Angus T. Jones Net Worth $15 Million
With the dream of become an actor, Angus T. Jones appeared in a variety of television projects, debuting in 1999 with a small role in the movie called “Simpatico” with Nick Nolte and Sharon Stone, in which he portrayed a five-year-old. Jones’ debut helped him land a main role two years later in the comedy film “See Spot Run”, in which his co-stars were David Arquette, Anthony Anderson and Paul Sorvino. That same year, Angus took part in the play entitled “Dinner with Friends”, and the medical drama series “ER”. He also starred in the comedy film “Bringing Down the House” with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah, and the film “George of the Jungle 2” with Julie Benz and Thomas Haden Church. All helped the steady rise of his net worth.
As Angus T. Jones’ fame grew, his successful film appearances gained him an offer to appear in one of the most famous television sitcoms – “Two and a Half Man”. The sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn featured charactehers portrayed by Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, and Holland Taylor among others. The very popular show aired for 12 seasons until early 2015, and clearly enjoyed huge support from viewers, as the average viewership for the premieres and finales was over 10 million viewers.
Angus T. Jones’ character enjoyed great success, which is only proven by the $7.8 million contract that Jones signed with the creators of the show in 2010. Considered to be the highest paid child star in the television industry, Angus T. Jones appeared in 10 seasons of the show and starred in 212 episodes. However, due to his religious beliefs, Jones decided to leave the show and even though he was supposed to make an appearance in the 11th season, Jones never returned, actually chastising himself for being a part of a show which conflicted with his religious beliefs.
Since his departure, Angus T. Jones has been working on his solo projects, and has continued to appear on the television screens, in “Horace and Pete” in 2016.
In his personal life, there is no information or even rumours about romance for Angus. Meantime, he’s believed to be undertaking studies at the University of Colorado. He is also working with charities, concentrating particularly on alleviating stress for disadvantaged children.

If you watch Two and a Half Men (2003), please stop watching Two and a Half Men. I'm on Two and a Half Men, and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it, and filling your head with filth. People say it's just entertainment. Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you'll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch.

Angus was the first child whom the casting crew saw for the role of Jake on Two and a Half Men (2003). They liked him so much that they cast him immediately. Angus found out he had the job just as he was leaving the audition. "It was great not having to have the anticipation of a phone call," he said.
