With his remarkable skills and contributions to the entertainment industry, it comes as no surprise that his net worth is projected to range between $100K and $1M in 2024. Antonsen has undoubtedly carved a niche for himself in the field, demonstrating versatility and innovation in his various roles. Whether through his captivating performances on-screen, his exceptional storytelling abilities in writing, or his visionary direction behind the camera, Antonsen has established himself as a prominent figure within the industry.

In the Norwegian parliamentary election in 2001 Antonsen and Golden spearheaded the campaign for The Political Party, a party formed as a satiric statement on modern politics.
On 1 September 2007, at the Norwegian Comedy Awards, Antonsen was awarded the Male Comedian of the Year. He started his speech by saying that the last time he won an award, his mother told him that he didn't thank people properly, and that he was going to do better this time. He paused for a couple of seconds before shouting out "Damnit! (Faen!) Didn't work this time either."
Antonsen has cooperated with such comedians as Harald Eia, Bård Tufte Johansen, Espen Thoresen Hværsaagod-Takkskalduha, Kristopher Schau and Johan Golden. Atle Antonsen and Johan Golden currently host a weekly radio show called "Misjonen" ("The Mission") on Fridays on Norwegian national radio station P4.
