Being a sibling of a household celebrity can be a hit or a miss. Take Noah Cyrus, for example. Her adored, mega superstar of a sister, Miley Cyrus, has caused her turmoil due to the pressure to live up to her sibling’s success (this unfortunately contributed to Noah Cyrus’ downward spiral with drug addiction). However, there’s the flip side to being the sibling of a successful entertainer. Such is the case with Adam Sandler’s brother, Scott Sandler.
Scott Sandler has seen his life, more specifically his bank account, change thanks to his brother’s success. Here’s how Adam Sandler helped make his brother a fortune through his production company, Happy Madison. Additionally, this article will cover the projects Happy Madison has made and will provide information about Sandler’s siblings.
Adam Sandler’s Production Company Made His Brother Millions
Founded in 1999, Happy Madison Productions is Adam Sandler’s brainchild. The production company is best known for its comedic films, but it also hosts various other genres.
After Her Arrest On Shoplifting Charges, Adam Sandler Was A Class Act With Winona Ryder In Mr. Deeds
During a difficult moment in her career amid the shoplifting scandal, taking on Mr. Deeds with Adam Sandler was a positive decision for Winona Ryder.
Adam Sandler welcomed his brother, Scott Sandler, to help run the billion-dollar company. According to People, Scott Sandler is listed as Vice President and Secretary of Happy Madison Productions’ parent company, Happy Madison Inc. The two currently still co-run the establishment together.
The revenue Happy Madison Productions generates no doubt contributes to the pockets of its founders and company leaders. Happy Madison Productions made up to $3.9 billion in 2020, according to Far Out Magazine and, according to Equity Atlas, Scott Sandler’s net worth is estimated to be around $500 million. This estimation is slightly more than the Celebrity Net Worth’s calculation of Adam Sandler’s net worth, which is said to sit at $440 million. Although Adam Sandler’s net worth is reportedly lower, he still finds ways to spend it lavishly.
What Movies Has Happy Madison Productions Produced?
Happy Madison Productions has produced numerous movies that are known to be fan favorites. According to IMDb, Happy Madison Productions has produced over 30 movies in varying genres.
Since Adam Sandler is the founder of Happy Madison Productions, it should come as no surprise that he stars in many of them.

Adam Sandler Admitted He Was An Absolute Nightmare Behind The Scenes On Saturday Night Live
Adam Sandler has lots of famous friends but he revealed that he used to be a lot harder to work with during his SNL days.
According to Far Out Magazine, some Happy Madison Production films have received massive criticism along with the figurative form of tomatoes being thrown at them (that is, some films received a zero on Rotten Tomatoes). Despite this, however, Happy Madison Production is doing well for itself, seeing that they signed a roughly $247 million deal with Netflix in 2020.
Who Are Adam Sandler’s Siblings?
Adam Sandler has more siblings than just his brother, Scott Sandler. Although Adam chose his brother to work alongside him in his profitable film production company, that doesn’t mean that Adam doesn’t show his other siblings some attention and love.
Adam Sandler has a total of three siblings: Scott Sandler, Elizabeth Sandler, and Valerie Sandler. Of these siblings, Adam is the youngest (according to People), and the pack of four is extremely close.
When reflecting on his experience growing up with his sisters and brother during his Mark Twain Prize Acceptance speech, Adam said:
“My sisters, Elizabeth and Valerie, they included me in everything they did. They would always tell me to sing, tell stories, they’d go to all my games, they’d root for me. They’d even take me on dates with their boyfriends. They just always made me feel like I was the star of the family.”
What Does Adam Sandler’s Siblings Do For Work? (According To US Weekly)
- Elizabeth Sandler – dentist
- Valerie Sandler – food industry executive
- Scott Sandler – lawyer (and co-runner of Happy Madison Productions)
50 First Dates Is Not Drew Barrymore And Adam Sandler’s Best Film Collaboration
Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler’s 50 First Dates film is a cult classic, but it’s not their BEST work together.
This sentiment was carried on to his brother Scott, saying, “He would just tell me I’m funny all the time. He’d say I was great on the guitar, tell me I could sing as good as Stephen Tyler. He told me to read Mad Magazine, and we’d watch Benny Hill together.”
