Thanks to his days as a child star, Angus T. Jones was able to amass quite an impressive net worth. Despite all his wealth and fame, the actor decided to go off the map – choosing a path outside of Hollywood.
Will Jones return to acting? That remains to be seen, but given his low-key lifestyle out in California these days, it looks as though he is more than content with his current circumstances, and we don’t blame him.
In the following article, we will take a look at how Angus T. Jones was able to collect his fortune, while giving fans an update on his current status. In addition, we will explore his living arrangements and where he is residing now.
Updated on March 16, 2023: Angus T. Jones continues to stay out of the news, with few articles sharing pictures spotting him out in public a few times a year. Most recently, photos circulated in the summer of 2022 showing Jones walking out of a parking structure with his brother, the former actor sporting a long, grizzly beard. There has not been any recent news on Jones taking up a new job or buying new property, leading us to believe he is making his money last by staying close to home and spending time with his family.
Angus T. Jones Made $350,000 Per Episode At The Height Of His Two And A Half Men Fame
Although Angus T. Jones does not have the fondest memories of working on Two and a Half Men, following his time on the show, the actor showed plenty of regret. However, he can’t deny the positive impact the show made on his bank account. Angus T. Jones saw a massive spike in his wealth at his prime during the sitcom.
At one point in time, the child star was making money per episode that was unheard of for a teen, at $350,000 per episode. According to Celebrity Net Worth, that equaled between $9 million and $10 million per season.
His legacy as Jake is not something Jones enjoys looking back on, and according to the actor, his character was ‘filth.’ He elaborated on the subject several years ago to a journalist at The Hollywood Reporter. “Jake from Two and a Half Men means nothing. He is a non-existent character.”
“If you watch Two and a Half Men, 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.”

In the years that followed, Jones did mature and change his tune, apologizing to the show and the likes of Chuck Lorre for sharing such a strong opinion. Nonetheless, his entire perception of Hollywood changed, and the actor would pretty much leave the business behind.
“I got pretty doomsday with my thinking for a long time, but now I’m having fun and enjoying where I’m at,” Jones admitted. “I no longer feel like every step I take is on a land mine.” Those were Jones’ words to a reporter at EW. Clearly the star regretting some of his prior words, especially in regard to Two and a Half Men – the sitcom that gave him quite the career.
Jones decided on a different path, leaving the fame behind and attending the University of Colorado at Boulder. In addition, in 2016, Celebrity Net Worth notes that the actor took on a different career route, taking on a role alongside a multimedia and event production company.
“In 2016, Jones joined the management team of Tonight, a multimedia and event production company started by Justin Combs and Kene Orijoke,” the publication states.
These days, Angus T. Jones continues to live a quiet life, with reports few and far between. As far as the most recent news goes, the former actor was spotted out in LA, enjoying a quiet dinner while rocking quite the beard.
His living arrangement is a bit of mystery as well, with the last update stating that the actor is living out of a beautiful home in Glendale, California.
Angus T. Jones’ Last Known House Purchase Came In 2007 At A Worth Of $1.595 Million
With a lot of money in the bank, it is entirely possible Jones has moved, or purchased another home as well since 2007. However, according to Virtual Globe Trotting, his home was purchased under his mom’s name as a teen way back in 2007 over in Glendale, California.
The home had a worth of $1.595 million, but given the change in the housing market, especially in California, we have reason to believe the home is worth more than a few million more these days, likely triple.
Details of the home are limited, though it does include a stunning pool.
