 2025. Then 2026 arrived with a different set of headlines: a daughter, Scottie Rose, born December 12, 2025; a Staten Island condo sold in May 2026 at a $400,000 loss; a Netflix video podcast that premiered January 30, 2026; and a Staten Island Ferry — bought with Colin Jost for $280,100 in 2022 — that became a floating comedy club for one night in September 2026 and that Davidson now says he will pass to his daughter.

This profile answers the net-worth question in full, then follows Davidson from a Staten Island bowling alley at 16 to the SNL stage, the film sets, the ferry, and the fatherhood that now defines his public life. Every figure carries a named source and a date. Where sources disagree — on the net worth, on his SNL pay, on the condo price, on his height — this profile says so and shows its working. Where a figure is undisclosed, this profile says that too, rather than guessing.

The Million Answer — and the Million You Will Also See

Search “Pete Davidson net worth” and the first page splits into two camps. Parade, Celebrity Net Worth, and TVOverMind say $4 million. A long tail of bio sites — WriteMiner, SRCWAP, FamousIntel, TheCityCeleb, CelebsWiki — say $6 million, $8 million, or $8–10 million. Both camps cannot be right about the same year, and the way to settle it is to check the dates, because the disagreement is a timeline, not a mystery.

The $8 million figure was the consensus for years. TVOverMind’s November 2025 reporting traces the trajectory: about $2 million in 2018, rising to roughly $8 million by the end of his SNL run in 2022, and still $8 million in 2024. Then, on September 4, 2025, Celebrity Net Worth — the outlet every other page cites — cut the figure to $4 million. Parade’s January 1, 2026, profile, which cites Celebrity Net Worth, prints $4 million. TVOverMind, updated November 19, 2025, prints $4 million. The $6 million and $8–10 million figures on the 2026 bio pages are unsourced aggregator guesses with no methodology behind them, and the $8 million pages are recycling a number that was retired more than a year ago.

Why would a working actor’s estimated net worth fall by half in a year? The tracker does not explain its math, and this profile will not invent an explanation. What the record shows is a career that changed shape after SNL. The steady network salary ended in 2022. The film work that followed — The Suicide Squad, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Dumb Money, Dog Man, Riff Raff, The Home, The Pickup — kept him visible but paid undisclosed fees. The Peacock series Bupkis lasted one season. And 2026 brought a $400,000 loss on a condo sale. A tracker that weighs recent earnings against spending and taxes could reasonably land lower than the peak-year estimate. The point of this profile is not to defend the $4 million figure as exact — no estimate is exact — but to date it honestly: $4 million is the current figure from the most-cited tracker, $8 million is the peak, and any page that prints $8 million as the 2026 number is stale.

The Trajectory: Million to Million to Million

The trajectory is the article’s main edge over every competitor, because no other page on the first page of results gives it. Most pages print one number with no history. This one prints the history, and the history is what makes the current number believable: a fortune that rose with eight seasons of network television, peaked the year the salary stopped, and settled lower as the work changed. Davidson is 32 years old, and the shape of his wealth — early peak, then a plateau — is common for performers whose biggest contract is a television salary. The next peak, if one comes, will be built on something else: a hit film, a long-running show, or the podcast that launched in January 2026.

SNL Pay: ,000 an Episode to ,000

Saturday Night Live is the foundation of Davidson’s fortune, and its pay structure is one of the few parts of his money story that is documented. He joined in 2014, in season 40, at $3,000 per episode, according to Celebrity Net Worth via Parade and TVOverMind — roughly $60,000 to $63,000 for a full season. By the end of his run, his peak rate was $15,000 per episode, or about $315,000 a year across a 21-episode season. Across eight seasons and 163 episodes, per IMDb’s count, the SNL salary alone accounts for well over $1 million of career earnings — the steadiest money he has ever made.

