Tom Selleck’s time on Blue Bloods is coming to an end as the long-running CBS show airs its final season.
But Tom, 79, is walking away with more than just happy memories, as his pockets have been lined substantially during his 13 years on the show.
Now, as he considers his future in the entertainment industry, he’s spoken about whether he’s “set for life” or if he must continue working.
So, how much is Tom worth and what did he earn from Blue Bloods?
What was Tom’s salary on Blue Bloods?
Tom has been leading the show since 2010 when he joined the cop drama as Commissioner Frank Reagan.
He reportedly earns an impressive $200,000 per episode which equates to approximately $5 million per season.
While it’s a pretty penny, when he was at the helm of Magnum P.I. in the mid-80s, Tom raked in $500,000 per episode, which would equate to over $1 million per episode today.
What is his net worth?
According to Parade, Tom has a net worth of $45 million, which has been earned over a decades-long career in the TV and film industry.
He rose to fame as Magnum P.I. and starred in the show for more than eight years.
In 1985, Tom received five Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
He’s starred in more than 50 other movies since finding fame as private investigator Thomas Magnum, including Three Men and a Baby, Lassiter and Mr. Baseball.
In addition, he had a recurring role as Monica Gellar’s love interest in Friends, and many other TV roles.
Tom’s ‘set for life’ comments
Recently, the star opened up about the end of Blue Bloods and said: “Working alongside these incredible actors, writers, producers, directors, and crew has been a dream come true and I’m grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary group for over 275 episodes.”
But confessed he does worry about what roles he’s land going forward.
“You know, hopefully I keep working enough to hold onto the place,” he told CBS about living on his 63-acre avocado farm in California.
Correspondent Tracy Smith asked: “Seriously, that’s an issue? If you stopped working?”
To which Tom wistfully responded: “That’s always an issue. If I stopped working, yeah. Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!”
The end of Blue Bloods
While the show is set to end, Tom isn’t giving up just yet. When asked whether it was goodbye forever, during a conversation on Sunday Morning, Tom mused: “Well, that’s a good question. I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses!
“We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to come back. And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!”
