Finn talks about living with his family
Finn talked about how he was living alone in Atlanta during the Stranger Things shoot but moved back to his parents’ house afterwards. “I lived alone for a few years — I guess two years — and then I moved back in with my family for a year. Then, last year, I was living alone in Atlanta while shooting Stranger Things, but I have since moved back in with my family. We have a place in Vancouver. We all have our separate space, but we still live together — and it’s great,” he said.
He added, “I rarely get to see my family. I think it’s a nice home base to have, just because if I’m going to be away for most of the year working, then I might as well have a place to come back to with my parents.” According to a report in GQ India, Finn earned $250,000 per episode for his role in Stranger Things. The American television series has four seasons, each of them a huge success.
Celebrity Net Worth reported his net worth to be $4 million.
