Cast Of Gossip Girl: How Much Are They Worth Now?

The Good Wife has been on the air for 7 seasons and unfortunately recently announced the current season will be its last. Over its reign on-screen we’ve seen a lot of characters come and go, but what has remained is the incredibly intelligent storylines and dramatic tales behind the scenes of law and politics. The cast of the show is well seasoned with a ton of veteran actors who have been in the industry for quite some time. In honor of the last season, we’ve decided to take a look at how much the cast (even those who have come and gone) are worth:

10. Makenzie Vega

Estimated Net Worth: $1 million. Makenzie Vega is definitely one of the youngest actresses on The Good Wife and as a result doesn’t have as much experience as the rest of her co-stars. Makenzie’s first role was in the TV movie, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman: The Movie in 1999, but her big debut was in The Family Man. She had a starring role on the show The Geena Davis Show and starred in films like Just My Luck, X-Men: The Last Stand, Chestnut: Hero of Central Park, Saw, Made, Land of Women and Sin City. She’s made appearances on series like Ghost Whisperer and ER, but today she’s best known as Grace Florrick in The Good Wife. Her net worth sits around $1 million, but she’s only 22-years-old so it’s sure to get much bigger in the future!
