Frankie Muniz Net Worth $40 Million
Muniz started his acting career at a young age of eight years as he was discovered at a talent show in Raleigh, North Carolina, to where his family had moved. He firstly performed in commercials, and his first TV film role was in “Dance With Olivia” in 1997. He then had a small role in the movie “Lost and Found” which did not add a lot to his net worth, but provided him a way to a major role on “Malcolm in the Middle”. The first and second episodes of the series were watched by audiences of 23 and 26 million respectively, which certainly encouraged additions to his net worth, and saw him nominated for an Emmy Award in 2001, and also earned him two Golden Globe Award nominations. In 2001 he was the number one in Satellite Awards in the category Best Performance by an Actor in a Series: Comedy or Musical.
During the next six years, Frankie appeared in over 25 productions on TV and the big screen, including “The Simpsons”, “Dr. Dolittle 2”, “Deuces Wild” and “Criminal Minds”, before deciding to take a break from acting in 2008, and try to make a career as a race car driver, an idea originating as early as 2005 when he won a Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race as a guest participant. In the fallowing year he took part in fourteen Formula BMW USA races but was not very successful, and in 2007 Muniz competed in the Champ Car Atlantic Series where his best result was ninth place which increased Frankie’s net worth with $17,000. The next year Muniz won Jovy Marcelo Award in the Atlantic Championship, but the risks were hardly worth the rewards.
In 2004 had Frankie written his first screenplay for the TV show “Granted”. The same year he produced the movie “Choose Your Own Adventure: The Abominable Snowman“, which contributed to Frankie Muniz’ net worth.
