What is Shannen Doherty net worth?

With too many controversies in tow, Celebrity Net Worth itself confirms the star’s net worth touching $5 million. Over the years, she has starred in a host of super-successful television and film productions and has found continued success in her works. Though there were some financial glitches in her journey to stardom (we will talk of the same later in the article) – she has managed to hold her ground quite strongly.

For the record, back in 2021, she won a $6.3 million lawsuit against a property dispute that further propelled her net worth. In fact, an old article categorically stated that – when she was at the peak of her career, her professional value was touted to be $10 million.

To avoid further controversies, let’s rediscover the steps she took to reach the top of the success ladder and unveil her monetary achievements in the process –

How did she garner the moolah?

She was one of the topmost stars of her time before she took a break after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Here’s detailing her sources of income –

From her stint on TV

One of the highest-paid and most noted TV stars of the 90s, Doherty kickstarted her journey in the entertainment world as a child artist in Father Murphy and Voyagers. Her breakthrough role that helped establish her career as a formidable actress of those times was – Little House On The Prairie as Jenny Wilder.

However, the real surge in the numbers associated with Shannen Doherty net worth came when she took over the role of Brenda Walsh in the famous series – Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-1994). Since then, she has starred in another of the biggest hits of the time, Charmed (for which she was reportedly paid $75,000 per episode) and followed it up with a host of other roles. Her presence to honour the memory of her ex-co-star Luke Perry on an episodic on Riverdale was also the talking point.

She has hosted many a successful show

Doherty has been a part of many reality shows as a host, most of which have been touted as ‘widely watched.’ Though the financial specifics in terms of her payments were not revealed to the public, the huge surge in the TRPs of the shows, as one may note, directly affected her monetary prospects (given that one of them was produced by her production house).

The noted shows are – Scare Tactics, Dancing With The Stars, Off The Map With Shannen and Holly, Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty, and Shannen Says.

Her career in films

A significant amount of Shannen Doherty net worth was garnered from her roles in films. She started her career early as a child actor, and it was her constant success on television that surged her popularity, making her the face of multiple hit films. For those who are uninformed of her film career, she has starred in a list of hits that include – Heathers, Another Day, Striking Poses, Mallrats, and her most recent venture Fortress co-starring Bruce Willis.

How much did she make from endorsements?

Though the exact figures of the same or the concerned brands have not been released by her financial advisors, Doherty was the face of many a brand during her heydays!

She has a production company

Apart from her extensive performances in television shows and films, she has also invested in her production house – Flower Films, which has yielded huge profits from the successes of the Charlie’s Angels franchise and Never Been Kissed. Started in collaboration with Nancy Juvonen, she has been actively participating in the content and presentation domains of her production house.

Her legal win against State Farm

This was one of the latest financial controversies that she was involved in, albeit, this time, she was on the winning side. There was a massive controversy surrounding the insurance payments for her Malibu home. The concerned company, State Farms failed to pay the policy benefits for Doherty’s home. The actress took the legal route and won the $6.3 million lawsuit that added to the already impressive Shannen Doherty net worth.

Though this addition did surge the numbers of her net monetary value, the specific rise percentage has not been shared by her financial advisors.

How much did she earn from Beverly Hills?

One of her most successful outings was her superhit American sitcom – Beverly Hills, 90210. While playing the character of Brenda Walsh, she not earned praise for her acting credentials but also made a massive remuneration. The official sources confirm that she earned $17,500 per episode for her stint in the sitcom, and that propelled the value of Shannen Doherty net worth to a massive $10 million during the 90s.

Later when she was cast in the reboot of Beverly Hills in 2008, she was supposedly paid $50,000 per episode. Though she was noted to be one of the highest-paid television actors in her prime, with more money coming in from a variety of ventures, it was Beverly Hills, 90210 – that helped her reach the heights of success, both monetarily and in terms of reputation.

However, with praises came brickbats as well. She was involved in a host of financial controversies that did dip her bank balance to a certain extent.

Her financial controversies

With good fortune comes controversies as well! At a time when Doherty was one of the highest-paid stars on television, due to her frivolous spending habits, she had racked up a massive $32,000 ‘debt’ for her ‘binge shopping.’ Apart from that, she gained a ‘bad’ reputation for her habitual lateness to the sets, constant fights with her co-stars, and disturbing attitude towards journalists.

In fact, there were constant complaints from the sets and documented news about how she had tried hitting one of the journos when they were following her.

All this negative news did take a toll on her career and jolted the metrics of Shannen Doherty net worth. However, in a press conference, the actress bounced back and later stated that she was one of the ‘highest tax-payers and that most of her income was spent on paying her managers, agents, and legal advisors.
