The Mindy Project: Morgan's 10 Best Quotes

The Mindy Project will be returning for the second half of season four in mid April, and despite hitting a small road bump last year when it was cancelled by Fox after only three seasons, things have quickly turned around. Hulu picked up the show for the fourth season which meant a few new changes to the cast and script, but one thing has remained the same — the show is incredibly funny! Created by Mindy Kaling, The Mindy Project has come a long way for the former screen writer of NBC’s series The Office, and she’s enjoyed a huge surge in her career since it aired. There’s been a ton of celebrity appearances on the show, but the best part about this show is the amazing close-knit cast! Here’s a look at how much the (former and current) cast of The Mindy Project is worth now:

10. Fortune Feimster

Estimated Net Worth: Unknown. As a writer and comedian in the industry, Fortune Feimster is a good friend of Mindy Kaling. She joined The Mindy Project as a regular cast member for the newest season in the role of nurse Collette. She’s mostly known for her work as a stand-up comedian, but she’s also appeared on a lot of popular shows like Workaholics, Mulaney, Glee, Life in Color, How Girls Walk By, Married, and the web series Go-Go Boy. She’s done many televised appearances as herself and even co-hosted the Chelsea Lately show! Her lack of leading roles or regular appearances on shows makes it hard to determine her net worth. She’s most likely sitting on a net worth of $300 to $400 thousand.

9. Rhea Perlman

Estimated Net Worth: $50 million. Rhea Perlman plays the character of Annette Castellano, Danny’s overbearing Italian mother. She is the most seasoned actress on the show with a huge number of film and television acting credits to her name, plus of course, her long-time marriage to Danny DeVito. She’s most recognized and well paid for her time on the television series Cheers, a role that earned her four Emmy Awards. She’s also had big roles in shows like Pearl, Hung and Kristie. She’s done numerous TV movies and had guest appearances on hit shows like Hot in Cleveland, Frasier, Ally McBeal, Law & Order and Wilfred, just to name a few. Her film credits are extensive, but her latest starring roles have been in Matilda, I’ll See You in My Dreams, Beethoven’s Big Break, Love Comes Lately, and Carpool. Rhea’s huge $50 million net worth is no surprise, especially with an A-list marriage and long running role on Cheers!