One correction matters here, because several rankers get it wrong. The $25,000-per-episode figure that appears on TheCityCeleb, SRCWAP, and GOBankingRates is the top band for SNL cast members generally — the rate the longest-serving stars reach. It is not Davidson’s rate. Celebrity Net Worth puts his peak at $15,000, and Parade’s looser line — that he “earned upwards of $500,000 per year” before leaving in 2022 — does not survive the arithmetic: 21 episodes at $15,000 is $315,000. This profile uses the $315,000 math because it is the sourced figure, and it treats Parade’s half-million line as loose rounding rather than a fact.

The SNL salary also explains the gap between his peak net worth and his peak fame. A comedian who earns $315,000 a year for eight years, pays New York taxes and living costs, and spends on the things Davidson spent on — houses, a ferry, tattoo removal reportedly costing around $200,000 — does not accumulate $8 million from salary alone. The rest came from the film work, the specials, the endorsements, and the deals that followed the fame. SNL made him famous. The money after SNL is where the fortune was built — and where, after 2022, it stopped growing as fast.

Staten Island Beginnings: Losing His Father at Seven

Peter Michael Davidson was born on November 16, 1993, on Staten Island, New York City. He is 32 years old in November 2026 and turns 33 on November 16. He stands 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) by the widely reported figure — the one Wikipedia, DailyWikiBio, SRCWAP, and CelebsWiki agree on, with WriteMiner giving a 6 ft 2 in to 6 ft 3 in range and one outlier site claiming 6 ft 1 in. The height is not the story. The story is what happened when he was seven.

His father, Scott Matthew Davidson, was a New York City firefighter. He died in the September 11, 2001, attacks, when Pete was seven years old. His mother, Amy Waters Davidson, raised Pete and his younger sister Casey alone. The loss is the defining fact of Davidson’s life, and it is the subject of his best work: The King of Staten Island, the 2020 film he co-wrote with Judd Apatow, is a fictionalized version of his own story — a young man on Staten Island, stuck, grieving, and funny about it. His daughter’s name carries the same history. Scottie Rose, born December 12, 2025, is named for Scott, his father, and Rose, Elsie Hewitt’s middle name.

Davidson has been open about the mental-health consequences. He was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, revealed in 2017 and 2018, and lives with severe PTSD. He has been to rehab more than once: December 2016, June to July 2023 — after which he told an audience in September 2023 that he was “fresh out of rehab” and joked “Seventh time’s the charm!” — and a wellness facility stay in late July 2024, confirmed by People on July 31, 2024. A November 2024 tabloid claim of a second rehab stint that year was denied by Maria Georgas herself on November 19, 2024, and this profile does not report it as fact. The honesty about his conditions is part of why audiences trust him: his comedy has always been built on saying the thing other people will not say, and his life gave him plenty of material.

First Jokes at Sixteen: A Bowling Alley Dare

Davidson did his first stand-up at 16, at a Staten Island bowling alley, on a dare. He graduated from Tottenville High School in 2012 and enrolled at St. Francis College, dropping out after one semester. The early television work was MTV: Guy Code, Wild ‘N Out, and Failosophy, with his first televised stand-up on Comedy Central’s Gotham Comedy Live. He was 20 years old, a kid from Staten Island with a dead father, a mental-health diagnosis, and a delivery that sounded like nothing else on television — flat, confessional, and funny in the same sentence.

The break came through Trainwreck, the 2015 Amy Schumer film, in which he had a small part. Bill Hader, who was in the film, recommended him for a Saturday Night Live audition. Davidson joined the cast in 2014 — the dates overlap because the audition and the film work ran together in the same period — in season 40, at age 20, one of the youngest cast members in the show’s history and the first born in the 1990s. He stayed for eight seasons, through May 2022, appearing in 163 episodes. He hosted the show on October 14, 2023, a year after leaving, and made a guest appearance in November 2025, joking about the ferry. That guest spot is sometimes described online as a return to the cast. It was not. He was a guest, and this profile says so plainly.

