Melissa McCarthy Net Worth: ‘Mike & Molly’ Star Speaks About Plus-Size ‘Segregation’ With 4 Movies Out In 2016!

Over the past few years, arguably since her hilarious Oscar-nominated role in "Bridesmaids," Melissa McCarthy's net worth has kept growing as she becomes one of the most iconic women in comedy, but it doesn't mean she hasn't faced issues - particularly when it comes to her weight, for which she's heavily criticized.

As can be seen through Melissa McCarthy's net worth, she's currently one of the biggest female names in comedy alongside giants like Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman and newcomer Amy Schumer - and she's been hilarious all the way back from her time in "Gilmore Girls," having a knack for comedy even then.

The actress' weight, along with that of co-star Billy Gardell, is one of the central plots of her popular television show "Mike & Molly," but, although she doesn't mind making fun of her weight as Melissa McCarthy's net worth proves she's still one of the most sought-after comedians working right now, she's not afraid to speak out when something's not right.

USA Today reports that, in spite of the fairly high Melissa McCarthy net worth, the actress still has as many problems finding plus-size clothing as any other woman does, and she's recently complained that malls "segregate" women past size 12.

"I feel like there's a big thing missing where you can't dress to your mood above a certain number.," the actress said. "(Malls) segregate plus-size. It's an odd thing that you can't go shopping with your friends because your store is upstairs hidden by the tire section. 'We'll put you gals over there because we don't want to see you and you probably don't want to be seen.'"

To fight this from her own turf, the actress is about to launch her own clothing line this fall, dedicated to all sizes - a project that will certainly boost Melissa McCarthy's net worth!

From her work in television and film (she's set to co-star in the all-female "Ghostbusters" reboot next year), Celebrity Net Worth reports that Melissa McCarthy's net worth is currently $20 million!
