Kaley Cuoco

Net Worth: $100 Million

TV Show: Big Bang Theory

Character: Penny

As one of the highest-paid celebrities in Hollywood, we are never surprised that Kaley Cuoco manages to maintain her A-list status. Long before we loved her character in the Big Bang Theory, she already graced the small screen through her 7th Heaven and Growing Up Brady appearances. Her acting skills paved the way for her most remarkable character, Penny. In contrast to her peers in the show, Penny is neither knowledgeable nor tech-savvy, though she has acquired a degree of cleverness through her excellent social skills. She is the love interest of Leonard and had a brief relationship with him.

The popularity of her character led to a series of endorsements and awards. Reports say that the actress used to make $1 million per episode. With over 20 years in the acting scene, we can tell that her hard work certainly paid off.
