The Net Worth of Milo Ventimiglia
How rich is Milo Ventimiglia? As of mid-2018, sources inform us of a net worth estimated at over $5 million, mostly earned through a successful career in acting. He’s also appeared in numerous films throughout his career, and as he continues his endeavors, it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.
Early Life and Education
Milo was born as the youngest child, with two older sisters, to father Peter who is a Vietnam War veteran, and mother Carol, of mixed Scottish, English and Italian (Sicilian) descent. He was born with what was called a crooked mouth as a result of damaged nerves on the left side of his mouth similar to that of Sylvester Stallone. He attended El Modena High School and during his time there, acted in drama productions.
After matriculating in 1995, he enrolled in the American Conservatory Theatre to study for their summer program, then continued his studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with theatre as his major. Around this time, he started pursuing acting roles too, and appeared in the short film “Must Be the Music” in the role of a gay teenager. He then landed a role in the TV series “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”, before going on to make guest appearances in numerous other television series, including “CSI:Crime Scene Investigation” and “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”.
Gilmore Girls and Heroes
In 2002, Ventimiglia joined the cast of the series “Gilmore Girls” during its second season, in the role of brooding teen Jess Mariano, and would continue in the role for the next two seasons. A spin-off of “Gilmore Girls” called “Windward Circle” based on his character was proposed, but it never found any traction. He became a recurring member of the show before ending his run, but around this time, he also appeared in “American Dreams”, and “The Bedford Diaries’.
Concurrent with television work, he also appeared in numerous films, mostly in supporting roles, in such as “Rocky Balboa”, “Stay Alive” and “Cursed”. In 2006, he became a part of the television show “Heroes” as Peter Petrelli, which is about a group of people discovering they have superpowers, staying with the show until its conclusion in 2010. During this time, his popularity grew significantly, and he was involved in the music video “Big Girls Don’t Cry” by Fergie, and had a role in the horror film “Pathology”, which co-starred Alyssa Milano.
