Actor Chris Pratt is well-known... - He spent his initial earnings from acting.

On the radio program "Sway In The Morning," Chris Pratt (44) recounted his initial major monetary win and exposed that it didn't persist for long. "I'd been residing on really tiny funds for an extended period, and the main task I landed was a TV movie. I received $75,000," he conveyed in a YouTube video excerpt.

With that $75,000 check, which equates to roughly $69,000 in Euros, he believed, "the money would never deplete." Thus, Pratt invested the moolah in enjoying a globetrotting experience, visiting spots like Hawaii and Australia. In his aimless foolishness, he even mulled over purchasing a yacht. "And two months afterwards, I pondered, 'Where's the money gone?'" he elucidated.

For Pratt, realizing how to manage finances was a gradual process. His lack of opportunities resulted in his absence of understanding regarding financial strategy. Therefore, devising a system to ensure his family's financial security was "one of the facets of my maturing," he commented.

Currently, Chris Pratt does not have to fret about money. He rose to fame in 2002 with the series "Everwood." Since then, he has been regularly appearing in action flicks and has portrayed leading roles in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Passengers."

Additionally, his financial stability is also due to his union: He wedded Katherine Schwarzenegger (34) in 2019, a daughter of action behemoth Arnold Schwarzenegger (76).
