Laura Linney net worth: How much is the Ozark star worth?
You’ll probably recognize award-winning actress Laura Linney as Ozark star Wendy Byrde, Cathy Jamison from The Big C or from one of her many other acting roles she’s had over her long career in Hollywood.
One thing that comes with a long career, is an impressive net worth. But how much is Linney — who plays the wife of financial advisor Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), who relocates their family to Missouri to launder money for a Mexican drug cartel — worth in real life?
We’ve got all the details on Laura Linney’s net worth as of 2022, and how much she got paid for starring on the hit Netflix show below. Without further ado here’s how she earned her vast fortune!
Laura Linney net worth
Although Celebrity Net Worth reports that the 57-year-old actress boasts an impressive $10 million fortune, we actually think Laura Linney’s net worth could be much higher than that.
Her principal sources of income are, of course, from the many roles she’s starred in during her career, but we believe Netflix’s paychecks for starring on Ozark contributed the most to her healthy bank status.
The two-time Golden Globe-winning actress is among the highest earners on Netflix’s top crime drama. According to Variety, as of 2017, Laura Linney earned around $300,000 per episode, the same amount as her on-screen husband and co-star Jason Bateman.
Assuming her salary stayed the same in the following years, Laura Linney would have earned around $9 million alone for seasons 1 through 3, with every season numbering 10 episodes each. But since Ozark season 4 is made up of 14 episodes, we expect her to earn at least $4.2 million from part 1 and part 2 of the show’s finale.
So taking all of this into consideration, we would actually guesstimate Ozark’s Laura Linney’s net worth as being closer to $18 million as of Jan. 2022. But this has not been confirmed by the actress herself.
