While Gilmore Girls told funny and sweet stories about a mother and daughter in a tiny town for the majority of its run time, the seventh season was disappointing. Fans feel really nostalgic for the series since it celebrated its 20th anniversary in October 2020, and it's been fun to see what other TV and movie parts the cast has taken on since.
Which cast member on Gilmore Girls has the highest net worth? Everyone has been successful and fans have enjoyed seeing what they did after the show, so let's take a look.
Melissa McCarthy's $90 Million Net Worth
While some love stories on Gilmore Girls were awkward, one thing is for sure: the actors have become beloved and gone on to have really interesting careers.
At first, it might seem like Lauren Graham has the highest net worth of the cast members on Gilmore Girls. After all, Graham played Lorelai, one of the main characters, and also starred on the TV show Parenthood for six seasons. She also has had a fairly long movie career.
There's another cast member who has the most money in the bank, however, and that's the actress who played Lorelai's BFF, Sookie St. James.
Melissa McCarthy's net worth is $90 million. According to Celebrity Net Worth, it took her just about two decades to make a name for herself, but of course, once she did, she did so well. The website notes that McCarthy starred on the sitcom Mike and Molly, which brought in some money.
From September 2019 to September 2020, McCarthy got about $25 million from all of her various roles. From July 2016 to July 2017, she was paid $18 million, and in 2020, she got $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
What about Rory's love interests? Celebrity Net Worth puts Jared Padalecki's net worth at $12 million and reports that he made $125,000 for each episode of Supernatural. Milo Ventimiglia also has $12 million, and Matt Czuchry has a bit less at $3 million.
Net Worths Of The Other Cast Members
Although the other actors from the beloved show Gilmore Girls don't have quite as much money as Melissa McCarthy, they've definitely done very well for themselves.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lauren Graham has $15 million, and when she starred on Parenthood, she made $175,000 for each episode. It's interesting to learn that Scott Patterson, who played Lorelai's sweet soulmate Luke Danes, also has a net worth of $15 million.
The website puts Liza Weil's net worth at an impressive $3 million. Besides playing Paris Geller on Gilmore Girls, she spent several years on the legal thriller How To Get Away With Murder.
Alexis Bledel has a net worth of $6 million, and Celebrity Net Worth notes that it's "combined" with Mad Men actor, Vincent Kartheiser, who is her husband.
Kelly Bishop, who played Rory's grandmother Emily, has $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The 'A Year In The Life' Revival
It looks like the actors also got paid nicely for A Year In The Life: Graham and Bledel were paid $3 million, according to Cheat Sheet. This salary definitely helped contribute to the high net worths that the cast has.
According to Variety, Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel were paid $750,000 for every episode of the revival, and that was higher than other actors in the category of TV dramas. In contrast, Mark Harmon made $525,000 for every episode of NCIS and many stars of Game Of Thrones were paid a salary of $500,000 for every episode.
Not everyone was absolutely wild about the revival, and some fans thought that Rory had made too many mistakes in her career. In an interview with Vogue, creator Amy Sherman-Palladino talked about that and said, "I think it’s very real. I have a lot of 30-something-year-old people in my life now who still don’t know what their lives are.
Thirty-somethings are a little younger today than they used to be." She continued that 30-somethings move back home again after having some trouble.
Sherman-Palladino also said, "we thought it would be really interesting, especially since Rory was someone who had everything planned out and had chosen a career in journalism at a time when journalism is under fire."
How did Alexis Bledel feel about Rory's place in the revival? According to Elite Daily, Bledel said it was "a hard thing to digest." She explained, "It certainly wasn't the ending I was expecting. I told Amy that I hoped Rory would end on a high note. After all her hard work, I wanted to see her succeed and be thriving."
Melissa McCarthy brought her perfect comedic timing and physical comedy to her role as Sookie St. James on Gilmore Girls. With a $90 million net worth, the actress has done wonderfully and fans have loved following her, as she has starred in so many big comedies over the years.
