Ashton Kutcher: net worth, age, height, wife and children

Ashton Kutcher, born Christopher Ashton Kutcher on February 7, 1978, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is a 48-year-old American actor, producer and venture capitalist whose estimated net worth is $500 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, although older published estimates put the figure at $200 million. He first became famous as Michael Kelso on the sitcom That ’70s Show, went on to headline Two and a Half Men as one of the highest-paid actors on television, and then built a second career as a co-founder of the investment firms A-Grade Investments and Sound Ventures. He is married to actress Mila Kunis, and they have two children, a daughter, Wyatt, and a son, Dimitri.

Quick facts

Biography and early life

Christopher Ashton Kutcher was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on February 7, 1978, so his birthday falls in early February and he turned 48 in February 2026. According to Wikipedia and Celebrity Net Worth, he grew up in a working-class family in Iowa, largely in the small community of Homestead. His father, Larry M. Kutcher, worked in a factory, and his mother, Diane Finnegan Kutcher, worked for Procter & Gamble. He has an older sister, Tausha, and a fraternal twin brother, Michael, who was born with cerebral palsy and needed a heart transplant as a child. Kutcher has said that his brother’s health shaped his own ambitions, and he went to the University of Iowa to study biochemical engineering with the aim of helping find a cure for his brother’s condition.

His path changed at university when a modeling scout recruited him for a competition. He left Iowa for New York, signed with a modeling agency and booked campaigns including Calvin Klein work, then moved to Los Angeles to try acting. The decision paid off almost immediately: in 1998, at his first major audition period in Los Angeles, he landed the role that would define his early career. His parents divorced during his teenage years, a period he has discussed in interviews as difficult, and the family’s financial struggles in Iowa are a regular reference point in his later business writing and speeches about why he works the way he does.

Career: television, film and producing

Kutcher’s breakthrough was the sitcom That ’70s Show, which ran from 1998 to 2006. As Michael Kelso, the cheerful and dim-witted member of the show’s central group of friends, he became one of the most recognizable young actors on American television. While the show was still running, he built a producing career alongside acting. In 2003 he created, produced and hosted Punk’d, the MTV hidden-camera series in which celebrities were pranked on camera. The show ran until 2007, returned in later revivals, and established him as a producer as well as a performer. He also produced other reality formats, including Beauty and the Geek.

His film career ran in parallel. He starred in the comedy Dude, Where’s My Car? in 2000, in Just Married and Cheaper by the Dozen in 2003, and took a dramatic turn in The Butterfly Effect in 2004, playing a young man who travels back into his own past. He followed with Guess Who in 2005, The Guardian in 2006 opposite Kevin Costner, What Happens in Vegas in 2008, Killers in 2010 and No Strings Attached in 2011. In 2013 he played Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in the biographical film Jobs, a role that connected his acting career directly to the technology world he was by then investing in.

In 2011, Kutcher returned to sitcom television in the highest-profile way possible, replacing Charlie Sheen as the new lead of Two and a Half Men. According to Celebrity Net Worth, at his peak on the series he earned $800,000 per episode, roughly $20 million per season, which made him the highest-paid actor on television at the time. The show ran with him in the lead until 2015. He then co-created and starred in the Netflix comedy-drama The Ranch, which ran from 2016 to 2020. Later screen work included the film Vengeance in 2022, the Netflix romantic comedy Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon in 2023, and a return as Kelso in a cameo on the sequel series That ’90s Show. Because so much of his work now happens through online accounts and connected devices, readers who follow his technology career often also work through practical account security, including what two-factor authentication is and how to set it up on their own profiles.

Movies and television shows

Kutcher’s best-known screen credits include the following.

• That ’70s Show (1998-2006, television)
• Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000)
• Punk’d (2003-2007, television, creator and host)
• Just Married (2003) and Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)
• The Butterfly Effect (2004)
• Guess Who (2005) and The Guardian (2006)
• What Happens in Vegas (2008)
• Killers (2010) and No Strings Attached (2011)
• Two and a Half Men (2011-2015, television)
• Jobs (2013)
• The Ranch (2016-2020, television)
• Vengeance (2022) and Your Place or Mine (2023)

Taken together, the list shows the two halves of his career clearly: broad studio comedy on screen, and production work behind it. Few actors of his generation moved as early, or as deliberately, from performing into owning and producing the formats they appeared in.

Net worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ashton Kutcher has a net worth of $500 million, and the site is explicit that the vast majority of that figure does not come from acting. It comes from venture capital. Published estimates disagree sharply, however. Older estimates, repeated by Parade and other outlets into 2026 from an earlier Celebrity Net Worth figure, put his net worth at $200 million. The gap between $200 million and $500 million is almost entirely a disagreement about how to value private technology investments, and readers should treat both numbers as estimates rather than confirmed accounts.

