2. Kaley Cuoco (Penny): $45 Million net worth
The character that brought the big collision into Leonard’s and Sheldon’s world is up next. Penny is a typical girl who came to Los Angeles to become an actress. Of course, she ended up waitressing for a long time as she keeps failing auditions.
Since the first day they became neighbors, Penny and the two guys had a lot of interesting interactions. Penny was in an on and off relationship with Leonard. She became close to Sheldon and they have some sort of Elliot-E.T. relationship (referring to Sheldon’s alien-ish quirks).
Kaley Cuoco, the actress, is paid $1 million per episode. She is also one of the main casts of The Big Bang Theory who got a huge salary raised due to the inclining rating of the show.
Kaley appeared on 207 out of 208 episodes of the show. Today, she has a $45 million net worth from her acting career. She can be seen in several movies like The Wedding Ringer and Alvin and The Chipmunks.
