In the mood to feel super great about your finances and not at all like you got into the entirely wrong profession? Great, gather 'round to go over the shocking net worths of celebrities who are making so much money per year, they're literally breaking richness records. It's called being relatable :)
Even B-list and C-list actors make Scrooge McDuck look basic these days, thanks to Instagram spon-con, but we're here to talk about the celebrity one percent—aka actors and musicians who are padding their net worths with millions per year. How are they doing it, you ask while gently crying? Usually thanks to a combination of their day job, a hefty number of endorsements, and a personal brand or two that we can't stop pouring all our hard-earned money into (yes, I am talking about Skims).
And while some of the names on this list are obvious (think Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and other casual billionaires), there are a ton of celebs who are low-key loaded without it being a ~thing~ in the pop culture zeitgeist. Like, let's just say Tom Cruise has been making a lot of money for throwing himself out of random planes all these years, and I'm personally still coming down from how much Channing Tatum made from Magic Mike.
Check out the mind-blowing net worth of these celebs, and warning: Don't read this article directly after checking your bank account.
Emma Watson: $85 Million
Ever wondered how rich the cast of Harry Potter is? Lemme give you a little idea: Emma Watson's total net worth is $85 million. She made $70 million of that thanks to playing Hermione, and another $15 million thanks to Beauty and the Beast. BRB while I cast YET ANOTHER "accio money" spell.
Channing Tatum: $80 Million
On top of making $40 million for Magic Mike, Channing Tatum takes home upwards of $20 million per movie. As in, that's his baseline paycheck. So yeah, not surprising that his total net worth is $80 million.
Jennifer Lopez: $400 Million
You WILL be on the floor (heh) when you hear what J.Lo's net worth is. But first, a few fun facts: She earned $101.9 million for her 121-show Vegas residency and has a fragrance franchise worth $2 billion. Add that to all the $$$ she's made from movies, tours, and chart-topping singles, and J.Lo has a net worth of $400 million.
Kaley Cuoco: $100 Million
Gonna need you to take a deep breath and grab a paper bag to deep breathe into before we drop Kaley's Big Bang Theory earnings. Kay, ready? She made an estimated $163,380,000 for the show.
No words, just DJSADKJAKDHSJKAHD. Anyway, Kaley's total net worth is $100 million. It's fine, I'm fine!
Prince Harry: $60 Million
Prince Harry's net worth is a reported $60 million, thanks to various trust funds he has due to being a casual royal + his recent deals with Netflix and Spotify. But prepare to watch that number skyrocket thanks to a little something called Spare.
Sarah Jessica Parker: $200 Million
Once upon a time, Sarah Jessica Parker starred in Sex and the City, launched a profitable shoe line, and got that HBO reboot money. And just like that, she was rich! To the tune of $200 million.
Michael B. Jordan: $25 Million
Thanks to projects like Creed and Black Panther, major endorsements with the likes of Apple TV, and a pretty extensive real estate portfolio, Michael B. Jordan has a rapidly growing net worth of $25 million that shows no signs of slowing down.
Kim Kardashian: $1.8 Billion
Forbes officially declared Kim Kardashian a billionaire back in 2021—but in January of 2022, they revised that number to $1.8 billion. Relatable as ever.
Jackie Chan: $400 Million
After bringing in $2.6 billion in box office sales worldwide with over 200 movies, it's no surprise that Jackie Chan has a reported net worth of $400 million! And get this: He plans to give every dollar away.
The Rock: $800 Million
The Rock made $124 million in 2018 alone and is one of the highest paid celebs on Instagram. Expect him to settle into billionaire status soon, because his net worth is $800 million. On that note, a quick Q&A...
Q: Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?
A: Money.
Lauren Conrad: $40 Million
Despite being "The Girl Who Didn't Go to Paris," Lauren Conrad made $125,000 per episode of The Hills. But her real money came thanks to her fashion line and books. Nowadays? LC is worth $40 million. Read it and weep. (No, like literally, I'm near tears.)
Tom Cruise: $600 Million
Go ahead and take a guess at how much Tom Cruise is worth. 100 million? Please. $200 million? Don't make me lol. This man is worth $600 million, thanks to starring in the likes of Top Gun and Mission Impossible. He reportedly makes $7,091 per word of dialogue, THAT'S the level of rich he is.
Mariska Hargitay: $100 Million
If you've ever wondered how much Mariska Hargitay makes for starring on Law & Order: SVU, the answer is $500,000 per episode. Which adds up to $13 million per season. AND SHE DESERVES EVERY PENNY. Anyway, Mariska's total net worth is $100 million, which...!!!!!
Priyanka Chopra: $70 Million
Priyanka Chopra's net worth is $70 million, thanks to her extensive work in both Bollywood and Hollywood, her multiple personal brands, and her gazillllllllion endorsements.

Angela Bassett: $25 Million
Angela Bassett has a reported net worth of $25 million (that's a combined net worth with her husband Courtney B. Vance), in part thanks to her hefty payday for 9-1-1. And by hefty, I mean $450,000 per episode!
