Chris Carter's net worth is said to have been mostly accumulated by the American writer and producer through a number of TV series he created.
Born on October 13, 1957 in Bellflower, California, Carter reportedly graduated with a degree in journalism at California Beach University. He first worked for "Surfing Magazine" for thirteen years before he ventured in the entertainment industry, and became an editor by the age of 28.
Chris Carter's net worth didn't really took a significant increase until he started working in television in 1986 with the production of "The B.R.A.T Patrol, followed by "Meet the Munceys" in 1988. He would later meet the then president of NBC network Brandon Tartikoff, and sign a contract to release several unproduced television pilots including "Cameo by Night" with Sela Ward, "Brand New Life" and "Copter Cop."
Several years later, with a budget of $2 million, he created "The X Files" which catapulted Chris Carter's net worth to a million dollar value, Richest News reported.
"The X Files" reportedly debuted on September 10, 1993 and made its final run on May 19, 2002. Over the course of its run, the show aired 202 episodes during its nine seasons on Fox network. The series became one of the highest rated and most profitable shows in Fox. It also launched both lead stars - David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson's careers into A-list status.
It was during the peak of "The X Files'" success that Chris Carter's net worth reportedly sky rocketed. Having seen the triumph of the series in television, two feature films which modestly performed in the box office were then released. Carter also went to sign several production deals with Fox allowing him to create new series. Unfortunately though, none came close to the legacy that "The X Files" left in the the history of popular television.
