Jane Lynch's estimated net worth is $10 million. The "Glee" star is officially divorced to her ex-wife, Dr. Lara Embry Monday. Will this affect her current net worth?
Much known for her major role in the Fox musical comedy series "Glee" as the fierce Sue Sylvester, Lynch's estimated net worth is $10 million. The American comedienne earned her net worth from her "Glee" role with an annual salary of $80 thousand per episode.
Lynch received both an Emmy and Golden Globe Award for the Fox musical show and also appeared in many comedy movies including "Best in Show", "The 40-Year Old Virgin" and "Role Models".
Born in Dolton, Illinois on July 14, 1969, Lynch received her bachelor degree in theatre at Illinois State University and earned her MFA in Theater from Cornell University. For fifteen long years, she acted in the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago. She also appeared in several hit TV series and shows like "Judging Amy", "7th Heaven", "Two and a Half Men" and "Gilmore Girls" to name a few.
Lynch, 54, is also a writer who wrote and starred in the award-winning play "Oh Sister, My Sister". The play kicked off the Lesbians in Theater program at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center in 2004.
On Memorial Day of 2010, Lynch married Embry. After three years of marriage, Lynch filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce is now officially approved on Monday by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ralph C. Hofer.
The divorce might take a slight toll in Lynch's net worth of $10 million as the agreement calls for Embry to receive half of her royalties from entertainment projects which includes several seasons of the TV series "Glee".
Lynch has to pay her ex-wife $1.2 million in a property settlement in a two-year period.
Lynch previously stressed that her divorce was "not a horrible thing". "It's two people who just decided it's better to go apart than stay together," she added.