Jennifer Aniston: $320 Million
On top of making $1 million per episode during the last seasons of Friends, Jennifer Aniston makes about $20 million annually in royalties, $2 million per episode of The Morning Show, ~$8 million per movie, and millions in endorsements and brands. Basically, she has so many streams of income, she could never work again and be fine (by which I mean, super rich). Her total net worth? $320 million.
Naomi Osaka: $45 Million
Turns out being one of the best tennis players in the world pays, because Naomi Osaka has a net worth of $45 million. As of 2022, Naomi had more than $21 million in championship prize money, and she earned another $58 million from endorsement deals. (This is before taxes, etc.!)
Dolly Parton: $650 Million
You're truly not prepared for how much money Dolly Parton makes a year. For starters, back in 2021, Forbes reported that "9 to 5" and "Jolene" gross about $6 million to $8 million in royalties annually. Meanwhile, her music catalog is estimated to be worth $150 million. And Dolly's portion of Dollywood, you ask? Worth another $165 million. Hardly a shock that her net worth is $650 million!
Prince William: $100 Million
Prince William (or as Twitter calls him, the "Prince of Pegging") has the same trust funds that his brother does. But because he's first in line to the throne, this dude also has access to the Duchy of Cornwall—a private "portfolio of property and financial investments" that nets him ~£23 million a year. Thanks to that, uh, perk, his total net worth is $100 million.
Millie Bobby Brown: $14 Million
Last time we checked, Millie Bobby Brown was making $250,000 per episode of Stranger Things and about $10 million for the Enola Holmes sequel. Her net worth? $14 million. Is now a good time to mention she's just 18? 🙃
Mindy Kaling: $35 Million
Because you're all wondering, Mindy Kaling earned $60,000 per episode of The Office. Though, that doesn't include the money she makes in syndication. These days, Mindy is making millions thanks to what THR calls a "massive six-year, mid-eight-figure overall deal" with Warner Bros., which is worth about $8.5 million a year. Her net worth is currently $35 million, but expect that number to shoot up, thanks to the popularity of Never Have I Ever and Sex Lives of College Girls.
Ben Affleck: $150 Million
Let's just go through some quick financial highlights of Ben Affleck's career: He made $15 million for Paycheck, $12.5 million for the experimental art house film known as Gigli, $35 million for Dawn of Justice, and $55 million for various projects in 2022 (including The Last Duel). Ben's total net worth? $150 million. And that doesn't even include what he's making for his Dunkin' commercial.
Margot Robbie: $40 Million

Bad Bunny: $40 Million
Bad Bunny was Spotify's most-streamed artist globally in 2020, and he's made an absolute fortune touring—leading to a total net worth of $40 million. There's definitely some kinda pun to make involving Bad Bunny and Good Money, but I'm too traumatized by my own financial state to think it through.
Awkwafina: $8 Million
Thanks to savvy real estate investments, brand endorsements, and movies/TV, Awkwafina has a net worth of $8 million. And unlike some people (me), she's big on saving it!
Michelle Yeoh: $40 Million
Michelle Yeoh has been acting forever, and every role she takes on is more iconic than the next (not to mention lucrative—Everything Everywhere All at Once was A24's highest-grossing movie of all time). As a result, Michelle's net worth is a casual $40 million and counting!
Ariana Grande: $240 Million
Ariana Grande's net worth was $240 million as of November 2022—which was up from $180 million the year prior. Between her beauty line and the upcoming Wicked movie, gonna assume this number will double by the end of 2023.
Kylie Jenner: $750 Million
So, Forbes declared Kylie Jenner a billionaire, but then took it back in an article iconically called "Inside Kylie Jenner's Web of Lies—and Why She's No Longer a Billionaire." The whole thing was honestly very dramatic, so you can read about it over here. Point is: she's rich, now with an estimated net worth of $750 million.
Sydney Sweeney: $5 Million
Between The White Lotus, Euphoria, and the upcoming Madame Web movie, Sydney Sweeney is everywhere. And she has the salary to match. Sydney has a net worth of $5 million, though she recently caused some controversy by declaring, "They don't pay actors like they used to."
Zoe Saldaña: $40 Million
Zoe Saldaña's total net worth is $40 million, but there's speculation that she's been underpaid throughout the years for some of her more famous roles. Example? Zoe made a reported $100,000 for Guardians of the Galaxy, while Chris Pratt was paid $1.5 million.
Florence Pugh: $8 Million
No details on her per-movie rate, but Florence Pugh's net worth is a reported $8 million. Frankly, she should have made that just for dealing with the Don't Worry Darling press tour.
Kris Jenner: $170 Million
Kris Jenner gets 10 percent of everything her kids make, and considering she has two billionaires in the family (well, TBD on Kylie), it's no wonder she has a net worth of $170 million!
Rihanna: $1.7 Billion
Thanks to her music, her movies, and all her brands, Rihanna has officially ascended to billionaire status. Makes sense, considering she earns $70 million per year, with a net worth of $1.7 billion. Just to repeat that number real quick, that's...
