Cynthia Erivo is not a new face in the entertainment world. Although Bad part 1 is undoubtedly Erivo’s biggest role yet when it comes to both budget and fan attention. She’s been a fixture in Hollywood for some time now, from Broadway to the big screen.

Erivo was born in London and trained at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art before starting her versatile career. Her breakout role came when she played Celie in the revival of The color purple on Broadway from 2015 to 2017. That performance earned her a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album and a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Musical Performance. That’s a lot of accolades!

She then moved on to the big screen, where she appeared in films Widows And Bad times at El Royale. But it was her role as Harriet Tubman in the 2019 biopic Harriet which truly took Erivo from a talented musical theater actress to a star. That performance earned her two separate Academy Award nominations: one for Best Actress and one for Best Original Song (Get up).

Considering how many major roles she’s played, and the fact that she won’t just be a main character Bad part 1but also inside Bad part 2what is Cynthia Erivo’s net worth? How much did she earn? Bad?

Cynthia Erivo’s net worth and how much she earned Bad

Cynthia Erivo’s net worth is reportedly around $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That’s a decent number, although of course it pales in comparison to the $230 million she makes Bad co-star Ariana Grande is reportedly worth it. Erivo’s net worth comes from her acting work, which includes the films mentioned above and also her turn as Aretha Franklin in the television series Genius and lending her voice to The Boss Baby: Back in Business.

If it feels like taking into account her star power and the roles she’s played, Erivo’s net worth should be higher, that’s because Broadway isn’t really as high-paying a job as some people might think, despite the fact that Erivo is the starred in a very popular, Tony-winning production. But Erivo is expected to make a significant amount of money for Wicked, even if it again pales in comparison to what co-star Ariana Grande is paid.

Salaries for Wicked have not been confirmed, but reports indicate that Erivo earned $1 million for the role of Elphaba. That makes her far from the highest-paid member of the cast, with Ariana Grande reportedly earning $15 million for the film, and Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum each earning $2 million for playing Madame Morrible and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, respectively .

Still, Wicked will certainly increase Erivo’s star power even more, so the next time we see her she’ll likely bring in even bigger numbers for her performance.
