Net Worth: $5 Million
What Is Jenna Ortega’s Net Worth
PopularImages / Depositphotos.comJenna Ortega’s net worth is estimated to be around $5 million and she’s earned that fortune in a rather short period.
Ortega started her acting career as a child, taking roles in television series such as “Jane the Virgin” and “Stuck in the Middle.” As she transitioned into adulthood she made a name for herself as the newest “scream queen” in such movies as “The Fallout,” “American Carnage,” and “Scream VI.”
Most recently, Ortega’s star has risen thanks to the Netflix supernatural horror-comedy series “Wednesday” in which she plays the show’s star, Wednesday Addams.
How Much Does Jenna Ortega Earn From Wednesday?
imagepressagency / Depositphotos.comJenna Ortega’s first season of “Wednesday” was reportedly worth $240,000. That means Ortega earned just $30,000 per episode for the show’s first eight episodes.
According to KoiMoi, the actress was able to negotiate a pay bump for Wednesday season two and the difference is night and day. Ortega will reportedly receive $250,000 per episode.
“Wednesday” has been one of the biggest hits in Netflix history and if season two lives up to the hype, Jenna Ortega’s net worth could take another huge bump for a possible season three.
What’s most amazing about Jenna Ortega’s role in Wednesday is that she almost turned it down in favor of potential movie projects.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Ortega revealed, “I got the email, passed on it. I had done so much TV in my life, all I’ve ever wanted to do is film.The only reason I went back is because Tim [Burton, director and executive producer of Wednesday] is such a legend, and we just happened to get along very well. But even then I said, ‘Ah, no — I think I’m OK,’ a couple [more] times.”

One big advantage of voice acting is that actors perform a small amount of work and as their profile grows, they can easily fit that work into their busy schedules, often gradually increasing their net worth over the years.

Speaking of Instagram, it’s estimated that Jenna Ortega’s net worth increases by around $78,000 per sponsored post on the social media platform.
