Here's How Much Robert Sheehan From Umbrella Academy Is Actually Worth

To date, Sheehan's net worth is estimated to be $2.5 million. 

It's difficult to say how much The Umbrella Academy contributed to this number, as there has only been one season of the show. Additionally, no renegotiation of salary has hit the news cycle in anticipation of The Umbrella Academy season 2, and Netflix keeps much of its series' financial details close to the vest. There isn't even an overall production budget that has been publicly released to do fuzzy math with. Netflix only publishes viewership numbers — and well after the fact at that — but it's also generally understood that since the streamer doesn't get the benefit of box office and home video revenue that studios traditionally work into compensation contracts, the company pays its actors higher one-time salaries. 

All that considered, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that Netflix paid Sheehan a couple hundred thousand dollars to appear on the first season of The Umbrella Academy, and possibly even more to come back for season 2. 

Sheehan's role as Klaus is the most high-profile of his career to date and certainly pays much more than anything he ever would have made on Love/Hate or Misfits, but it's far from his first leading role — you can definitely argue that Klaus technically isn't even a lead role at all. That said, Sheehan has no other projects beyond The Umbrella Academy that have been publicly announced as of yet, so that superhero-franchise arms war between film studios and television streamers must pay those bills handsomely to keep talent like Sheehan attached to them.
