Just five months after moving to Los Angeles in 2009, Steven Yeun was cast as Glenn Rhee on the now-legendary The Walking Dead (via GQ). Becoming a cult-fave actor, Yeun was catapulted into fame, setting him up for other interesting, unexpected roles. While working on the AMC show, the actor also appeared on TV series like The Big Bang Theory, Law & Order: LA, American Dad!, and Voltron: Legendary Defender (via IMDb). The Seoul-born actor secured his place in Hollywood, going on to score iconic movie roles like playing K in Bong Joon-ho's Okja, and Squeeze in Sorry to Bother You, which undoubtedly contributed to both fame and financial success.

So what is Steven Yeun's estimated net worth? After a decade-plus acting career, he has accumulated a net worth of $4 million (via Celebrity Net Worth). But according to Screen Rant, the actor's impressive bank account is due to much more than just television and film. While his emblematic roles in The Walking Dead and Minari surely paid very well, the Burning actor is also a "major investor" in an L.A. Korean-Mediterranean restaurant called The Bun Shop. Co-owned by his brother Brian, the restaurant is a steady revenue stream for the actor.

With upcoming roles in 2021's Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans and The Humans, plus a 2022 still-unnamed Jordan Peele film (via IMDb), there's no doubt Yeun's star (and net worth!) will continue to rise.