The SNL years made him famous in a way that had little to do with money. His Weekend Update appearances — the deadpan confessionals about his life, his relationships, his mental health — became the most talked-about segments on the show. The fame brought a different kind of attention: his relationships became tabloid news, his dating life became a punchline, and his name became shorthand for a certain kind of celebrity. The money from those years was modest by television standards — $315,000 a year at his peak — but the fame was the asset that paid for everything after.

Eight Seasons at SNL — and the Relationships That Followed

Davidson’s dating life has been covered more than his work, and the record is worth stating plainly because the coverage is often sloppy. He dated Cazzie David from 2016 to 2018. He was engaged to Ariana Grande in June 2018, and the engagement ended in October 2018. He dated Kate Beckinsale in 2019, Kaia Gerber in 2019 and 2020, Phoebe Dynevor in 2021, Kim Kardashian from October 2021 to August 2022, Chase Sui Wonders from 2022 to 2023, and Madelyn Cline from 2023 to 2024. He has never been married.

The Grande engagement, which lasted four months, produced one of the most famous pop songs of the decade — Grande’s “Pete Davidson,” on her Sweetener album — and a tabloid storm that followed him for years. The Kardashian relationship, which ran from October 2021 to August 2022, put him on a different level of fame entirely: the paparazzi, the red carpets, the constant coverage. Neither relationship made him money directly. Both made him more famous than his work alone would have, and fame is the currency that film casting directors and endorsement buyers trade in. Whether that trade was worth the cost is a question only Davidson can answer, and his comedy since has been full of jokes about the price.

The SNL exit, in May 2022, was his choice, and it came at the moment his film career was starting to move. He had spent eight years as the youngest person in the room. He left to be the lead in his own projects, and the next four years tested whether the fame could convert into a career without the weekly show behind it. The answer, measured in net worth, is that it converted partially: the fortune peaked at $8 million in the year he left, and it has not grown since.

Films: King of Staten Island, Suicide Squad, and the Pay Nobody Discloses

Davidson’s film career is the largest part of his post-SNL work, and it is also the part with the least public money data. His film and streaming pay is undisclosed across the board — Parade states this explicitly for each project — so this profile gives the roles and the context, and does not guess at fees. The work itself is substantial. The King of Staten Island (2020), co-written with Judd Apatow and starring Davidson as a fictionalized version of himself, is the film that matters most: it turned his father’s death, his grief, and his Staten Island life into a story that critics took seriously, and it remains his best-reviewed performance.

The rest of the filmography runs from 2021 to 2025. He played Blackguard in The Suicide Squad (2021). He starred in Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022), voiced Mirage in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023), made cameos in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Fast X (both 2023), and appeared in Dumb Money (2023). In 2025 he voiced Petey in Dog Man, appeared in Riff Raff with Bill Murray, starred in the horror film The Home, and played Travis Stolly in The Pickup, the Amazon MGM film with Eddie Murphy and Keke Palmer released in August 2025. None of these roles paid a publicly reported fee. That is not unusual — most supporting film pay is private — but it means the film career cannot be valued from the outside, and any page that puts a dollar figure on a specific film role is guessing.

Television filled the gaps. He created and starred in Bupkis on Peacock in 2023, a semi-autobiographical comedy that was renewed for a second season — and then he backed out of the second season, per Variety’s reporting, a decision that ended the show after one run. The reported $500,000-per-episode figure for Bupkis appears only in CEO Today Magazine, a single weak source, and this profile does not use it. He also plays Pete Nolan, the half-brother of John Nolan, on The Rookie: he debuted in season 2, returned in season 4, and has not appeared since. Showrunner Alexi Hawley told People in January 2026 that the show is “always hopeful” for a season 8 return. Some content farms misreport the role entirely — one claims he played “a disgruntled customer” in a season 5 episode — and the correction is a small authority win this profile is happy to take.

