As the star and former wife of X-Files David Duchovny is about to launch a new politics-based televisions series, what is Tea Leoni's net worth currently, as she enters her new CBS series 'Madam Secretary'?

The actress, who was married to fellow actor, X-Files and Californication star David Duchovky, from 1997 to 2011, has been a household name since the late 80s. Tea Leoni's net worth has increased over time, as her career has spanned for over 20 years in both television and film.

The actress' career began in 1988, when the actress started being cast in different projects, like a minor role in the now-classic film Working Girl and, most importantly, she was also cast in Angels 88 - an update of the hit 70s television show Charlie's Angels; unfortunately, the show never aired due to problems in its production stage. However, Tea Leoni's net worth grew then as she was later cast in the 1992 film A League of Their Own, which starred Tom Hanks and Geena Davis and also featured Rosie O'Donnell and Madonna in smaller roles.

Tea Leoni's net worth continued to grow throughout the 90s and early 2000s, as she starred in a number of television shows and films. Most notably, she was the lead in the newsroom comedy The Naked Truth, which aired first on ABC (from 1995 to 1996) and later on NBC (from 1996 to 1998); afterwards, she went on to star in films like Jurassic Park III, Woody Allen's Hollywood Ending, Jim Carrey's Fun With Dick and Jane and Adam Sandler's film Spanglish.

Today, Tea Leoni's net worth sits comfortably between $14.7 and $15 million, numbers that are sure to change as the actress begins her new show with CBS, in which she will play Elizabeth Faulkner McCord, a Secretary of State - in the wave of hit political shows like Netflix's House of Cards or HBO's Veep.
