starring in major films including Hustlers, Lightyear, and Nope;
hosting Password with Jimmy Fallon (it's brand new, check it out on NBC);
gifting society the phrase "sorry to this man;"
and that is just the tip of the success iceberg for her!
So yeah, it's an understatement to say that Keke Palmer is super successful. And double yeah, she's made a ton of money throughout her career. How much exactly? Time to dive in, weeeee.
What's Keke Palmer's Total Net Worth, You Ask?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, she has $7.5 million in the bank. So much money! Unfortunately for those of us who want details, Keke's per-project rate hasn't been divulged...though there are unverified reports she made as much as $20,000 per episode for True Jackson, VP—and keep in mind she was just a teen at the time!
Meanwhile, we can assume that Keke made a pretty good salary for Good Morning America's Strahan, Sara & Keke (which is sadly no longer airing). Specifics are kept hush-hush, but the salaries of anchors on GMA can be anywhere from half a million dollars per year to tens of millions.
On top of all this, Keke adds to her net worth with investments—she recently dropped $1.4 million on a property in Studio City.
She Has an Amazing Work Ethic
Just gonna drop this quote Keke gave to Forbes, because there's no way it won't inspire you in your own job.
“It’s not easy to always assert yourself in the workplace. The confidence in doing that was encouraged by my mother. We all want to stand out, and our work, we all want to be acknowledged, we all want our voices to be heard. And that journey for all of us, whether it is entertainment or whether it's working in a corporate office, it always has its struggles, because you're dealing with misogyny, you're dealing with competing with your peers . . . there are a bunch of people in this office that all want to be noticed. And we’re all trying to figure it out... I think the number one thing is staying true to yourself. It sounds so basic, but it really is true. Staying true to yourself, and being consistent. It all lies in consistency because whatever they might not be looking at now, if that’s you, when they come looking for that, they're going to know where to find it.”
What Did Keke Make for Nope?
Neither Forbes, Variety, nor The Hollywood Reporter (aka the typical places movie salaries get revealed) have reported on Keke's Nope salary, but there are tabloid claims that she made about $700,000 for the film. Take that with a grain of salt, but hopefully it's around that amount because she deserves every penny.
She Started Her Own Production Company *and* Label
On top of a super impressive film TV and music career, Keke launched her own production company (Watch Out for Keke Productions) and her own record label (Big Bosses Entertainment).
As she told Forbes in 2018 when asked about age never being a limit, "I don’t think I ever really looked at it as a career. I think all my actions have been motivated simply by my love [for entertaining] and what I could offer, or what I felt was needed, what would be fun for me to watch. That’s what drove me."
Expect Keke's net worth to have a huge bump once this year's earnings are taken into account, especially since Nope and Password are both pretty buzzy!
