Seann William Scott's staggering monthly earnings revealed despite only being paid $8,000 for American Pie

Here is the whopping amount that American Pie actor Seann William Scott makes per month, despite being paid a rather humble salary for his role in the infamous late 90s comedy.

The US actor is best known for his breakout role as Steve Stifler in the coming-of-age film series, as well as appearances in Road Trip, Final Destination and being the voice of Crash in the Ice Age films.

So, how much does an actor whose best known role is playing the top sh*gger in a film franchise about a bunch of kids graduating from school, losing their virginity and attending college actually earn?

Quite a lot, actually.

Scott's earnings were recently made public as part of the divorce proceedings between the actor and soon-to-be ex-wife Olivia Korenberg. The couple were married for four years and share a daughter together.

Court documents revealing the actor's monthly incomings and outgoings were recently revealed by US Weekly, with the 48-year-old making an average of two annual salaries every month in residuals, interest payments and dividends.

According to the documents, he makes $45,000 (£33,400) in royalties and a further $31,000 (£23,000) from dividends/interest payments.

In total, it's believed that he takes home around $110,000 (£81,000) every month. And Scott's assets don't end there either.

In addition to this, the actor has a further $158,000 (£117,480) stashed away in savings accounts as well as $12,285,322 (£9,134,751) in stocks and a property portfolio totalling $18,781,328 (£13,964,856).

He's also the owner of a Mini Cooper, estimated value $30,000 (£22,306), a Honda Passport worth $55,000 (£40,895), around $171,000 (£127,147) worth of furniture, $93,000 (£69,150) of artwork and hundreds of pounds worth of jewellery.

The Shifting Gears actor's net worth has led to him developing a pretty impressive taste, with outgoings totalling $59,039 (£43,901). These include:

• $15,000 (£11,153) in property taxes
• $5,000 (£3,717) in repairs
• $2,500 (£1,858) on food shopping
• $1,500 (£1,115) on eating out
• $2,000 (£1,487) on utilities
• $500 (£371) on his mobile phone
• $1,500 (£1,115) on clothes
• $1,500 (£1,115) on entertainment
• $11,000 (£8,179) on other bills

Meanwhile, he has also claimed to have forked out around $500,000 (£371,720) for his divorce from Korenberg.

All in all, this isn't bad going considering that Scott's breakout role as Stifler earned him a paltry $8,000 (£6,000) back in 1999.

Revealing the surprisingly low amount during a game of 'Celebrity True or False' on The Rich Eisen Show, Scott said: "I think [that's right], yeah because I remember afterwards I bought a used Thunderbird, for like $5,000 (£3,800), maybe $6,000 (£4,600)."

"I don't know what happened to the other two grand," he added, saying that he even had to work as a 'churro guy' in a Los Angeles zoo to make ends meet while waiting for the American Pie to come out.

If only the Seann William Scott of summer 1999 could see him now.
