Net Worth 2024
$30 million
As of December 2024, it’s estimated that Sara Gilbert has a net worth of about $30 million, based on information from different reliable sources. She has earned money from various sources, let’s break that down for you.
Acting has been a major source of income for Gilbert. She earned widespread acclaim with her performance as Darlene Conner in Roseanne (1988–1997; 2018), and also in the follow-up series, The Conners (2018–present). Roseanne brought her into stardom, and it is in The Conners that she continues to contribute to her consistent income. She has also acted in The Big Bang Theory, where she played the role of Leslie Winkle during 2007–2010 and then again in 2016, further consolidating her grip on comedy sitcoms. She also gained widespread critical appreciation by her act in the 1992 film Poison Ivy.
Production and hosting work are also some of the ways in which she gained her net worth. The Talk is a daytime talk show, which Gilbert wrote and produced along with co-hosting (2010-2019). The show itself showcased her talent and simultaneously broadened her scope aside from acting. She collected a significant amount of wealth and fame through her various portrayals of writer, producer, and host on this show.
Gilbert has been an author and director of several productions such as the sitcom Roseanne, and a short film entitled Persona Non-Grata, 1996. Though they do not bring her any revenue, she has also improved her experience and presence within the entertainment world.
Real estate investments also form part of her wealth. She has been identified as a smart property acquisition player, with one example being a $6.85 million mansion in Los Angeles, besides similar smart financial management beyond her career.
