Owen Cooper Wins Golden Globe 2026 After Emmy: Salary and Net Worth Revealed

Age is just a number, and Owen Cooper is proving it with his stellar performances. The 16-year-old actor, who plays ‘Jamie Miller’ in the Netflix series Adolescence, recently added a Golden Globe Award to his accolades, following his Emmy-winning performance last year. “I was nothing three years back, and as I stepped out of my comfort zone, I know now that anything could be achieved, if there’s the right amount of willpower and work in action,” Owen said reflecting on his career journey.

Despite not coming from a family of actors, Owen discovered his passion for acting early and trained at Manchester-based drama school, The Drama Mob. His dedication and authenticity during auditions impressed casting directors, landing him the critically acclaimed role in Adolescence, where he portrayed a 13-year-old accused of murder.

Owen’s talent and hard work have translated into a remarkable financial success. While Netflix has not officially disclosed his salary, actors in similar series reportedly earn between USD 20,000 and USD 50,000 per episode. With six episodes of Adolescence, Owen is estimated to have earned between USD 120,000 and USD 300,000. Celebrity Net Worth estimated his total net worth in 2025 to be around USD 500,000 to USD 750,000, a figure likely to grow with upcoming projects, including his role as ‘Young Heathcliff’ in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

Owen Cooper’s rise from a young drama student to an award-winning actor demonstrates that talent, authenticity, and determination can open doors at any age.
