Quick facts

Biography and early life

Christopher Michael Pratt was born on June 21, 1979, in Virginia, Minnesota, so his birthday falls in late June and he turned 47 in June 2026. According to Wikipedia, his mother, Kathleen Louise Kathy Pratt, née Indahl, worked at a Safeway supermarket, while his father, Daniel Clifton Pratt, held various jobs including mining and home remodeling. He has two older siblings, a sister, Angie, and a brother, Daniel Cully Pratt, whom he has credited as one of his biggest influences and as the reason he started acting. When he was two or three years old the family moved to Anchorage, Alaska, and after a period of instability in which they relocated between many homes across the United States, they settled in the Seattle suburb of Lake Stevens, Washington, when he was six or seven.

At Lake Stevens High School he placed fifth in a state wrestling tournament and competed in shot put, and he graduated in 1997. He dropped out of community college midway through his first semester and took various jobs, including selling discount tickets. He eventually found himself homeless in Maui, Hawaii, living out of a van and a tent on the beach while working minimal hours. At nineteen, while working as a waiter at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in Maui, he was discovered by the actress and director Rae Dawn Chong, who cast him in her short horror film Cursed Part 3 in 2000. Pratt credits that small production with teaching him the fundamentals of acting, and it set the unlikely course from beach van to Hollywood.

Career

Pratt’s first regular television role was as Harold Brighton Bright Abbott in the drama series Everwood from 2002 to 2006, followed by a recurring role as the activist Ché Cook in the fourth season of The O.C. He took supporting film roles in Wanted in 2008 and Bride Wars and Jennifer’s Body in 2009, the year that changed his career: he began playing Andy Dwyer in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. The part was initially intended to be temporary, but his performance so impressed the producers that he became a series regular, and the role, which he played until 2015, was his breakthrough. In parallel he rebuilt himself as a dramatic and film actor, losing thirty pounds to win the role of first baseman Scott Hatteberg in Moneyball in 2011, then playing a Navy SEAL in Zero Dark Thirty in 2012.

In 2014 he took leading roles in two major films. He voiced Emmet Brickowski in The Lego Movie, a critical and commercial success that earned $470.7 million worldwide, and he played Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, in Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy. Pratt had initially declined the part before casting director Sarah Finn arranged a meeting with director James Gunn, who became convinced he was ideal for it. The film was the third-highest-grossing release of 2014 at $773.3 million, and it began a six-film run as Star-Lord that continued through Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in 2023.

His second franchise arrived in 2015, when he played the raptor trainer Owen Grady in Jurassic World. The film grossed $1.67 billion worldwide and was, on release, the third-highest-grossing film of all time; he returned for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in 2018 and Jurassic World Dominion in 2022. Between franchise entries he starred with Denzel Washington in the Western The Magnificent Seven and opposite Jennifer Lawrence in the science fiction film Passengers, both in 2016. In February 2020 he founded his own company, Indivisible Productions, whose first project, the Amazon action series The Terminal List, made him one of the highest-paid actors on television in the role of James Reece. His voice work widened his family audience at the same time: after Onward in 2020 he voiced Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023, a film that earned more than $1.3 billion, returned for its sequel in 2026, and voiced the title character in The Garfield Movie in 2024. For family viewing and gaming choices linked to those roles, a practical family-friendly video games guide is a useful companion. By Wikipedia’s current tally, his films as a leading actor have grossed more than $15.2 billion worldwide, placing him among the highest-grossing film stars of all time, and he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2017.

The years after his franchise peak broadened the filmography rather than narrowing it. He reprised Emmet in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part in 2019, starred in the Western The Kid the same year, and voiced Barley Lightfoot opposite Tom Holland in Pixar’s Onward in 2020. In The Tomorrow War in 2021 he played a soldier drafted into a future conflict, and in 2022 he returned to series television as the lead of The Terminal List, playing Navy SEAL James Reece, a role he has continued in the prequel series The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. His full list of movies and television shows therefore spans network sitcom, prestige cable-style streaming drama, three major film franchises and four animated features, a range few of his contemporaries match. His philanthropy has tracked the same public profile: in 2015 he and Faris donated $1 million to a charity providing eyeglasses to underprivileged children and supported the neonatal intensive care unit at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and March of Dimes, causes connected to their son’s premature birth, and in 2021 his Feed Thy Neighbor fundraising work directed donations to food banks in South Carolina and Washington State.

