Owen Wilson has an estimated net worth of $45 million. Self-proclaimed troublemaker, Owen Wilson grew up in Texas with his mother, Laura, a photographer, his father who was an ad exec, and his brothers, Andrew Wilson (the eldest) and Luke Wilson (the youngest). Expelled from St. Mark’s Academy in Dallas Texas in the tenth grade, Wilson finished his sophomore year at Thomas Jefferson School and then headed to a military academy in New Mexico.
He then attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he met his future mentor and friend, Wes Anderson. They wrote a screenplay, Bottle Rocket (1996), and sent it to their family friend, screenwriter L.M. Kit Carson, who sent it to producer Polly Platt, who gave it to James L. Brooks, who gave the Texans $5 million dollars to make it into a feature film. Despite critical praise, Bottle Rocket (1996) only grossed one million dollars.
After making the film, Wilson moved to Hollywood, setting up a house with his two brothers and Anderson. Fairly quickly, Owen found himself acting in a series of big budget films that scraped the bottom of the critical barrel, such as the dreadful The Cable Guy (1996), The Haunting (1999), Anaconda (1997) and Breakfast of Champions (1999).
