Chris Pratt thought he had enough money after his first paycheck – and spent it all

Chris Pratt has been financially secure since “Guardians of the Galaxy” at the latest. But he had this feeling before – wrongly. In the radio show “Sway In The Morning” the actor spoke about his first big windfall – and revealed that it didn’t last long. “I had lived on very little money for a long time and the first big job I got was a TV movie. I got $75,000,” he says in

With the check for 75,000 US dollars, the equivalent of around 69,000 euros, he had the feeling “that I would never run out of money.” That’s why Pratt invested the sum directly in trips around the world, visiting Hawaii and Australia, among other places. In his youthful recklessness, the American even considered buying a yacht. “And about two months later I asked myself: ‘Where did the money go?!'” he explains.

Chriss Pratt: Awareness of finances came late

Only then did the Hollywood star realize that he had to be more careful with his money. Due to a lack of opportunities, he never learned how to handle assets in a healthy way. For Pratt, developing a financial plan to secure his family was therefore “one of the steps in my coming of age.”

Today, Chris Pratt no longer has to worry about his finances. In 2002, the television series “Everwood” made him famous. In recent years, he has increasingly appeared in action films and has played leading roles in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Passengers”, among others.

In addition, the 44-year-old’s financial security should also be provided by his marriage: He has been married to Katherine Schwarzenegger (34), daughter of action legend Arnold Schwarzenegger (76), since 2019.
