With a loyal fanbase and a fifth season waiting in the wings, it’s no secret that Riverdale has been one of the most successful new teen dramas we’ve been rewatching recently. And if there’s anyone who could tell you how it feels to be so young (and have this much fun) and be successful, it’s the cast. In the few years since Riverdale first graced our screens back in January 2017, the series’ core cast, KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, Casey Cott and Vanessa Morgan have all gone on to beef up their resumes with other TV shows, films and even off-screen ventures.
But how much are these young talents actually putting in the bank? If you’ve ever wondered how much the Riverdale cast is paid and what their net worth is, we’ve done the digging for you. Keep reading for a breakdown of what every Riverdale cast member makes per episode and their overall net worth.
Lili Reinhart
In 2018, it was reported by Variety that Lili Reinhart makes $40,000 per episode of Riverdale. Reinhart plays Betty Cooper, and she’s actually previously addressed how much she earns.
When a claim was going around that she makes $300,000 per episode, Reinhart took to her Instagram stories to shut the rumour down. Her net worth probably sits at around $1.3 million, according to a report by StyleCaster—Reinhart previously denied a report that claimed her net worth was $2 million. She’s starring in the upcoming YA film Chemical Hearts soon.
Cole Sprouse
According to the same report, Sprouse earns $40,000 per episode for filming Riverdale.
However, Sprouse has been in the entertainment industry for most of his life so he’s had a bit of time to build up his bank account. Who didn’t watch the Disney channel classic The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody after all? Because of this and his other acting work, his estimated net worth sits at $8 million. Sprouse is also a freelance photographer and has shot for a bunch of publications.
KJ Apa
Like the other series leads, KJ Apa reportedly makes $40,000 per episode of Riverdale.
In terms of his net worth, multiple reports estimate that KJ’s net worth is around $3 million. Like Reinhart, he’ll be starring in a new film called Songbird very soon.
Camila Mendes
Camila Mendes also commands $40,000 per Riverdale episode, according to Variety. Her net worth is an estimated $3 million, thanks to other acting projects and appearances in ad campaigns.
Madelaine Petsch
While we don’t know for sure how much Madelaine Petsch earns per Riverdale episode, her net worth reportedly sits around $1 million. As well as being a spokesperson for a skincare brand, Petsch also has her own YouTube channel which is probably adding to her earnings.
Casey Cott
Again, while we don’t know exactly what Casey makes per episode, StyleCaster also reported his net worth and it was estimated close to $500,000.
Vanessa Morgan
It’s not known exactly how much the mom-to-be is paid per episode but Vanessa Morgan made headlines earlier this year when in May 2020, she took to Twitter and said that she is “the only black series regular but also paid the least.” It spared an ongoing discussion about racism and stereotyping of Black characters on the show.
According to reports from StyleCaster, the actress’ net worth sits at an estimated $1 million.
