Last updated on: September 20, 2024
Maria Bello is one of those actresses you may have seen in so many different roles, but you might not immediately recognize her name. A native of Pennsylvania, born in ’67, she initially studied political science, planning on becoming a lawyer one day. But of course, life had other plans, and she began developing a passion for acting. I love when people just make bold moves like that-sometimes you just have to trust your gut, right?
Her big break came when she starred as Dr. Anna Del Amico on “ER”. If you remember how big that show was back in the day, you’ll know why this was a huge moment for her career. From there, she leapt into films such as “Coyote Ugly” and “A History of Violence”, really showing off her range.
What makes Maria even more inspiring is that she’s not even a talent for acting alone. She actually wrote a book, “Whatever…Love Is Love”, where she shared her thought process regarding love and identity. It’s real, personal, and something a lot of people can identify with. She has also been very vocal about LGBTQ+ rights by using her openness in public for her own experiences. One thing you know about some celebrities is how they use their platform to get behind some cause they care deeply about; Maria is definitely among them.
This was another example of how versatile she is when she joined the “NCIS” as Special Agent Jack Sloane. And just the way she keeps reinventing herself in ways that make you want to root for her.
As of November 2024, Maria Bello is 57 years and 7 months old, her estimated net worth is $15 million, and she stands at a height of 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm or 1.65 m) tall.

Net worth 2024
$15 million
As of November 2024, it’s estimated that Maria Bello has a net worth of about $15 million. She has earned her wealth from various sources, including acting, writing, producing, and advocacy work. Let’s break down how she makes money and where her income comes from.
1. Acting Career
Maria Bello is primarily a television and film actress, which has been her best sources of income.
- Television: She may have had some of her major early credits in this popular show called “ER” (1997–1998). Although her compensation for this series cannot be determined, lead actors at the time were said to be making hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode. She earns about $125,000 for every episode of her latest television series, playing a core character role in the TV drama “NCIS” (2017-2021). She played the role of Special Agent Jacqueline “Jack” Sloane. Her salary from “NCIS” alone was reported to be around $8.75 million from over 70 episodes.
- Movies: Bello has starred in Oscar-nominated films such as “A History of Violence” and “The Cooler,” and box office box office smashers like “Coyote Ugly” and “Prisoners.” Although the exact figures are not provided, lead and supporting actors in these mid-budget movies can earn between $1 million and $5 million per movie. According to the report, she earned anywhere from $1 million to $3 million in the film roles she acted in her movies.
2. From Writing and Publishing
Maria Bello is also a published author. Her book, “Whatever.Love Is Love: Questioning the Labels We Give Ourselves,” reflected on love, relationships, and identity. If writing isn’t her primary means of earnings, an advance on her book deal for a personality like hers might bring in $100,000 to $500,000 as well depending on how many copies she sells and how much the publisher advanced.
If the book was a bestseller, then she’d still earn through royalties.
3. Producing
Bello has tried her hand at production in television too apart from film. She co-produced the 2017 film “In Search of Fellini.” Dollars can get pretty rich to one’s pocket account for producing roles, especially if the movie is a huge hit. Not being a huge producer like most of her contemporaries in Hollywood, she must have gotten some monetary benefit, likely in the range of $200,000 to $500,000 from work done in this line of capacity.
4. Brand Endorsements and Public Speaking
Due to her popularity and activism, Maria Bello also participated in brand endorsements and public speaking, mainly in connection with LGBTQ+, gender equality, and individual power. No contract is available in the open, but figures for such appearances can range from $10,000 to $100,000 per occurrence.
5. Advocacy and Social Activism
She is a gay right activist and feminist. While those titles do not make much direct money, they certainly boost her public profile, thereby increasing opportunities for other income-generating activities, such as acting and public appearances.
6. Real Estate and Investments
Like most Hollywood stars, Maria Bello probably has money coming in from real estate investments or other business ventures, though information on her properties or portfolios isn’t readily available. The earning profiles of other stars are similar, and they seed millions into real estate or equities and these are appreciated on a regular basis.
