How Much Are South Park Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone Worth?

Forbes Australia estimated in July 2025 that South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are each worth $1.2 billion. The figure is not an audited balance sheet, and it differs from reported annual revenue-share estimates and Paramount’s deal commitments.

Forbes Australia estimated in July 2025 that South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are each worth $1.2 billion. That is a reported estimate—not an audited statement of either person’s assets, debts, or cash. The distinction matters: a large deal or annual revenue-share estimate is not the same thing as personal net worth.

How much are the South Park creators worth?

Forbes Australia’s July 2025 estimate put Trey Parker’s net worth at $1.2 billion and Matt Stone’s at $1.2 billion. On that reporting, both are billionaires. The figure should be treated as an estimate, not a verified balance sheet: the available sources do not provide a complete accounting of their assets, liabilities, ownership interests, taxes, or liquidity. (Forbes Australia)

Parker and Stone are the co-creators of South Park; the show’s official creator biographies say they met at the University of Colorado. (South Park Studios)

Why the 2025 deal matters to their fortunes

A key part of the financial story is the creators’ digital-revenue arrangement. Forbes reports that a 2007 Comedy Central agreement gave Parker and Stone a 50/50 share of digital revenues—then a nonexistent revenue category—and describes the arrangement as lasting “in perpetuity.” That structure helps explain why later streaming and distribution rights could be economically important.

On July 23, 2025, Paramount announced a five-year renewal with Parker and Stone, Park County, and South Park Digital Studios. The official announcement lists 50 new episodes, all 26 previous seasons, continued Comedy Central distribution, and Paramount+ distribution around the world. Paramount describes South Park Digital Studios as a joint venture between Paramount Global and Park County, the entertainment company founded by Parker and Stone. (Paramount)

Forbes estimates that the creators’ half of digital revenues under the 2025 arrangement amounts to $250 million per year. That is Forbes’ estimate of a revenue share, not a confirmed salary or guaranteed personal payment. Paramount’s announcement confirms the renewal and its content and distribution commitments, but does not disclose the creators’ personal wealth or verify Forbes’ annual-payout estimate.

Net worth, revenue share, and deal commitments are different figures

These numbers describe different things and should not be added together or treated as interchangeable:

  • $1.2 billion each: Forbes Australia’s July 2025 estimate of Parker’s and Stone’s individual net worth.
  • $250 million per year: Forbes’ estimate of the creators’ half of digital revenues under the renewed arrangement; it is not established as salary or a guaranteed personal payout.
  • Five years and 50 new episodes: terms listed in Paramount’s July 2025 announcement, not a statement of personal wealth.

A company’s revenue, a contract’s distribution terms, a creator’s share of revenue, and an individual’s net worth answer separate questions. The available reporting does not establish that the creators personally received a contract’s full value as cash or provide the detailed financial information needed to calculate either person’s net worth independently.

What else contributes to their creative portfolio?

Their work extends beyond television. Parker and Stone co-wrote The Book of Mormon; a 2024–2025 Wharton Center program also notes Stone’s Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. Those credits show a broader creative portfolio, but the program does not quantify either creator’s income from the musical. (Wharton Center)
