Rob Lowe has racked up quite the net worth during his time in the spotlight. The West Wing alum kicked off his lucrative acting career in the late 1970s, and has had his fair share of ups and downs in Hollywood. However, Rob is still making tons of money with TV roles and his podcast.
With a career marked by both dramatic and comedic roles, Lowe has also left his mark in popular TV shows like Parks and Recreation and The Grinder. His talent and charm have solidified his status as a respected and beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
In 1988 Lowe was involved in a scandal centering around a sexually explicit videotape which involved a minor, for which he did 20 hours of community service in Dayton. He subsequently sought help for his problems with drugs and alcohol and has re-emerged in the 1990s as a clean and sober husband and father.
While his non-acting peers were checking into dorm rooms, he was checking into a hotel he would live in on his own while on location for The Outsiders. The following year he starred in the movie Oxford Blues, and the year after that, in 1985, St. Elmo's Fire. By the time he was 15, Rob Lowe achieved fame.

Soon enough, Lowe told NPR, drinking had become a major part of his life. “Without even knowing it, it became just a big part of my life to the point where… I decided that I needed to go and get help,” he said.
He said his addiction began as a teenager and that he finally realized he needed to get help after missing a call from his mother about his grandfather being in the hospital. He also discussed the doors sobriety opened for him, in terms of both his career and his personal life.
"It's a parade of indignities, and the culminating blow for me was having the actress who didn't want to kiss me in the love scene," Lowe said, adding, "And that person would be Jewel."