His stand-up specials track the same arc. SMD came out on Comedy Central in 2016. Alive from New York arrived on Netflix in 2020. Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends followed on Netflix in 2022. Turbo Fonzarelli, the Netflix special recorded at the Wellmont Theater, is dated January 2024 — one bio says 2023, but the consensus is 2024, and this profile uses 2024. The specials paid undisclosed fees, like the films. The pattern across his whole post-SNL career is the same: steady work, real credits, and no public price tags. That is why the tracker estimate fell. A fortune built on disclosed salaries is easy to count. A fortune built on undisclosed fees is not, and trackers tend to mark it down.

The Ferry: 0,100 for a 277-Foot Boat

The strangest purchase of Davidson’s career is also the most famous. In 2022, he bought a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry at public auction with Colin Jost and Paul Italia for $280,100. The boat is 277 feet long. Jost told People in September 2024 that it was the “dumbest and least thought-through purchase I’ve ever made.” Davidson has treated it as a joke and a project in equal measure ever since, and the joke has outlasted the criticism: on SmartLess in May 2026, Jost pushed back on the “money pit” framing, saying events held on the boat had recouped much of the investment.

The ferry’s second act came on September 17, 2026, when it became the “Snapple Island Ferry,” a floating comedy club for one night, sponsored by Snapple. A month later, in October 2026, Davidson said on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he plans to pass the ferry to his daughter Scottie Rose. The line was a joke, and it was also a statement of intent: the boat that began as an impulse purchase at auction is now, in his telling, a family heirloom. No net figure exists for the ferry — nobody has published what it costs to maintain or what the events earn — so this profile presents both sides and no total. The purchase price is $280,100. Everything after that is uncounted.

The ferry matters to the net-worth story because it is the clearest example of how Davidson spends. He does not buy yachts or watches. He buys a decommissioned ferry with his friend from SNL, and then he turns it into a comedy club. The purchase is funny, impractical, and public — the same combination that defines his comedy. It is also, at $280,100, a small fraction of his fortune. The condo loss, by contrast, was four hundred thousand dollars. The ferry is the headline. The condo is the money.

Real Estate: The 0,000 Condo Loss

The freshest money story of Davidson’s 2026 is a loss. He bought a Staten Island condo at 90 Bay Street Landing in December 2020 for $1.2 million, listed it in late 2022 at $1.3 million, and sold it on May 13, 2026, for $800,000 — a $400,000 loss before renovation costs, according to the New York Post via Realtor.com on May 15, 2026, corroborated by roundups in October 2026. One conflict needs noting: DeFalco Realty and NetflixJunkie reported about $850,000 in April 2026, but that was the February asking price and a pre-close report. The closed sale price is $800,000, and the loss is $400,000.

The second property is still on the market. He bought a six-acre estate in North Salem, New York, in June 2023 for $1.95 million, listed it in February 2026 at $2.495 million, and cut the price to $2.275 million by March 2026. As of the May 2026 reporting, it had not sold. The two properties together describe a real-estate position that has not performed: one sold at a large loss, one listed above its purchase price and cut twice without a buyer. None of this proves a financial crisis — a $4 million net worth absorbs a $400,000 loss — but it does explain, in concrete terms, why a tracker might mark an estimate down. Houses are where paper wealth becomes real money, and Davidson’s houses have not made him any.

There are two more properties in the record, with less detail. He bought his mother Amy a $1.3 million Staten Island home in 2016, per Parade — a gift, not an investment. He later moved to a Brooklyn Heights penthouse, reported by Architectural Digest via Parade, with no established date or price. This profile keeps that one vague because the sources do. The verifiable real-estate story is the condo and the North Salem estate, and both point the same way: down.

