RJ Mitte was worth an estimated $500,000 when he died, despite starring in one of television’s biggest dramas, after claiming a former business manager
mishandled his money and left him battling years of tax debt.
The Breaking Bad actor, who died on Monday in Brownsville, Texas, aged 34, from suicide, had previously challenged reports suggesting his fortune reached $5 million.
Mitte, who played Walter White’s son in the acclaimed AMC series, revealed in a November 2025 interview his earnings were considerably smaller than fans
imagined.
