Ever sit around and casually wonder how much money Blake Lively made playing a millionaire on Gossip Girl? The answer is, quite literally, millions. Thanks to her forever-iconic role as Serena van der Woodsen, Blake effortlessly transitioned from CW television star to major movie actor/sharer of Traveling Pants, and her bank account is pretty much overflowing as a result. Here’s a deep dive into the juicy details of Blake Lively’s net worth.
^Exclusive footage of me writing this article.
Blake Earned $60,000 per Episode of Gossip Girl
And considering the show aired for six years, aka 121 episodes, that’s a lot of money. Specifically, ~$7,260,000.
There isn’t much info about what the rest of the original Gossip Girl cast made for the show, but it seems fair to assume that Leighton Meester earned around the same amount as Blake considering they were both series leads!
And She Made $800,000 for A Simple Favor
Blake has been in a lot of movies over the years (including The Shallows, for which she was ROBBED of an Oscar nomination), but film salaries aren’t usually public knowledge. That said, apparently she made $800,000 for A Simple Favor, which is…um…a lot.
^Give her an award for this scene, you cowards.
She Gets Paid a Huge Amount for Endorsements
Blake isn’t out here hawking Lysol wipes on Instagram, but she does work with some major brands. I think we can all assume that being the face of L’Oréal Paris is kind of a sweet (read: multimillion-dollar) deal. And she got a rumored $4 million for a two-year Gucci campaign.
P.S. She also earned about $50,000 per store opening that she attended, which, okay, I would legit make a guest appearance for like 1/100th of that, so 😭😭😭.
She's Launched Multiple Brands
Blake’s highly-questionable lifestyle brand, Preserve, was pretty short-lived and it’s unclear how much—if any—money she made from the venture (especially since the items she sold were notoriously pricey).
But, since then she's launched a super cute drinks company called Betty Buzz (they have a tasty new vodka iced tea out), not to mention her new haircare line, Blake Brown Beauty. Stay tuned for exact numbers on how much $ she's bringing home, since these brands are relatively new!
Blake’s House (With Ryan Reynolds!) Is Worth $5.7 Million
Just a short drive away from New York City, the Lively-Reynolds home Bedford estate sits on two acres. Oh, and Martha freakin’ Stewart is her neighbor. Sooooo if Blake runs out of money, she can always sell some upstate New York real estate real quick.
The couple also own a gorgeous Tribeca apartment, which Blake's been known to give fans an inside look at:
So, What Is Blake Lively’s Total Net Worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, she’s sitting on a net worth of $30 million. And friends, that’s up from the $16 million she had when we first reported her net worth in 2020. So…it’s quite literally almost doubled in four years. Guess we shouldn’t be surprised, since Forbes once said Blake’s whole vibe is “don’t stop striving.” As she put it herself when she landed the magazine’s 30 Under 30 list, “I hope to never ever be complacent, because that’s one of the most tragic things I could ever be. I’ll never feel like I’ve arrived. The people I look up to the most are the people that are continuing to up their game.”
Speaking of upping one’s game, Blake, hit me up with your investment banker’s info, thx.
