Taylor Kinney is always at the center of Chicago Fire drama. as Severide, the fearless leader of the 51, he has a major role to play in nearly every episode’s storyline. Now, though, the actor is getting attention because of his absence.

Kinney will be missing a large chunk of Fire‘s eleventh season to a personal matter. It could be for a handful of episodes or an entire half-season; both the showrunners and Kinney’s reps have kept quiet about the details.

That said, we thought now would be the perfect time to look at the actor’s net worth and how much of it he’s made during his time on Chicago Fire.

What is Taylor Kinney’s salary on Chicago Fire?

According to Meaww, Kinney has an estimated net worth of $8 million. This is largely through acting, which has been his main source of income since the mid-2000s. Kinney first broke into show business through modeling and music videos, but he really started to gain steam after landing bit parts on shows like Bones and CSI: NY.

Between high-profile appearances on the small screen, and small but notable roles in films like Zero Dark Thirty (2012) and The Other Woman (2014), Kinney has done a fine job of sustaining himself through his natural presence and charisma.

Of course, most of Kinney’s $8 million has come from Chicago Fire. The actor has been a steady earner on the show since 2012, and it’s reported that he makes around $24K per episode. While Meaww reports this number as unverified, it is a good ballpark indicator of what the actor takes home.

Kinney’s net worth makes him of the wealthiest actors in the One Chicago franchise. It makes sense, given how important he’s been to sustaining the franchise’s most popular show. As for whether Kinney’s absence will greatly impact his net worth, one can only speculate because we don’t know how long he’ll be gone.

If he is back in a relatively short time, then absolutely not. If he never makes his way back to the 51, then it most likely will.
