Documentarian Louis Theroux has returned with his latest project, 'Inside the Manosphere', now streaming on Netflix. The feature-length documentary marks his first production for the streaming platform, following a lengthy career with the BBC. In it, he examines the so-called 'manosphere' and interviews controversial social influencers who promote questionable views to young men, often earning millions in the process.
Theroux, 55, was born in Singapore and holds both British and US nationality. He began making documentaries in 1998 with the series 'Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends', covering topics such as televangelists, UFO enthusiasts, the adult film industry, and survivalist 'preppers'. Over the years, he has profiled figures like Jimmy Savile, Chris Eubank, and Joe Exotic, winning two BAFTAs for Best Presenter of a Factual Programme and earning an Emmy nomination.
According to Celebrity Net Worth and Reality Tea, Theroux's net worth as of 2025 is estimated between $3 million and $4 million (approximately £3 million). His income stems from his work as a documentarian, author of two memoirs, broadcaster, and host of a Spotify-exclusive podcast, with clips also uploaded to YouTube.
Theroux lives in North West London with his wife, producer Nancy Strang, and their three children. He was previously married to Susanna Kleeman from 1998 to 2001. He previously owned a home in Los Angeles valued at around $1.2 million, which he reportedly rented out for nearly $9,000 per month in 2014; it is unclear if he still owns the property.
