Bridgerton has taken the world by storm the last few years, with season one debuting in 2020 and season two releasing earlier this year. The series takes place in 19th century England, following the story of Lords and Ladies, love and drama. This Netflix original was produced by Shonda Rhimes, and fans are already eagerly awaiting season three.
One reason fans love the cast is because while they are all talented, the stars are mostly unknown. Because of their status prior to season one, many hit a major growth in their net worth between the releases of each season. Here is how the Bridgerton stars’ net worths changed from 2020 to 2022.
8 Simone Ashley's Net Worth Increased By Over $2 Million
Simone Ashley joined the Bridgerton set for season two, portraying the character “Kate Sharma.” While she was not part of the cast for season one, Simone was best known in 2020 for the Netflix series Sex Education. Her net worth at that time was at approximately $200,000, as she had only been cast fourteen times since 2016. The most recent update shows that her net worth is now between $2-3 million.
7 Nicola Coughlan Over Doubled Her $700,000 Net Worth
While Irish actress Nicola Coughlan plays “Penelope Featherington” in the show, the role that boosted her to stardom was through the TV series Derry Girls. She has been cast in fifteen works thus far, one being a movie that is still filming, and many of those roles have been on television shows. Her net worth for season one of Bridgerton was around $700,000 but rose to $2 million after the release of season two.
6 Claudia Jessie Made A Multi-Million Dollar Leap Since Season 2
Claudia Jessie plays young “Eloise Bridgerton,” joining the cast in 2020. Before this job, she had worked on 25 other titles, such as the shows Vanity Fair, Dixi, and she even appeared on one episode of Doctor Who. Her net worth coming into the show was around $900,000 thanks to her involvement in these productions over the last decade. Her net worth is now $5 million, and she has three titles currently in the works.
5 Jonathan Bailey Added Half A Million To His $1 Million Net Worth
It may not have been a monumental increase, but Jonathan Bailey increased his net worth from approximately $1 million in season one to $1.5 million by the end of season two. Bailey portrayed “Lord Anthony Bridgerton,” one of the stars of the series, and came to the show with an impressive resume. Jonathan has acted in Sony’s 1985 Alice Through the Looking Glass, the Netflix film Sam, and an episode of Doctor Who. He is currently working on voicing a video game entitled Squadron 42.
4 Luke Thompson Doubled His $1 Million Net Worth
Luke Thompson was hired to play “Benedict Bridgerton,” coming to the series with only ten titles on his resume. Prior to season one, Thompson had a $1 million net worth thanks to his involvement in the film Dunkirk and the Shakespeare reenactments of Shakespeare’s Globe: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Complete Walk: Romeo and Juliet, and the 2018 production of Hamlet. In the last two years, Bridgerton has been the only project he’s worked on, bringing his net worth to $2 million.
3 Polly Walker More Than Tripled Her Net Worth Of $1.5 Million
Polly Walker started acting in 1989, adding big productions like Clash of the Titans and Emma (starring Gwenyth Paltrow) to her resume over the years. She was cast as “Lady Portia Featherington” in Bridgerton and had a net worth of $1.5 million when season one premiered. Since then, Walker has acted in two more TV shows entitled Cursed and Pennyworth, bringing her net worth up to an impressive $5 million at the beginning of this year.
2 Julie Andrews Lost $15 Million Since Season 1 Released
Julie Andrews is undoubtedly the most accomplished person hired for this hit series. While she is never seen, she was cast as “Lady Whistledown,” the narrator of the show. She is the most well-known of the cast, although she has only been in 46 productions since the start of her career in 1949. Some of her most famous titles include The Sound of Music and the Disney productions of The Princess Diaries and Marry Poppins. Her net worth dropped, however, from $45 million in season one to $30 million this year.
1 Golda Rosheuvel Had The Largest Net Worth Growth
The most impressive net worth growth goes to Golda Rosheuvel, who plays “Queen Charlotte.” In the beginning of season one, Golda came into the series with a net worth of $2 million after acting for two decades. When season two premiered, her net worth totaled $15 million thanks to not only her work in Bridgerton, but also the popularity of the film Dune. She is also currently filming a miniseries with Shonda Rhimes in which she will continue to act as “Queen Charlotte” in a story based off her character.
