Court filings in a bitter legal dispute have pulled back the curtain on the substantial fortune of Hollywood star Seann William Scott, forever known to fans as the outrageous Steve Stifler from the American Pie franchise.
The financial details emerged from a lawsuit filed by the actor's former personal assistant, Olivia Korenberg, who is suing for what she claims are unpaid wages and overtime. The documents, obtained by The Independent, provide a rare glimpse into the financial success of a performer best known for his comedic roles.
A Stifler-Sized Fortune
According to the legal submission, Scott's company, Seann William Scott Inc., reportedly possesses a staggering $25 million in assets and has seen an average annual income of between $7-8 million over the past two years. This financial standing starkly contrasts with the claims in the lawsuit, which alleges a failure to pay a standard hourly rate.
The Heart of the Legal Dispute
Olivia Korenberg, who worked for Scott from March 2021 to January 2023, alleges a litany of labour violations. Her suit claims she was paid a flat monthly salary of $8,000 without compensation for overtime, despite working upwards of 16-hour days and on weekends.
Her duties, as described, extended far beyond typical administrative work. Korenberg states she was tasked with managing his home, caring for his pets, handling his social media, and even "chauffeuring him while he was intoxicated" – all without appropriate breaks or premium pay.
A Counterclaim and a Denial
The legal battle is fiercely contested. Scott's legal team has not only denied the allegations but has also filed a aggressive counterclaim. They argue that Korenberg was a well-compensated, trusted manager who is now attempting to "shakedown" her former employer.
His lawyers state, "She now seeks to recharacterize her role as that of an ordinary, non-exempt employee to obtain a payday to which she is not entitled." The case continues to develop, with both sides preparing for a potentially explosive court showdown.
For many, the revelation serves as a surprising update on the career of the 47-year-old actor, proving that the legacy of the American Pie series continues to be incredibly lucrative for its main cast members.
