Adam Sandler Net Worth: After Sony Leak, Is ‘Happy Gilmore’ Net Worth Suffering?

The Saturday Night Live alumnus is one of the richest comedians in the world, with a fortune that goes up to the hundreds of millions of dollars, even if Sony employees seem to think that his movies aren't good - but what is Adam Sandler's net worth?

The latest leak of Sony Pictures e-mails has put a lot of people on the line, like when it came out that the actresses from "American Hustle" - namely Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence - were paid less than their male counterparts. Now, is Adam Sandler's net worth on the line as well?

According to ABC News, one of the most shocking revelations the Sony Pictures leak has made public is that Sony employees are really not a fan of the comedian's work - even considering how high Adam Sandler's net worth is, it's obvious that his humor is not everyone's cup of tea.

Not long after the leak, the company released a statement saying that no such exchange had happened and that they greatly valued their relationship with the comedian, saying it was an "enormously successful partnership" that they would like to see going on "forever". In other words, at least for Sony executives, it's clear that Adam Sandler's net worth is important, in so much as they've also been making a lot of money from his movies.

Ever since his days on SNL, Adam Sandler has been one of the most successful comedians in Hollywood, as he's released a lot of films with his particular style of humor, which is a bit goofy and fairly self-deprecating. He has starred in a few romantic comedy films like "Happy Gilmore" and a couple of Drew Barrymore ones ("The Wedding Singer" and "50 First Dates"), some more serious stuff like "Funny People" and even a racy semi political comedy like "You Don't Mess With the Zohan."

Currently, Adam Sandler's net worth stands at $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, with a salary of $20 million by film plus revenues - the fruits of a career that has spanned about 20 years!
