‘The Young And The Restless’ Eric Braeden’s 2022 Net Worth Revealed
After 45 years of playing Victor Newman, Eric Braeden’s 2022 net worth is nothing to scoff at. The actor has put in decades of hard work and, in terms of wealth, it has paid off. He is one of the wealthiest soap opera stars today.
Mostly Small Roles And Soap Opera Stardom Have Made Up Braeden’s Career
While soap fans will recognize Braeden from The Young and the Restless, he has played a number of other small roles throughout his career. He even made a small appearance in the award-winning movie Titanic. Braeden has been driven to be a successful actor since arriving here in 1959.

At the age of 18, Braeden immigrated here from Germany and immediately started to try his hand at acting. He went on to play various other small roles throughout the 60s and 70s. Other titles with his name in the credits include Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, Gunsmoke, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and Escape From the Planet of the Apes.
Each of these roles helped Braeden gain the experience and visibility he needed to land the gig everyone knows him for on The Young and the Restless. He was offered the role of Victor Newman on the show in 1980. Then he went on to win a Daytime Emmy for the role in 1998. Here is a look at what Braeden’s four decades on the show have done for his overall wealth.
Eric Braeden’s 2022 Net Worth
Eric Braeden’s 2022 net worth is among the highest in the soap opera world. It is estimated by a number of sources that his net worth sits around $25 million. A good chunk of that has stemmed directly from his work on The Young and the Restless over the years.
Braeden makes about $5,000 per episode he appears in. He celebrated 40 years on the show in 2020. That money has certainly stacked up over the years. He only took one short break in 2009 when his contract was in re-negotiation. Otherwise, he has been steadily working on the show, increasing his wealth along the way.

Not much of Braeden’s net worth stems from his early career. Although he landed the part of Victor after gaining experience in those roles, they have not contributed to him financially the way that The Young and the Restless has been able to. Not to mention, he hasn’t taken time away from the show to pursue many other projects. Braeden seems to like it that way though and he’s certainly not hurting for cash.
At this time, Braeden plans to continue acting and making regular appearances on The Young and the Restless. The last time he even mentioned retirement fans went crazy. So, Eric Braeden’s 2022 net worth may be even higher in another year or so. Only time will tell.
