She should be ashamed of herself instead of looking all smug and beautiful and (newly, really) rich.
Actually Harry, 6th in line to the throne doesn't get very much. Meghan probably actually has more money than he does.
I read this a few years ago about Will & Kate. Right now, being 2nd in line, Will doesn't get that much salary yearly for being Duke of Cambridge. I read they Kate & Will each only get several hundred pounds a year. A lot of Kate's evening gowns are being paid for by
Charles. That's also one of the reasons Kate re-wears a lot of outfits. Not only is she trying to present a more frugal image, they really don't get enough to be spending lavishly all the time.
As for Meghan, someone said they Googled and she is estimated to be worth $5 million. I think that is rather high. I don't doubt the poster Googled correctly and that was what was posted. But, i wonder where that source gets their estimate from? Meghan works on a cable TV show, on a B rated cable network owned by NBC. I watched Suits. I used to love Suits. The writing was great the first few years. But, I highly doubt that NBC had thrown $5 million at the whole show.
The show is only 16 episodes per year. And it films in Toronto instead of NYC, where the show is "based" as NBC wouldn't pay for it to be shot in NYC, until some location shots in the 2-part finale this year when they realized everyone would be watching because of Meghan.
I just Googled probably the same source and they said the lead star on the show, Gabriel Macht, is worth $8 million, and
laughing
he's been one of the producers on the show for every episode.
Sarah Rafferty, another actress on the show and probably at the same starring level for contracts, reportedly makes $300,000 a year for her role on Suits. Times 7 years, that a little over $2 million total. Add in, say, half a million per year for cable residuals. (I read it's not a lot for cable. That's why they can re-air shows to death. Plus it only re-airs on the USA Network.) Then take out taxes & agent fees, etc., which brings it down to over $1 million total.
I know Meghan also had a blog and was big on social media. But did that bring in $3 million more? I doubt that. But, I don't know. I don't have a blog.
What Meghan has done is now make reruns of Suits go on till she's old & grey and no longer looks like "Rachel." There will be royal watcher who will always tune into the reruns. The rest of the cast have her to thank for those upcoming residuals.