The investing record behind the higher figure is documented. In 2010, Kutcher co-founded A-Grade Investments with entertainment manager Guy Oseary and billionaire Ron Burkle. According to Celebrity Net Worth, A-Grade turned about $30 million in capital into $250 million in assets, with early investments in Uber, Airbnb, Spotify, Shazam, SoundCloud and Skype. In 2015 he co-founded Sound Ventures with Oseary to run larger, later-stage investments. The single largest factor in the current estimate is artificial intelligence: in 2023, Sound Ventures invested a reported $30 million in OpenAI, and a later leaked capitalization table indicated that Sound Ventures holds roughly 0.15 percent of the company, a stake Celebrity Net Worth values at about $1.3 billion on paper at OpenAI’s March 2026 valuation. Kutcher is a co-founder and general partner of the firm rather than the owner of that whole stake, so his personal share is an estimate within an estimate, which is exactly why published totals for his fortune vary so widely.

Acting still built the foundation. His Two and a Half Men salary alone ran to roughly $20 million per season at its peak, and his film and syndication earnings from two decades of hit comedies gave him the capital to invest in the first place. The honest summary is that Kutcher’s fortune rests on a documented acting income measured in the tens of millions, multiplied by a venture portfolio whose most valuable positions are private and therefore hard to price.

Personal life and family

Kutcher married actress Demi Moore in 2005, a marriage that drew heavy press attention because of the age difference between them. They separated in 2011 and their divorce was finalized in 2013. In 2012 he began dating Mila Kunis, his former That ’70s Show co-star, who had played his on-screen girlfriend Jackie Burkhart. They became engaged in February 2014, welcomed their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher, in October 2014, and married in July 2015. Their son, Dimitri Portwood Kutcher, was born on November 30, 2016. The couple are notably private about their children and rarely show their faces publicly.

Family remains central to his biography. His twin brother Michael’s cerebral palsy and childhood heart transplant motivated his original plan to study biochemical engineering, and Kutcher has worked publicly on child-protection technology through Thorn, the organization he co-founded to build tools against online child exploitation. In 2022 he revealed that he had been diagnosed two years earlier with a rare form of vasculitis, an autoimmune condition that temporarily affected his vision, hearing and movement. He has said he has since recovered, and he discussed the illness publicly as a reason for his gratitude about his health and family life.

House and real estate

Kutcher’s main home with Kunis is a six-acre sustainable farmhouse estate in Beverly Hills that the couple call KuKu Farms. According to Architectural Digest, which profiled the finished property in 2021, they built the home from the ground up over about five years with architect Howard Backen and interior designer Vicky Charles. The compound includes a main house designed to look like an old barn that had been converted into a home, a guesthouse and entertainment barn, and a barbecue pavilion. Its solar array produces more electricity than the property uses, and the land has been used to grow food, including corn the couple harvested during lockdown.

The farmhouse is the center of a wider property record. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kutcher bought a modern home in the Hollywood Hills for $8.455 million in 2012 and sold it in 2014 for $9.925 million. In 2014 the couple bought a Beverly Hills estate for $10.2 million, which they sold in 2022 for $10.35 million. In 2017 they bought a beachfront property in Carpinteria, near Santa Barbara, for a reported $10 million. KuKu Farms, which has never been publicly listed for sale, remains their primary residence.

Instagram and public presence

Ashton Kutcher’s official Instagram account is @aplusk, the same handle he uses on X. He was an early and influential adopter of social media, becoming the first Twitter user to reach one million followers in 2009. He uses his accounts for family posts, farm updates from KuKu Farms, investment and Thorn-related announcements, and promotion of his screen work. Because follower counts change daily, no exact figure is stated as fact here; readers should rely on the verified @aplusk account and treat similarly named profiles as fan pages.

Closing summary

Ashton Kutcher’s profile combines two careers that rarely sit in one biography. Born on February 7, 1978, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Larry and Diane Kutcher, he rose from Iowa modeling work to sitcom stardom on That ’70s Show, created Punk’d, and headlined Two and a Half Men at a reported $800,000 per episode. He then converted that income into a venture capital record through A-Grade Investments and Sound Ventures that Celebrity Net Worth now values, in total, at a $500 million net worth, with older estimates at $200 million. Married to Mila Kunis since 2015 and the father of Wyatt and Dimitri, he lives at the couple’s Beverly Hills farmhouse, KuKu Farms.