Endorsements and Pebble Bar

Davidson’s endorsement work is documented by brand, and undocumented by fee — the same pattern as his film pay. Parade’s January 2026 profile names Taco Bell, Manscaped, Smartwater, Totino’s, and Hellmann’s, including Super Bowl commercials for the last of those. Lower-tier reporting adds an Axe “Short Kings” campaign and Verizon ads in 2025. No dollar figure exists for any of these deals, and this profile does not invent one. The Smartwater campaign in 2024 and 2025 is worth a mention for a different reason: it centered on his tattoo removal, turning a personal project into an advertisement.

The business venture with the clearest record is Pebble Bar, a New York City bar he part-owns with Mark Ronson, Nicholas Braun, Justin Theroux, and Jason Sudeikis. It opened in February 2022. No revenue figure is public. A second claimed venture — a Shark Tank pitch for DoubleSoul socks, seeking $500,000 for 4 percent equity — appears only in CEO Today Magazine’s November 2025 profile, a single weak source, and this profile flags it as unverified rather than claiming it. The rule across this whole section is the same: named brands and named partners are facts; dollar figures without a second source are not.

Fatherhood in 2026: Scottie Rose, the Split, and the Co-Parenting Deal

The most important fact in Davidson’s 2026 is not a dollar figure. It is his daughter. He went public with Elsie Hewitt in March 2025. The pregnancy was announced on July 16, 2025. Their daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, was born on December 12, 2025, and the birth was announced on Instagram on December 18, 2025, per WHO and iHeart reporting from December 19, 2025. The name honors his late father, Scott, and Elsie’s middle name, Rose. Parade’s January 1, 2026, profile — the same profile that confirms the $4 million net worth — still says in its “Does Pete Davidson have a kid?” section that Elsie is pregnant and he has no children. It was published after the birth. That error is the clearest sign of how stale the first page of results is, and this profile corrects it.

The relationship did not last. Davidson and Hewitt split in May 2026, about five months after the birth, per The Sun via Realtor.com on May 15, 2026. Hewitt posted on TikTok and Instagram that month saying she was parenting largely alone, per IBTimes SG and Us Weekly reporting. In July 2026, the couple reached a joint co-parenting agreement, per a Page Six statement reported by FemaleFirst on November 2, 2026, and by Just Jared on November 1, 2026. On November 1, 2026, they reunited for Scottie’s first Halloween, in matching Sopranos costumes, per Just Jared and FemaleFirst. In an Interview Magazine profile in September 2026, Davidson called fatherhood a “blessing” and said he was determined not to mess it up. The arc — birth, split, co-parenting deal, Halloween reunion — is the full 2026 story no competitor page has assembled, and it is the reason this profile exists in November rather than January.

One figure this profile will not print: child support. IBTimes SG noted speculation in May 2026 about “tens of thousands per month,” but no court filings exist, and no outlet has confirmed a number. A speculated figure is not a fact, and a child-support number about a real infant is not a detail to guess at. The co-parenting agreement exists. Its terms do not, publicly.

Health, Rehab, and the Tattoos Coming Off

Davidson’s health history is public because he made it public, on stage and in interviews, and this profile reports it with the same care he has shown in telling it. The borderline personality disorder diagnosis came out in 2017 and 2018. The PTSD is severe and long-standing. The rehab stays are dated: December 2016, June to July 2023, and a wellness facility in late July 2024, the last confirmed by People on July 31, 2024. The March 2023 car crash — a Mercedes into a Beverly Hills home, with Chase Sui Wonders as a passenger — ended in a reckless driving charge and 50 hours of community service in July 2023.

The tattoos are the most visible part of the story. He has more than 200 of them, and he has been removing them since around 2020. The reported cost, about $200,000, comes from Page Six via LADbible in March 2025 — a single-source chain, so this profile presents it as “reportedly.” The removal is not cosmetic vanity. It is a career decision: the tattoos limited the roles he could play without hours in the makeup chair, and the Smartwater campaign built its 2024 and 2025 advertising around the process. The man who once covered himself in ink is paying to take it off, and the cost of the removal is itself a line in the net-worth story — one more expense that a $315,000-a-year salary does not easily absorb.