70.
million.
dollars.
per.
year.
Shakira: $300 Million
Much like Shakira's hips, her bank account doesn't lie. And by that, I mean she has a net worth of $300 million.
Pete Davidson: $8 Million
Pete Davidson was making a rumored $500,000 per season for SNL at his peak, and now he's out here making $500,000 per episode for his upcoming show Bupkis. His net worth is currently $8 million, but it was "just" $2 million in 2018. The man is unstoppable.
Lily Collins: $25 Million
Lily Collins's Emily in Paris salary isn't public, but we have a personal theory that she's earning around $300,000 per episode (we go into slightly deranged and speculative details over here). Either way, her net worth is $25 million, and she's set to inherit about $100 million with her siblings.
King Charles: ~$500 Million
Breaking news: this man is rich. King Charles has between $500 and $600 million, thanks to becoming England's monarch—and he also happens to own every swan in the U.K.
Harry Styles: $120 Million
Most of Harry Styles's money comes from touring and merch (especially during his One Direction days), and he's currently worth $120 million. Mostly from me buying tickets to Love on Tour, tbh.
Olivia Munn: $15 Million
Olivia Munn has a reported net worth of $15 million, thanks in part to a series of seriously genius investments in brands like Uber, Wag, and Vital Proteins. Teach us your ways, Olivia!
Zendaya: $20 Million
Between Spider-Man, Euphoria, Disney, and being a fashion girlie with brands lining up for endorsements, Zendaya has a cool $20 million to her name. But watch that number get even bigger once Dune 2 drops.
Miley Cyrus: $160 Million
In case you hadn't heard, Miley Cyrus can buy herself flowers. Makes sense since her net worth is $160 million.
Taylor Swift: $400 Million
Taylor Swift's net worth? A not-that-surprising $400 million. Taylor Swift's cat's net worth? A completely jaw-dropping $97 million.
Olivia Rodrigo: $8 Million
Not sure why the many breakup songs I wrote about my ex didn't go to #1 and help me amass a net worth of $8 million—but congrats, Olivia Rodrigo.
Ellen Pompeo: $80 Million
Ellen Pompeo has made huuuuUUuuUUuuuuuge amounts of money from Grey's Anatomy. Before her last episode in early 2023, she earned $550,000 per episode, plus another $6 million annually from her share of syndication profits. Her total net worth is $80 million!
Selena Gomez: $95 Million
Sel's net worth is $95 million, thanks to her music sales, tours, production company, and Rare Beauty, which has been taking all my money since its launch.
Adele: $220 Million
Some fun facts for you: Adele made ~$55 million touring back in 2017, is expected to make $64 million from her Vegas residency, and has a net worth of $220 million. Which is approximately $220 million more than me.
Anne Hathaway: $80 Million
As Princess of Genovia, Anne Hathaway obviously has a ton of money (a net worth of $80 million, to be exact). She made $400,000 for Princess Diaries, $1 million for Devil Wears Prada, and $10 million for Les Mis. Meanwhile, WeCrashed earned her $750,000 per episode.
Sadie Sink: $1 Million
Sadie Sink's net worth is "only" $1 million, which is a lot lower than some of the other names on this list. But considering she is only 20 and most of her income is from Stranger Things? Pretty impressive.
Jenna Ortega: $3 Million
Jenna Ortega has been working in the industry for forever, but she ascended to a new level of fame thanks to Wednesday—and now her net worth is $3 million. Also, she gained 10 million new Instagram followers in just 10 days, so pretty sure her rate per-post is about to be next-level.
Jennifer Coolidge: $6 Million
Thrilled to report that Jennifer Coolidge has a net worth of $6 million due to being a living legend (and also roles in everything from The White Lotus to Legally Blonde).
Rita Ora: $30 Million
Thanks to massive salaries on The Voice Australia, The Masked Singer, and The X Factor (think north of $1 million per season), Who? Weekly fave Rita Ora is sitting on a reported net worth of $30 million. Was not prepared for that!
Daniel Craig: $160 Million
Daniel Craig's net worth is a massive $160 million. Mostly because Netflix forked over $100 million to Daniel for starring in the Knives Out movies—AND he's made $85.4 million for playing James Bond.
Trevor Noah: $100 Million
Back when he starred on The Daily Show, Trevor Noah's salary was somewhere between $5 to $8 million per season—but he signed a new contract in 2017 that bumped him up to $16 million per season. Meaning he's made somewhere around $100 million for the show. Which also happens to be his reported net worth!
Kate Middleton: $10 Million
Even before joining the royal family and becoming a duchess (and then a princess) Kate Middleton was rich. Her family has a multi-million-dollar brand called Party Pieces, she lived in an apartment valued at £1 million, and her personal net worth is $10 million!
Meghan Markle: $60 Million
Meghan Markle was a successful actress long before she married Prince Harry, but her net worth has definitely grown since she and Harry moved to California. Thanks in partly to her deals with Spotify and Netflix, Meghan has a net worth of $60 million. The royal family who?
