Here’s everything you need to know about Blake Lively’s net worth

Gossip Girl came back into our lives last year, and my feelings on the reboot are *still* best summarized as KEEP INJECTING IT DIRECTLY INTO MY BODY. If the original was any indication, this new instalment will continue to catapult its cast into stardom—I mean, Whitney Peak, Eli Brown, and Evan Mock are already super well-known. And if you’ve ever wondered how much money success they can look forward to seeing by the time the series wraps, look no further than the current bank account of one Blake Lively.

Curious as to how much money Blake made playing a millionaire on Gossip Girl? The answer is, quite literally, millions. Thanks to her 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.

Blake earned $60,000 per episode of Gossip Girl

And considering the show aired for six million years, aka 121 episodes, that's a lot of money. Specifically, ~$7,260,000.

FYI, 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. But apparently, she made $800,000 for A Simple Favor, which is…um…a lot. Literally, how can I pivot to being a successful actor real quick, pls advise.

She gets paid a huge amount for endorsements

Blake isn’t out here hawking Lysol wipes on Instagram, but when she *does* work with brands it's pretty freakin' cool. Like, 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 rumoured $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.

Don’t forget about, uh, Preserve

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, uh…guess it’s fair to assume she made some $$ from the project? Maybe?

P.S. 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 neighbour. Sooooo if Blake runs out of money, she can always sell some upstate New York real estate real quick.

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. 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.