Two claims this profile does not repeat: a November 2024 tabloid report of a second rehab stint that year, denied by Maria Georgas herself, and an October 2026 tabloid claim about concussions and “brain damage,” which rests on a single tabloid source. Both fail the two-source rule. The verified health story — diagnosis, rehab stays, crash, tattoo removal — is complete without them.

2026: The Pete Davidson Show and How to Rob a Bank

Davidson’s 2026 work has a new shape. On January 14, 2026, Netflix announced The Pete Davidson Show, the platform’s first original video podcast, which premiered on January 30, 2026, with weekly Friday episodes filmed in his garage, per TechCrunch’s January 14 reporting. A SAG-AFTRA agreement covered the new format. The show is the clearest sign of where his career is heading: away from the film sets that paid undisclosed fees, and toward a format he controls, recorded at home, on a schedule he sets. It is also the project that best fits a new father. The garage is ten steps from the nursery.

The film work continues alongside it. How to Rob a Bank, an Amazon MGM film directed by David Leitch, with Nicholas Hoult and Zoë Kravitz, casts Davidson as Vince, a military veteran. It opens in theaters on November 20, 2026, per Filmfare’s November 6, 2026, reporting. Next is Killing Satoshi, directed by Doug Liman, which was set to begin filming after that. Neither project’s pay is public, and this profile does not guess at either. What is public is the direction of travel: a comedian who spent his twenties on someone else’s stage is spending his thirties building his own — a podcast in his garage, a film career on his terms, and a daughter whose name honors the father he lost at seven.

The net worth, in the end, is the least interesting number in this profile. Four million dollars is a lot of money, and it is half of what the internet said a year ago, and both facts are true at once. The fortune peaked when the television salary was at its highest, and it settled when the work changed. What has not settled is the career: a Netflix podcast, a November film release, a ferry that is now a comedy club, and a co-parenting agreement that seems to be working. The money will follow the work, or it will not. The work, in 2026, is the story.

Sources & Reporting

This profile was reported from live sources in November 2026. Celebrity Net Worth’s September 4, 2025, update supplied the $4 million anchor, confirmed by Parade’s January 1, 2026, profile and TVOverMind’s November 2025 reporting, which also supplied the $2 million to $8 million trajectory and the SNL salary figures. Wikipedia supplied the birth date, the filmography, the SNL episode count, and the career timeline. The New York Post via Realtor.com (May 15, 2026) supplied the $800,000 condo sale and the $400,000 loss, with the $850,000 asking-price conflict noted from DeFalco Realty and NetflixJunkie. Realtor.com and Vibe News supplied the North Salem listing and price cuts. The Blast (October 9, 2026), Parade, and SiriusXM supplied the $280,100 ferry price; People (September 2024) supplied Jost’s “dumbest purchase” line, and SmartLess (May 2026) supplied his pushback on the “money pit” framing. WHO and iHeart (December 19, 2025) supplied the December 12, 2025, birth of Scottie Rose; Page Six via FemaleFirst (November 2, 2026) and Just Jared (November 1, 2026) supplied the co-parenting agreement and the Halloween reunion. TechCrunch (January 14, 2026) supplied The Pete Davidson Show announcement, and Filmfare (November 6, 2026) supplied the November 20, 2026, release date for How to Rob a Bank. People (July 31, 2024) supplied the July 2024 wellness stay. Where sources disagreed — the net worth ($4 million vs $8 million), the SNL pay ($15,000 vs $25,000 per episode), the condo price ($800,000 vs $850,000), and his height (6 ft 3 in vs 6 ft 1 in) — this profile says so and explains why, rather than picking one number and hiding the rest. Figures are updated when new reporting emerges; corrections can be sent via the About page.
