Sebastian Stan has come a long way since dazzling audiences as Carter Baizen in iconic teen drama Gossip Girl. Not only is he an integral part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he’s also been embracing the kind of challenging performances that showcase his versatility in recent years.
As a result, his net worth should be substantial by now, right? Here’s what we know about the actor’s earnings.
Sebastian Stan Net Worth
In 2026, Sebastian Stan’s net worth is estimated to be $10 million.
The bulk comes from his acting career. Born in Romania, Stan relocated to Austria and eventually to the US, where he became interested in acting.
He started with a bunch of smaller roles in TV shows and movies. As far as his early career is concerned, you might remember him from The Architect and The Covenant. In 2007, he began to play Carter Baizen, a charming guy with a dark side on Gossip Girl. The fact that the teen drama was incredibly popular was the cherry on top.
Before long, Stan would nab bigger roles in TV shows Kings, Political Animals, and Once Upon a Time. His filmography also grew with titles like Rachel Getting Married, Hot Tub Time Machine, and Black Swan.
In 2011, Stan made his debut as Bucky Barnes in Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger. Initially introduced as Steve Rogers’ childhood friend, Bucky became one of the MCU’s most important characters when he returned in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as the brainwashed assassin known as the Winter Soldier. He’s been a steady presence since, appearing in Captain America standalone movies, crossover events like Avengers: Endgame, TV series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and more recently Thunderbolts.
Outside of the MCU, the actor had a slew of memorable appearances in films The Martian, Logan Lucky, I, Tonya, I’m Not Here, Endings, Beginnings, The Devil All the Time, The 355, Fresh, Sharper, and Dumb Money, to name only a few. He also played Tommy Lee in 2022 series Pam & Tommy.
Fast-forward to 2024, one of the most challenging years of Stan’s career. In A Different Man, he played an aspiring actor with neurofibromatosis who undergoes an experimental procedure only to confront unexpected questions about identity. In The Apprentice, he portrayed a young Donald Trump, carefully studying archival footage to reproduce his voice and physicality. The role brought him his first Academy Award nomination.
Besides acting, Stan also dabbled in producing.
