Film salaries and documented backend participation.

Disclosed paydays enter as reported, with citations. Undisclosed lead roles use the median of disclosed salaries for their era and budget band, capped at 15% of the film's budget, and supporting or early-career roles use the documented pre-stardom fraction of that median. We subtract sourced representation fees, taxes for the years Kenan actually worked, and spending from measured savings behavior, then compound at real market returns. Undocumented backend, endorsements, and producing credits enter as estimated lines from disclosed medians. Every rate and source is published.

It varies by role and era, and the film-by-film table above lists the pay counted for every title. Disclosed paydays enter as reported. Undisclosed roles are modeled from what comparable actors earned in the same era and budget range, with lead roles after the breakthrough earning the most and supporting or early roles a documented fraction of that.

Tax comes out at the effective rate for where Kenan lived each year, which is the rate shown in the year-by-year table. In a high-tax state like California, combined federal and state income tax reaches close to half of a top earner's income, so those years run in the mid-40s percent. A loan-out company, the corporation many actors run their income through, does not lower the tax on the money they take home. Its real advantage is deducting business costs such as agent, manager, and attorney fees, and the model already subtracts those as a separate line before any tax is applied. High-earning performers also fall outside the pass-through business deduction that other company owners can claim, so it buys them no rate cut.

Most sites publish a single number with no way to check it. This estimate is built in the open: every salary, rate, and assumption is on the page, and the methodology page lists every source.

No net worth estimate for a private individual is exact; this one is a model built from public data. The difference is that you can see how it was built and check every step. The confidence grade near the top of the calculation shows how much of the figure rests on disclosed numbers, and the page flags where a number leans on an assumption.