Net worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Chris Pratt has a net worth of $100 million. The same source puts his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger’s separate fortune at about $10 million, which produces a combined couple estimate of about $110 million; that combined figure should never be quoted as Pratt’s solo net worth, which is the $100 million above. His earnings history explains the total. Forbes ranked him among the world’s highest-paid actors each year from 2015 to 2017, and reported a $12 million upfront salary for Passengers. His television rate set records for a streaming drama: The Terminal List was reported by Wikipedia at $1.4 million per episode, and Celebrity Net Worth reported in November 2026, citing a Variety survey of television salaries, that the rate had risen to $2 million per episode. Franchise salaries, voice roles in two billion-dollar animated properties and his producer income through Indivisible Productions make up the rest of the estimate, which, like all celebrity net worth figures, is an informed estimate rather than an audited total.

Personal life and family

Pratt met the actress Anna Faris in February 2007 while filming Take Me Home Tonight, in which she played his love interest. They married on July 9, 2009, in Bali, Indonesia, and their son Jack was born in August 2012, nine weeks premature, an experience Pratt has said deepened his faith. The couple announced their separation in August 2017, and the divorce was finalized on October 31, 2018. In June 2018 Pratt began dating the author Katherine Schwarzenegger, after being introduced by her mother, Maria Shriver. They announced their engagement in January 2019 and married on June 8, 2019, in Montecito, California. Coverage through 2026 continues to describe Schwarzenegger as his wife, and the couple have three children together: Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt, born on August 6, 2020; Eloise Christina Schwarzenegger Pratt, born on May 21, 2022; and Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt, born on November 8, 2024. Pratt therefore has four children in total, and through his marriage he is the son-in-law of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. His own parents and siblings remain part of the biography above: his mother Kathy, his late-career-influential brother Cully and his sister Angie. In 2016 he donated $500,000 to a teen center in his hometown of Lake Stevens that was named in memory of his father.

House and reported properties

Pratt’s property dealings are well documented, but they are reported transactions rather than an official inventory, and they should be read that way. The best-known property is in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles: according to Celebrity Net Worth, Pratt bought the property in 2018 for a reported $15.6 million, demolished the existing house and built a custom mansion of nearly 13,000 square feet. He and Schwarzenegger have repeatedly tried to sell it, and the site reported in August 2026 that it had been relisted for a fifth time at $19.99 million, down from an earlier asking price of $32 million, so it cannot responsibly be described as simply his current home. Separately, in 2023 the couple acquired the Ellwood Zimmerman House in Brentwood, Los Angeles, an architecturally significant mid-century house designed by Craig Ellwood, for a reported $12.5 million. According to Wikipedia, the original structure was later demolished to make way for the construction of a larger residence, a decision that drew criticism from preservationists. Earlier in his career Pratt lived with Anna Faris in the Hollywood Hills. Taken together, the documented record shows a pattern of buying architecturally notable or developable Los Angeles property rather than a single settled estate.

Instagram and public presence

Chris Pratt’s official Instagram account is @prattprattpratt, the verified handle he uses for film promotion, Terminal List updates and occasional family posts that keep his children’s faces largely out of frame. Because follower counts change daily and vary by source, no exact follower figure is stated as fact here; readers should rely only on the verified @prattprattpratt account and treat similarly named profiles as fan pages.

Closing summary

Chris Pratt’s profile runs from a childhood that moved between Minnesota, Alaska and Washington, and a period of homelessness in Maui, to the center of two global franchises. Born Christopher Michael Pratt on June 21, 1979, to Daniel and Kathleen Pratt, he broke through as Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation and became Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy films and Owen Grady in the Jurassic World trilogy, while building a second career as Mario’s voice and as a producer. His estimated net worth is $100 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Married to Katherine Schwarzenegger since 2019 and the father of Jack, Lyla, Eloise and Ford, he remains at 47 one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
