Even today's youth has at least heard about 'The Wonder Years,' and even if they haven't, they already know about the talented Savage brothers. Plus, there's the reboot of the show that is now drawing attention.

But while Fred Savage starred on 'The Wonder Years,' Ben Savage appeared on 'Boy Meets World' and the modern reincarnation 'Girl Meets World.' His role brought Cory and Topanga's story full circle; the pair had two kids and grew old together.

But contrary to popular belief, Fred hasn't quietly ducked out of Hollywood while his brother controls the spotlight.

Fred and his brother Ben have literally dominated TV for ages, even if they aren't always in front of the camera. So what has Fred Savage been up to, and how has he continued to grow his net worth without making dramatic headlines?

Here's everything fans need to know about Fred Savage's net worth (and what he's been doing to build it).

Why Did 'The Wonder Years' Get Canceled?

Stars of the show say that even as they filmed the series finale, they weren't sure whether 'The Wonder Years' would have a next season. As it turned out, it didn't.

But at the time, in the early '90s, there wasn't as much media coverage of series endings or the drama that surrounded them. And because 'The Wonder Years' didn't know it was coming to an end, there wasn't a huge send-off for the beloved show.

So why did 'The Wonder Years' get canceled? Rumor has it, there were unwarranted allegations against Fred and his co-star Jason Hervey that led to drama on set. Fred, who was 16, and Jason, who was 20, were accused of "verbally and physically" harassing a costumer on set.

Though their co-star Alley Mills noted that she personally knew the costumer, who often got into trouble on set for falling asleep or just generally not doing her job, and that the allegations were baseless.

Even Fred himself once stated, "I was completely exonerated. I really don't want to talk about it. It was a terrible experience."

Mills elaborated that Fred was "like, the least offensive, most wonderful, sweet human being that ever walked the face of the earth," and that no one believed the allegations were true.

Still, things didn't blow over, and the show ended. But did Fred's reputation suffer, or was the accusation just a "big joke" like Mills assumed?

What Is Fred Savage's Net Worth?

Though 'The Wonder Years' was nearly two decades ago, Fred Savage isn't doing too badly wealth-wise these days. Sources say the 45-year-old is worth at least $18 million. He evidently made a decent income from 'The Wonder Years,' as a teen to boot, but not all of the money stems from his acting gigs.

But how much did Fred Savage make on 'The Wonder Years'? No one seems to know. After all, the show lasted five years in the late '80s and early '90s, and the cast members don't seem to discuss their paychecks much.

Though the "disgruntled employee" that accused Fred was fired, no one mentioned how much the costumer was paid, nor how much the then-minors were paid for their appearances on the show.

But the series did feature "the best actors in L.A.," claimed Fred, which likely means that the cast and its guest stars earned a decent living. Stars like Soleil Moon Frye, Robin Thicke, David Schwimmer, and Alicia Silverstone were all guest stars on the series at one time.

Fans may also wonder what happened to Winnie. So what is Danica McKellar's net worth today? The actress has continued appearing in films, and she's worth a cool $6 million today.

What Has Fred Savage Been Doing Since 'The Wonder Years'?

Fred Savage has kept plenty busy since 'The Wonder Years.' He was very young when the show wrapped, but he clearly knew what he wanted to do with his life.

He's acted in -- and directed -- countless projects over the years. He also met and married his now-wife, Jennifer Lynn Stone, in 2004. The two have three children together, though they appear to keep their family life quietly under wraps.

Recently, though, what has Fred been up to? And did Fred Savage direct 'Modern Family'? It turns out, he did! Among his IMDb credits are acting credits for at least one episode of the show but 14 credits for directing.

Fred is also set to direct the reboot of 'The Wonder Years,' which fans of the original series are thrilled for. It's in pre-production as of 2021, so fingers crossed it hits a streaming service near us soon.
