Ugly Betty was not given its fair shake on TV with only a four season run from 2006-2010 before ending. Fans were rightfully outraged by its cancellation, yet since the show’s ending has gained somewhat of a cult following that has been great for keeping the show alive in re-runs, and also for creating hope of an Ugly Betty movie. The writing was witty, fun and emotional and perfectly played out by a great team of actors and actresses. Now that it has been six years since the show ended, take a look at how the cast has fared since with this list of how much they are worth now!
