With $15 Mil Net Worth, Here's How Much Rachel Brosnahan Earns From Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
It looks like the actress earned most of her fortune thanks to the Amazon Prime show.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a dramedy show centered on Miriam 'Midge' Maisel, a former housewife seeking to rebuild her life and achieve success as a stand-up comedian back in 1950s.
Midge is Rachel Brosnahan's third notable role after playing Rachel Posner in House of Cards and Abby Isaacs in Manhattan — and it's certainly her greatest and best-paid role so far. For her amazing performance as Mrs. Maisel, Brosnahan won a Primetime Emmy Award and two Golden Globes, among a bunch of other accolades.
Starring in the Amazon Prime series, Rachel Brosnahan also made quite a bit of money. Currently, the actress is estimated to have a net worth of $15 million, which is actually a lot for a TV actress whose breakthrough occurred not so long ago. So how much of this fortune did Brosnahan earn through her work on the Amazon Prime show?
As it appears, a substantial part of Rachel Brosnahan's net worth has come from playing Mrs. Maisel — but not all of it, in fact. For the first two seasons, she earned only $100,000 per episode, which amounts to less than $2 million in total for both.
However, her salary tripled in the subsequent seasons, reaching $300,000 per episode or about $2.4 million for one season.
Given that the show is now in its fifth season and assuming that Rachel has been paid in advance, we arrive at $9.5 million (out of $15 million) earned for the whole series. In addition to her iconic role as Mrs. Maisel, the actress has played a number of TV, film, and theater roles — but none of them has been as lucrative as the Amazon series, of course.
It looks like Brosnahan is one of those few stars who can manage her money well.
Although it's also possible that Celebrity Net Worth and other Internet sources exaggerate her fortune, we can still safely say that the actress is quite thrifty by celebrity standards.
So if you like Rachel Brosnahan's acting and think she totally deserves the money she's earning, the best way to support her is by watching Marvelous Mrs. Maisel — the next episode of the show's fifth and final season is airing on April 21, 2023.
