What Is Ben Foster’s Net Worth?

How Does Ben Foster Make Money?
The star has been steadily working as an actor since he was a teenager. Ben got his big break in 1995 on the Disney Channel series Flash Forward, starring in 26 episodes through 1997. After that, the Boston, Massachusetts, native made the jump to film, landing a role in director Barry Levinson‘s 1999 dramedy Liberty Heights.
Critics took notice, as Todd McCarthy in Variety praised Ben’s breakout performance. He wrote, “[Adrien ]Brody emerges from the promise that he has long displayed with a very ingratiating central turn, while TV thesp Foster makes an outstanding big screen debut as his cautiously precocious younger brother.”
Ben went on to appear on such TV series as Freaks and Geeks, Family Law and Boston Public before landing the role of Russell Corwin, Claire Fisher’s art school friend on HBO’s Six Feet Under in 2003.
While starring in 22 episodes of the series, Ben continued to work in film, appearing in 2003’s 11:14 and 2004’s The Punisher. He starred opposite Justin Timberlake in 2006’s Alpha Dog and appeared as Warren Worthington III in X-Men: The Last Stand the same year.
Ben continued to expand his horizons, starring opposite Christian Bale and Russell Crowe in 2007’s western, 3:10 to Yuma, and 2011’s Jason Statham action film The Mechanic. He’s continually worked on multiple projects per year with a busy schedule in both TV and film.
As of November 2024, Ben had three films in pre-production with another two in post-production.
The thespian has also wowed theater audiences, with 2014’s London West End production of A Streetcar Named Desire, playing Stanley Kowalski opposite Gillian Anderson‘s Blanche. The production moved to Broadway, where Ben continued to receive rave reviews.
Ben Foster Completely Commits Himself to His Roles
For his role in the 2013 film Lone Survivor, Ben went through a month of boot camp. He later revealed how he ate dirt to look more realistic as a Navy SEAL, after realizing he and his costars teeth were too Hollywood white.
“It was just, my God, these people are filthy and covered in blood and this is a real story and we’re surrounded by navy seals who are helping guide us, but they’ve got sparkling American f–king teeth and that felt somehow apprehensible. My instinct was just to grab some dirt and put it in my mouth,” Ben told The Guardian in 2022.
When he was cast as a Holocaust survivor in Barry Levinson’s 2021 film The Survivor, Ben visited the former concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
“I needed to put my hands on the rails and listen. It sounded like the birds have still not returned. You see those piles of baby shoes, you see the piles of people’s belongings: their toothbrushes become these objects that defy thought,” he explained to the outlet.
What Did Ben Foster Ask for in His Divorce From Laura Prepon?
When Ben filed for divorce from the Orange Is the New Black alum in November 2024, the star asked the court to enforce a prenuptial agreement he claimed he and Laura signed prior to their wedding in 2018. He revealed in court documents obtained by In Touch that the pair initially separated a year prior on September 9, 2023.
The Emancipation actor cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for his split from Laura, saying in court documents that they were “unable to live together successfully as husband and wife.”
