Net Worth 2024

$12 million

As of December 2024, it’s estimated that Keri Russell has a net worth of about $12 million. She made this fortune from movies, television series, and various sponsorships that complement her income.

Earning from Television Series:

• Felicity (1998-2002): For the lead character, the teenage actress was paid a staggering amount. The figures are not known, but some lead roles in television series at the time were getting around $30,000 to $50,000 per episode; of course for the main character, Felicity Porter, it had to be much higher than that.
• The Americans (2013-2018): For her lead role in this critically acclaimed series, Elizabeth Jennings, it was reported she made more money for her role season after season as the show’s popularity grew. At her career level, she would have commanded between $100,000 and $200,000 per episode of a prime-time series.
• The Diplomat (2023): Her work in this popular Netflix political drama series probably paid much more as a result of her already being established and because Netflix pays very competitive, sometimes up to $200,000 to $500,000 per episode to top actors.

Earning From Movies:

She acted in movies such as Mission: Impossible III (2006) and Waitress (2007), which yielded high paychecks. Although her earnings cannot be revealed, a lead role in a successful box office movie would make one approximately between $500,000 and as high as $1 million, depending on the movie’s budget and other factors.

Endorsements and Others

She has signed many endorsement deals in the course of her career, which is added income. Details may not be available, but lead actors generally get such deals that range from a half-million to seven-figure amount every year, based on the brand and the campaign.

She is also earning residual pay for her work in Felicity and The Americans since the shows are running in streams and syndication with no apparent end.
