Jenna Ortega Net Worth: How Wednesday, Beetlejuice and Dior Built $11 Million

Jenna Ortega’s net worth is estimated at $11 million as of October 2026, built on more than a decade of TV work, the lead role in Netflix’s Wednesday, a run of studio and indie films, and beauty and fashion deals with Dior, Adidas and Neutrogena. She was born on September 27, 2002, and started acting as a child, so most of that money has come in the last four years.

Most sites still list her at $5 million, a figure that has not moved since before Wednesday season 2, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and her Dior Beauty role. Her pay has never been confirmed by Netflix or any studio, so the Radar Readout below shows each part of our estimate as a range, with the sources we used.

Jenna Ortega Net Worth at a Glance

How Jenna Ortega’s $11 Million Net Worth Is Built

We start from the long-running $5 million estimate, trim it for tax and spending, and add what she most likely kept from the work she has done since early 2024. Every lane below is a model, because none of her deals have been made public.

We assume she keeps about half of what she is paid after agents, managers, lawyers and tax, the same rule we use for other actors on Net Worth Radar.

Wednesday: From a Reported $30,000 an Episode to Producer

Wednesday premiered on Netflix in November 2022 and logged more than one billion viewing hours within a month of release. Ortega played the title role, and it changed her career. For season 1, Cosmopolitan reported she earned about $30,000 an episode, or roughly $240,000 for eight episodes. Neither Ortega nor Netflix has confirmed it.

For season 2, several outlets reported a pay bump to $250,000 an episode. That figure comes from unnamed reports and was never confirmed, so we treat it as the middle of a range. She was also promoted to producer ahead of season 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which usually brings an extra fee. Season 2 arrived in two parts, on August 6 and September 3, 2025.

Season 3 began filming near Dublin in February 2026 and wrapped at the end of September 2026. Netflix has not announced a premiere date. Our model assumes her season 3 pay is at least equal to season 2, since she is now both star and producer, but nothing has been reported.

She nearly did not take the role at all. She told The Sunday Times she passed on the offer more than once because she had already done a lot of TV and wanted to focus on film, and came back because of Tim Burton. In October 2026 she told Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast that she will probably be off TV for a while after Wednesday.

Child Actor Years: Jane the Virgin, Stuck in the Middle and You

Ortega’s first credits came in 2012 and 2013, including the sitcom Rob, an uncredited part in Iron Man 3 and Insidious: Chapter 2. She played young Jane in Jane the Virgin from 2014 to 2019, then led the Disney Channel series Stuck in the Middle as Harley Diaz from 2016 to 2018. In 2019 she played Ellie Alves in season 2 of Netflix’s You.

Pay for these roles was never reported by a major outlet. A podcast cited by Parade put her Stuck in the Middle pay at about $280,000 over three seasons, but Parade itself told readers to take those numbers with a grain of salt, so we do not use them in the model.

She also built a voice acting résumé, voicing Princess Isabel in Elena of Avalor from 2016 to 2020 and a lead in Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous from 2020 to 2022.

Scream, X and the Scream Queen Years

Ortega’s horror run made her a film name. She played Tara Carpenter in Scream (2022) and Scream VI (2023), and Scream VI grossed more than $169 million on a budget of $33 million to $35 million. She also starred in X (2022), The Fallout (2021) and American Carnage (2022).

Figures of $520,000 for Scream and $5 million for Scream VI circulate online, but they come from a podcast and are not backed by any trade report, so we leave them out. In November 2023 she left the Scream franchise, saying another film did not seem like the right move with the cast and crew changing.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Her 2025 and 2026 Films

Her biggest film so far is Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, released on September 6, 2024. She played Astrid Deetz, Lydia’s daughter, and the film grossed $452 million worldwide on a budget of about $100 million. Her fee was not reported.

She has kept busy since:

• Death of a Unicorn (2025), a horror comedy
• Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025), which critics panned
• The Gallerist, a Sundance 2026 art world satire with Natalie Portman, directed by Cathy Yan and acquired by Roadside Attractions and Vertical for a December 4, 2026 US release
• Klara and the Sun, Taika Waititi’s adaptation for Sony, in which she plays the android Klara. It opened on October 23, 2026 and took $701,059 from 880 theaters in its first weekend, per The Numbers
• The Great Beyond, a J.J. Abrams film due in 2027

Our films lane assumes she kept $1.5 million to $5 million in total from these projects, with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Klara and the Sun the largest checks.

Brand Deals: Dior, Adidas and Neutrogena

Ortega has been a Neutrogena ambassador since 2020 and became an Adidas ambassador in 2023, the same year she started working with Dior. In May 2025, Dior Beauty named her its global makeup ambassador. She also appeared in a Doritos Super Bowl LVIII ad in 2024. None of these deals have disclosed values.

Her social following adds to her value as a spokesperson. Back in 2022 and 2023, reports put her rate at up to $78,000 per sponsored Instagram post, though Women’s Health noted the figure could not be confirmed. She also published a book, It’s All Love: Reflections for Your Heart & Soul, in January 2021.

Awards and Recognition

Wednesday earned Ortega a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Golden Globe nominations for both seasons and Screen Actors Guild nominations. She was named to The Hollywood Reporter’s Power 100 in 2023 and Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2024, and won an Imagen Award in 2018 for Stuck in the Middle.

Why Other Sites Say $5 Million

Magazine roundups in 2025 and 2026 repeat the same $5 million figure without new research. Since that number was set, she has led two more Wednesday seasons as star and producer, appeared in a $452 million hit and signed with Dior Beauty, which is why we put her higher.
