What is Blake Lively’s net worth?

Does playing a millionaire on TV make you one in real life?

You don’t become a household name without having a bank account to prove it. Just ask Blake Lively.

Chances are you know Blake Lively for one of three things: starring as Serena van der Woodsen in the hit CW series Gossip Girl, playing Bridget in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, or being best friends with Taylor Swift. Oh, and also being one half of Hollywood’s most beloved power couple as the wife of Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds.

To make a dad pun Reynolds would be proud of, Lively has had a — ahem — lively career. She successfully transitioned from small screen mainstay to silver screen superstar, and although she took a three-year hiatus to raise her three children (now four), her name has never really been far from the tips of our tongues.

In fact, you’d be forgiven for not knowing she took a hiatus at all. But that’s in the past now — Lively is officially returning to the big screen as Lily in the movie adaption of Colleen Hoover’s mega-successful New York Times bestseller novel It Ends With Us. But don’t let the notion of going back to work fool you. Lively is far from short on cash. In fact, the opposite couldn’t be more true. Let’s just say she has a net worth Serena van der Woodsen would be proud of.

Believe it or not, Lively earned a staggering $60,000 per episode of Gossip Girl, according to CBS. $60,000… that’s more than some people make in a year. And she filmed anywhere from 18 to 25 episodes across six seasons (121 episodes in total). If you do the math, she could have earned upwards of $7,260,000 for the entirety of Gossip Girl. No, that’s not normal, in case you were wondering.

But Lively’s fortune doesn’t stop there. She made $800,000 for working alongside Anna Kendrick in the 2018 black comedy crime thriller A Simple Favor, according to Yahoo! Finance. Factor that into the dozen or more films she’s appeared in — The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009), The Town (2010), Savages (2012), The Age of Adaline (2015), The Shallows (2016), All I See Is You (2016), The Rhythm Section (2020) and more — and you’ve got yourself a hefty chunk of change.

Of course, Lively’s fortune isn’t all from acting gigs alone. High-profile sponsorships with fashion brands also play into her net worth. At one point, she earned $4 million for a two-year partnership with Gucci and — get this — $50,000 for every time she attended a store opening. $50,000 just to attend a store opening. That kind of hustle would make Serena wipe a silent, prideful tear.

But again, acting and sponsorships aren’t the only contributing factors to Lively’s wealth. Her marriage to Reynolds also plays a big part. Their Bedford, New York, house spans two acres and is now worth $5.7 million. Oh, and she’s neighbors with Martha Stewart, just in case you needed some context.

That brings Lively’s net worth to $30 million per Celebrity Net Worth. I guess playing a millionaire does have its perks. As Serena would say, “Don’t let people tell you who you are. You tell them.” We got the message loud and clear, Blake!
