Early in Mayim Bialik’s career, she played Bette Midler’s character as a child in the 1989 movie “Beaches.” Depending on what decade you grew up in, you might know her best from the 90s show “Blossom”. Or you might know her as Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler on “The Big Bang Theory”, which is a comedy. She got four Emmy nominations for that show and made lots of money from it.
On August 11, I read that the actress Mayim Bialik became one of two new hosts for the game show Jeopardy and will take on hosting all primetime shows including a college championship tournament.
Aside from the shows that made her career, Bialik has also been in many other movies and TV shows. She was in “The Facts of Life” and “Webster,” to name a few. She also appeared in Michael Jackson’s 1989 song “Liberian Girl.”
Mayim Bialik Net Worth: $25 Million
The role you liked most was The Big Bang Theory. Early on, she earned about $200,000 per episode – that’s $4 million per season. But in 2017, the five stars of the show agreed to take a pay cut so that they would both receive more money. They each got $450,000 per episode which is around 10 million dollars for two seasons. That adds up to 25 million dollars!
