Kaley Cuoco Net Worth: While Divorce And Pregnancy Rumors Surround The Big Bang Theory Star, How Much Money Is Penny Really Making?

The Big Bang Theory's blonde star Kaley Cuoco's net worth can potentially increase soon after locking a 3 year contract with the hit show's producing team that will make her and co-stars Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki earn 1 million dollars per episode.

Kaley Cuoco's net worth is currently set at a steady $30 million, but as Deadline reports that she secured a new contract last month with CBS to earn a million dollars per episode, things might vary. With this contract, the three core cast members of the hit geek themed show would be the top earners of television, in both cable and national channels.

This year, Kaley Cuoco's net worth had made news as Forbes magazine named her the third top female earner in television behind Modern Family's Sofia Vergara and Law and Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay; this is a ranking she is sure to overcome in next year's list. In the article, it is also noted the pay gap between male television performers and female ones: the female top 10 earned a combined $140 million, while their male counterparts made around $214 million.

As it is, Kaley Cuoco has had a fairly good year, starting it as a newlywed as she was married to professional tennis player Ryan Sweeting on December 31 2013, making her begin 2014 as a new wife. She changed her name legally to Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting later on, appearing with credited with new name on The Big Bang Theory's last season.

However, it was not all good news: the actress who portrays Penny in the hit CBS show was one of the victims of the photo and video leak last month, where dozens of celebrities' personal nude pictures came to light online.

In any case, Kaley Cuoco's net worth stands solid right now at $30 million dollars - a sum that will undoubtedly increase with her new contract and upcoming film projects.
