At the tender age of 16 years old, Owen Cooper from the United Kingdom has accomplished more than most stars could hope to achieve in an entire lifetime. After an incredible weekend during the 83rd Golden Globes award ceremony, where he won the award for the youngest supporting actor in television history, Owen has officially moved from being a Warrington drama student to the world "award machine."
However, due to the boy wonder’s swift success, industry insiders have already shifted their focus to the teen’s financial potential in the future. Although Netflix never usually breaks down the amount earned by its stars in exact figures, industry insiders have revealed that top-billed cast members of a major limited series may be capable of earning anything between 20,000 and 50,000 dollars in each episode. For a series consisting of four episodes in Adolescence, Owen has earned quite.
Estimated net worth of Owen is pegged between $5,00,000 and $7,50,000. But given Owen's age, a significant part of this is secured under Coogan Accounts to ensure that the money is not accessed until he is an adult.
A record-breaking run
Owen's sudden rise is something that remains grounded by his powerful performance in Adolescence, a psychological crime drama streaming on Netflix. This show, written and created by Philip Barantini and Stephen Graham, created a sensation and gained some 141 million views. However, Owen's performance as 13-year-old Jamie Miller, shot in single takes, has already fetched him an Emmy as well as a Critics' Choice Television Award and a Gotham TV Award.
During his acceptance of the Golden Globe on January 11, 2026, Owen was clearly overcome and even said, "To celebrate by accepting this Golden Globe nomination is an honor in itself."
Up next
The young actor is all set to star in Emerald Fennell’s long-anticipated 2026 version of Wuthering Heights as a young Heathcliff, sharing screen time with no lesser stars than Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. With his growing presence in BBC shows and indie movies, his net value could easily cross the $1 million barrier before he leaves school.
