With Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1 premiering January 29, 2026, and Part 2 set for February 26, the Regency-era Netflix hit continues to dominate streaming charts and boost its stars’ bank accounts. As the series—produced by Shondaland—enters its fourth installment focusing on Benedict Bridgerton’s romance with Sophie Baek, reports on cast earnings and net worths have surfaced, highlighting significant wealth accumulation from salaries, bonuses, endorsements, and side projects.
Net worth estimates vary by source, often drawn from Celebrity Net Worth, Finance Monthly, and industry outlets like FandomWire. Figures remain unofficial, as Netflix rarely discloses contracts, but patterns from previous seasons and comparable high-profile streaming deals provide context. Production costs per episode reportedly exceed $7 million in early seasons, rising with popularity, allowing for escalating pay.
At the top stands Julie Andrews, the voice of Lady Whistledown’s narration. As of 2026, her net worth is estimated at $30 million, per Celebrity Net Worth and multiple reports. The legendary actress, known for Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, commands substantial fees for her recurring role—rumors suggest up to $1 million or more per season for voice work alone, though unconfirmed. Her enduring career legacy, including residuals and other ventures, solidifies her as the wealthiest associated with the franchise.
Golda Rosheuvel, portraying Queen Charlotte, follows closely with estimates of $15-18 million. Her expanded presence in the spin-off Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and ongoing series role contribute significantly. Reports from outlets like The Financial Express indicate high per-season earnings, potentially in the millions, reflecting her pivotal status in the ton’s hierarchy.
Jonathan Bailey, who plays Anthony Bridgerton, has seen his net worth climb to around $4 million by 2026, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His trajectory includes lead duties in Seasons 2 and beyond, plus blockbuster films like Wicked (2024), Wicked: For Good (2025), and Jurassic World Rebirth (2025). Industry estimates place his Bridgerton salary at $150,000–$250,000 per episode in recent seasons, with additional income from theater, brand deals, and awards recognition—including Emmy nominations. Bailey’s real estate purchases, such as a seaside villa, underscore his financial growth.
Nicola Coughlan, as Penelope Featherington/Bridgerton, boasts a net worth ranging from $2 million (Celebrity Net Worth) to $4.75 million (Finance Monthly). Her salary reportedly rose from around $50,000 per episode in Season 1 to $250,000 in Season 3, with similar or higher figures for Season 4 amid her expanded arc. Coughlan’s Derry Girls fame and post-Bridgerton opportunities add to her earnings.
Simone Ashley (Kate Sharma) and supporting Bridgerton siblings like Luke Newton (Colin) and Luke Thompson (Benedict) hover in the $2-4 million range. Ashley’s estimated per-episode pay sits at $75,000+, boosted by her Season 2 lead and continued presence. Newton is reported around $200,000 per episode, while Thompson exceeds $100,000 as Season 4’s focal point. Newcomer Yerin Ha (Sophie Baek) enters with estimates of $2-3 million, reflecting her rising profile and lead salary in the $75,000–$100,000 range.
Earlier stars like Regé-Jean Page (Simon Basset, Season 1) maintain around $2 million, despite limited returns. Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne Bridgerton) saw early boosts but stepped back after Season 1.
The show’s success drives these figures: massive viewership, global appeal, and Netflix’s investment in high-caliber talent. Salaries have escalated season-over-season, with leads earning six figures per episode plus potential bonuses for streaming performance. Endorsements, film crossovers, and public appearances further inflate wealth.
Fan discussions on platforms like TikTok and Instagram highlight surprise at the disparities—narrators and veterans outpacing on-screen leads in some cases. Yet the ensemble’s collective rise reflects Bridgerton’s cultural impact since 2020.
As Season 4 unfolds Benedict and Sophie’s class-defying romance, the cast’s real-world fortunes underscore the franchise’s enduring draw. Renewals through future seasons promise continued financial gains.
Bridgerton’s opulent world may be fictional, but for its stars, the riches are very real—and growing.
