American screenwriter, executive producer, director, comic book writer, occasional composer, and actor, Joseph Hill "Joss" Whedon has an estimated net worth of $100 million. He is the founder of Mutant Enemy Productions and the co-creator of Bellwether Pictures. Joss Whedon earned fame and industry standing as the writer, director, and producer of the popular WB series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which he based on his 1992 film of the same title. A third-generation television writer (both his father and grandfather wrote for the medium), Whedon grew up in Manhattan and spent his high school years at an all-boys school in England. Following higher education at Connecticut's Wesleyan University, he spent a year mired in creative and career frustration, an ordeal that ended when he was hired as a writer for the sitcom Roseanne.
He is best known as the creator and showrunner of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003), Angel (1999–2004), Firefly (2002) and Dollhouse (2009–2010), as well as the short film Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (2008). Whedon wrote and directed the film adaptation of Marvel's The Avengers (2012), and co-wrote and produced the horror film The Cabin in the Woods (2012).
