Starring in the highest-rated television series, Kaley earned up to $24 million per season. Her salary increased throughout the show, starting at $60,000 per episode in the first season and eventually reaching $1 million in the final seasons.
Endorsements and Production Ventures
Cuoco also boosted her net worth through endorsement deals with brands like Priceline and Toyota and her production company, Yes, Norman Productions, which produced the successful HBO Max series The Flight Attendant.
In addition to these ventures, Cuoco has invested in real estate and other opportunities, further diversifying her income streams.
While Kaley landed her breakthrough role as Bridget Hennessy on the ABC sitcom 8 Simple Rules in 2002, most of her net worth derives from The Big Bang Theory, for which she has received Satellite, Critics’ Choice, and People’s Choice Awards.
