‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ star Meryl Streep's net worth: How films built her fortune

According to the latest report by Celebrity Net Worth, she has a total net worth of USD 100 million (as of 2025).

It all started small but grew fast. Back in 1978, she grabbed USD 35,000 for her raw, Oscar-nominated work in ‘The Deer Hunter’. The next year, ‘Kramer vs. Kramer’ brought USD 85,000 and her first Academy Award win. Fast-forward to the 2010s, and she was commanding USD 20 million a pop for hits like ‘The Prom’ and ‘Little Women’. In 2022, she pulled in USD 24 million total, with at least USD 5 million from ‘Let Them All Talk’.

Meryl Streep’s real estate account

She’s no stranger to playing the real estate game. With husband Don Gummer, she sold off New York City pads, one going for USD 16 million after starting at USD 25 million in 2018. Today, they enjoy a cozy USD 3.6 million house in Pasadena, bought in 2017, and a quiet Connecticut getaway in Salisbury. All told, her properties are worth about USD 20 million and keep climbing in value.

Steady cash from TV and more

The movies are just the start; TV and extras keep things flowing. Fresh gigs like ‘Only Murders in the Building’ toss in USD 2-3 million a year. Royalties from voice gigs and over 50 films add another USD 3-5 million annually, plus USD 200,000 from smart investments. Throw in USD 1 million or so in personal stuff, and it’s a well-rounded pot.

Meryl Streep's career is not just about the money; she’s big on sharing it.
