Matt LeBlanc is one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood. From his beginnings with minor roles in series such as “Married with Children,” to the role that gave him worldwide fame in “Friends,” LeBlanc has had a successful career that earned him multiple awards and a very fat bank account.
LeBlanc is best known for his portrayal of Joey Tribbiani, a clueless, permanently broke actor with a heart of gold and a Don Juan attitude, who was a favorite of “Friends” fans.
The Newton, Massachusetts native played Tribbiani for the 11 years that the famous sitcom aired, plus another three on the spinoff “Joey.” These were the most prolific years of LeBlanc’s career.

What is Matt LeBlanc’s net worth?
According to sites like Celebrity Net Worth, LeBlanc has a net worth of around $85 million. Most of that is from his stint on “Friends,” though his later acting, hosting gigs, and occasional attempts at producing have also helped pad his bank account.
Press reports indicate that LeBlanc earned $22,500 per episode during the first season of “Friends.” However, the main cast adopted the tactic of negotiating their salaries in tandem so that for seasons 7 and 8, each earned $750,000 per episode, while for seasons 9 and 10, they earned a stunning $1 million each per episode.
What’s more, in later seasons, the cast managed to get paid royalties for reruns of the series in syndication and streaming. Thanks to this, each of them receives between $10 and $20 million annually in royalties.
