Ben’s worked as an actor, comedian, writer, director and producer. He’s been active in the performing arts since 1975 when he was just 10 years old.
Today Ben Stiller’s dad, Jerry Stiller, is best known for his career resurgence during the 1990s. He made audiences laugh and cringe as Frank Constanza on Seinfeld (1993-1998). He also played Kevin James’ father-in-law, Arthur Spooner, on King of Queens (1998-2007).Â
On the other hand, Ben Stiller has been even more successful than dear old dad. He’s best known for his film career. Stiller often plays the comedic lead in his movies.

What are his most popular movies?
As we mentioned above, Meet the Parents, Zoolander, and Tropic Thunder are loved by fans. With such a long and varied career though, Stiller has made a ton of awesome flicks.
As a director, his first film was Reality Bites (1994), in which he also played a major acting role. Interestingly, the film was produced by fellow modest man, Danny DeVito. He also directed Jim Carrey in The Cable Guy (1996).
His breakout role may have been when he starred opposite Cameron Diaz in There’s Something About Mary (1998). No one ever forgets that hair scene.
In 2004, Ben Stiller was in 6 different movies: Starsky & Hutch, Dodgeball, Envy, Anchorman, Along Came Polly and Meet the Fockers. 2004 was a good year.

What is Ben Stiller’s net worth?

Like many of the actors we feature, he started working early and has significant real estate holdings. Ben Stiller has properties in New York, Los Angeles and Hawaii.
One other thing Stiller has done consistently well throughout his career is choosing projects carefully. He famously quit SNL after only five shows. That’s a gig most up-and-coming stars would kill for, but he let it go simply because the atmosphere wasn’t right for him.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Meet the Parents did so well he turned an awkward rom-com into a franchise.
The other thing that sets Stiller apart from other stars is his total involvement in his projects. His best-loved features often credit him as not only an actor but a writer and a director too. Hey, that’s three paychecks for one guy.
No wonder he has $200 million!
Does Ben Stiller have a wife and kids?
Ben Stiller was married to actress Christine Taylor from 2000-2017. They met on set and starred together in a few films, including Zoolander and Dodgeball.
While it’s sad they split, 17 years is no joke. In Hollywood, that’s practically forever!
In any case, the split is so amicable, the exes are frequently spotted hanging out. After they walked the Emmys red carpet together, reconciliation rumors started.
One thing that keeps them bound together? Stiller and Taylor have two children. Their daughters, Quinn and Ella, are 14 and 17 years old, respectively.
Even with the divorce, Ben Stiller appears to be quite close to his ex-wife and kids. He stepped out with his daughter, Ella, earlier this year at the Golden Globe awards.
Today, Ben Stiller is technically a single Dad. Don’t feel too bad for him though. With two beautiful kids, $200 Million in the bank and Justin Theroux as a wingman, he’s doing alright.
