It's always difficult to gauge the finances of a well-known actor, particularly one as DIY as John Paul Tremblay. On one hand, Trailer Park Boys is a famously grassroots operation that remained a small-scale underground hit for years and years. On the other, Tremblay is part of the main cast in a long-running hit comedy show. Perhaps fittingly, the actor's net worth appears to be somewhere between the poverty line of his famous character and the tens of millions your average actor in a 12-season hit show might be worth. According to wealth estimation site Celebrity Net Worth, Tremblay's earthly possessions amount to $2 million. 

In 2014, Tremblay explained the show's early finances in a post on a fan forum (via Reddit), as a response to a fellow Trailer Park Boys actor's comments about the show's meager wages. He says that TPB started out and continues to be a passion project, and that he actually used to own a chain of pizza restaurants before selling them to focus on the show's punishing production and promotion schedule where some years, the pay amounted to "pennies an hour." He also noted that while they were eventually able to hire a manager and start capitalizing on their success, there's simply not as much money in being a Canadian cult TV favorite as one would assume. Fortunately, the show's international success in recent years means that Tremblay's sacrifices weren't in vain.
