What is Jenna Ortega’s soaring net worth after ‘Wednesday’ success and blockbuster roles

Jenna Ortega, star of Netflix’s global smash Wednesday, has seen her financial fortunes skyrocket—joining the ranks of Hollywood’s youngest multi-millionaires at just 22 years old.

While exact salary figures for Ortega’s breakout role as Wednesday Addams on Netflix remain under wraps, industry comparisons paint a lucrative picture. Netflix has historically paid rising stars significant sums: Deadline reports that Stranger Things cast members earned around $30,000 per episode for their first two seasons, but their paychecks soared to $250,000 per episode by Season 3 after the show became a sensation. Given Ortega’s established career prior to Wednesday, it’s reasonable and widely speculated that her per-episode earnings substantially outpaced those early figures and that she likely received a major raise following the unprecedented popularity of the series.

‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’

Ortega’s ascent isn’t limited to streaming. In Tim Burton’s anticipated sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, filming with a reported $100 million budget, Ortega landed a highly publicized role as Astrid Deetz. Industry sources and rumors have placed her paycheck for the film at $750,000—underscoring her rapid value growth in Hollywood’s eyes.

Social media earnings

Ortega’s social power exploded alongside her acting profile. After Wednesday’s first season premiere, her Instagram following shot up by 10 million in just ten days—from 9.39 million to roughly 20 million.

Currently, she boasts nearly 40 million followers—a rapid climb that drives serious sponsorship offers. Data suggests Ortega can fetch upwards of $78,000 per sponsored post, with that amount rising as her audience continues to grow. Partnership deals with powerhouse brands like Adidas, Christian Dior, and Neutrogena offer further evidence of her marketability.
Despite her online fame, Ortega told The Face in November 2022 that she treats her social media presence as a business tool rather than a personal outlet:

“I have to look at my social media as a business platform because I think it’s unhealthy for everyone involved... It’s just work! It’s just work posts.”

What is her net worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ortega’s financial status has surged to $5 million—a $2 million jump since 2022. This figure combines her TV and film earnings, substantial sponsorship income, and brand deals. With continuous roles in hit projects—from the Scream film franchise to music videos for top artists such as Sabrina Carpenter—industry observers expect Ortega’s star (and fortune) to keep rising.
