Pauley Perrette net worth: How much is NCIS star’s net worth?

PAULEY PERRETTE became internationally known for her role as Abby Sciutto on NCIS. But what is the star’s net worth?

NCIS season 18 is currently airing on CBS on Tuesday evenings for fans of the cr1me procedural to enjoy. However, one character who is not back is forensic scientist Abby Sciuto (played by Pauley Perrette) who starred on the show for 15 seasons. Since her exit in 2018, the actor has also starred in her own CBS sitcom called Broke but many might be wondering what her net worth is and how much she was paid for NCIS.

How much is Pauley Perrette’s net worth?

Perrette is primarily known for appearing in NCIS from its pilot episode until her exit in 2018.

Her character Abby was a key part of the cr1me-solving team as the resident forensic scientist.

She was known for her excellent cr1m1nal knowledge, gothic looks and love of Caf-Pow.

However, the character is no longer part of the show after the actor left the series in the 15th season.

Many viewers still miss her in the show, which is currently airing its 18th outing on CBS.

As a result, many will be keen to know more about the actor, including what she’s been up to and what her net worth is.

This is currently estimated to be $22 million (£16 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Much of this will be due to her salary when she was on the hit cr1m1nal procedural.

During her time on the show, she is thought to have earned as much as $200,000 (£145,000) per episode for her role and $8.5 million (£6.1 million) per season.

However, TV Guide has also reported she received $175,000 (£127,000) per episode in their round-up of highest-paid stars in 2012.

Syndication of the television series may also drive up Perrette’s salary.

This is because NCIS is shown on channels all over the world as well as airing as repeats on other US networks.

This means the actors who appear in these episodes are also entitled to royalties.

Celebrity Net Worth reports Perrette was paid slightly less than her co-star Michael Weatherly who was thought to earn $250,000 (£182,000) per episode for his final seasons.

Both stars were paid less than the show’s lead actor Mark Harmon who is still one of the highest-paid actors on television.

The publication reports he is paid $525,000 (£380,000) per episode of NCIS.

In a usual 24-episode season, this works out to be $12.6 million (£9.2 million).

This is before his salary as an executive producer is taken into account as well.

Aside from appearing on NCIS, Perrette’s net worth will also be from her roles in other projects.

These include Fantasy Hospital, When We Rise, FCU: Fact Checkers Unit and 24.

She also starred as the lead in CBS comedy Broke in 2020 but this was cancelled after only one season.

Perrette is now retired from acting and lives in Hollywood, California.

She confirmed she was stepping back from the limelight on Twitter back in July 2020.

She tweeted: “Actually I retired after NCIS but BROKE was important, beautiful.

“I did my last dance & am proud of it! Everyone that knows me knew I was retiring right after. I’m proud of my work.”
