Netflix December 2020: What's Coming & Going

It has been quite a long time since Legally Blonde made its entrance into the realm of romantic comedies in 2001, yet it has stood the test of time with a talented cast, and quotes well known and well used in pop culture. Legally Blonde is packed full of well-known faces and, with so many stars, it isn’t surprising the film is so well loved by fans. The movie solidified Reese Witherspoon’s place on the A list and she has since become of the most dominant actresses in Hollywood, and there were some other pretty big stars in the film who also shared the spoils. Check out how much the stars of Legally Blonde are worth now!

9. Linda Cardellini

Estimated Net Worth: $3 Million. Linda Cardellini is an extremely versatile actress who has taken on roles across the spectrum in Hollywood, and many forget her part in Legally Blonde. Cardellini had been working steadily since the mid-90s appearing in shows such as Bone Chillers, Clueless, Boy Meets World and Freaks and Geeks before playing the role of Chutney in Legally Blonde. Since then she has been seen in Scooby-Doo, Brokeback Mountain, Grandma’s Boy, ER, Mad Men and has recently taken up voice acting for several shows. With a recurring role in Bloodline as well as other projects in the work, Cardellini has earned herself an estimated net worth of $3 million.

6. Victor Garber

Estimated Net Worth: $5 Million. Since stepping into acting full time in the ’70s, Victor Garber has been in a lot of big name television series as well as movies which makes it very surprising he is not worth more than $5 million. Garber had been in Three Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, E.N.G., Sleepless in Seattle, Titanic and many others before starring as Professor Callahan in Legally Blonde. Since then he has appeared in Tuck Everlasting, Alias, Justice, Eli Stone, Glee, Deception, Republic of Doyle, Web Therapy and The Flash. With a starring role in the show Legends of Tomorrow, it seems Garber is well on his way to adding quite a bit to his net worth.

5. Jennifer Coolidge

Estimated Net Worth: $8 Million. It seems if a role ever calls for an eccentric mother, aunt, stepmother or similar role, the one to call upon is almost always Jennifer Coolidge who has been making her statement in Hollywood since first appearing on Seinfeld back in 1993. Since then she has been in a slew of shows and movies including A Night at the Roxbury, American Pie, Down to Earth and of course as Paulette in Legally Blonde. She has had continued success with the American Pie and Legally Blonde sequels as well as roles in A Cinderella Story, Click, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Gravity Falls and 2 Broke Girls. With her numerous roles, Coolidge has made herself an estimated net worth of $8 million.

2. Luke Wilson

Estimated Net Worth: $30 Million. While Owen Wilson is arguably the bigger star, his brother Luke Wilson hasn’t definitely done well with his own acting career. Wilson starred in Scream 2, Home Fries, Blue Streak, My Dog Skip, and Charlie’s Angels before his role of Emmett in Legally Blonde. He has gone on to be recognized in The Royal Tenebaums, Old School, Anchorman, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Blades of Glory and many more. Wilson has also branched out into writing, producing and directing all of which along with his many starring roles have landed him a net worth of $30 million.

1. Reese Witherspoon

Estimated Net Worth: $80 Million. Reese Witherspoon has landed the starring role in many Hollywood blockbusters, but she is still well known for her portrayal of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, a role which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. While the film formed another peak in her career, Witherspoon had already made herself known with roles in The Man in the Moon, Freeway, Pleasantville, Cruel Intentions, Election, and American Psycho. She has of course had a very succesful career throughout the years thanks to movies like Vanity Fair, Walk the Line, This Means War, Water for Elephants and Wild. To say she has done well is an understatement — she has an $80 million net worth and only 48 acting credits to her name.
