Cast Of Gossip Girl: How Much Are They Worth Now?

In typical Shonda Rhimes fashion, Olivia Pope is one of the biggest baddest female bosses on television right now. The star of ABC’s political drama series, Scandal, tells the story of an illicit affair between Olivia Pope and the president of the United States and all the inner workings of her crisis management team as they take on high profile cases dealing with matters surrounding the White House. To make things even more interesting the co-executive producer of the show is George W. Bush’s former administration press aide, Judy Smith. It’s been four years since Scandal first premiered, now into season 6 we’ve decided to take a look back at how far the cast has come and see how much they are worth now:

10. Portia de Rossi

Estimated Net Worth: $20 million. Portia de Rossi, born as Amanda Lee Rogers is an Australian model and actress married to comedian and talk show host Ellen Degenres. Portia has a ton of acting credits to her name, her biggest roles have been on Arrested Development, Ally McBeal, Better Off Ted, Nip/Tuck and her current role as Elizabeth North on Scandal. She was also a part of the main cast on the early series Too Something and Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher — both only lasted for 22 episodes. She’s appeared in a bunch of television movies, the most notable was America’s Prince: The John F. Kennedy Jr. Story and done a few films, but nothing major. Her biggest was Cursed in 2005. Today her estimated net worth of $20 million comes from her leading roles on television, and she’s probably worth even more as she and Ellen DeGeneres register as a powerful A-list couple!

8. Guillermo Diaz

Estimated Net Worth: $800 thousand. This American actor has an extensive resume with a ton of film credits, his most recognizable roles have been in Half Baked, 200 Cigarettes and Stonewall. He’s only had two series regular roles on television, his first was on the series Mercy as Nurse Angel Garcia, and currently as Huck on Scandal. He’s had a number of recurring roles on shows like Law & Order, Cane, Poor Paul, Weeds, Love Bites and Poor Paul and one episode appearances on shows like Criminal Minds, The Sopranos, ER, Party of Five, Without A Trace and The Shield. Diaz’s lack of leading roles in film and television is why his worth is so low, but regardless he’s still doing pretty well for himself with an estimated net worth of $800 thousand!

2. Tony Goldwyn

Estimated Net Worth: $4 million. Tony Goldwyn is not only an actor, but also an experienced director. On Scandal alone he’s directed at least 69 episodes! He’s also directed numerous episodes on huge shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Dexter, The L Word, and Justified. He’s been the producer for films like A Walk on the Moon, Conviction and The Divide. Now onto his acting…Goldwyn’s appeared in over 35 films, his most notable roles (to name a few) have been in The Last House on the Left, Divergent, the voice of Tarzan, Joshua, Ghost, Nixon, and The Last Samurai. Scandal is his first main role on television, but he’s also appeared in numerous television movies and series like, Law & Order, Drop Dead Diva, The Good Wife, Dextor, Without A Trace, Frasier, and The L Word. We aren’t convinced he’s only worth $4 million. It’s probably higher, but it’s also important to note that he’s married and has two children which might deplete his earnings slightly. Overall he’s been quite successful we’d say!
