There is no wonder Zendaya has emerged as one of the breakout stars in Hollywood thanks to her roles in Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man films and HBO’s Euphoria. With a whopping salary for both her movie and television projects, the actress has climbed the list of the highest-earning female celebrities.
Meanwhile, Tom Holland, who led the Spider-Man franchise, reportedly earned $3 million in Avengers: Endgame. This pay check seems very little compared to the actress’ reported compensation of $10 million for her appearance in the upcoming film Challengers and her $1 Million per episode for Euphoria.
Spider-Man Star Zendaya Knows Her Worth
Fans would remember that viral TikTok video of Zendaya reacting to her own net worth. At the time of the video’s creation, the listed figure was $1.5 million. The nine-second video said, “Remember when Zendaya Googled her own net worth,” and the Google search found one website revealing her net worth at $1.5 million.
Zendaya immediately refuted it and quipped, “Girl, I’m worth more than that. I can tell you that.” The actress clearly knows her baseline even though she cannot exactly say the amount.
Celebrity Net Worth posted a recent estimate of Zendaya’s net worth revealing she has a whopping $22 million as of 2023. That is significantly higher than what the TikTok video claimed.
The Zapped actress earned $300,000 for her role as Chani in Dune: Part One and $2 million for reprising her role as M.J. in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Add in her role in HBO’s Euphoria on top of being an executive producer for Season 2, and that already projects a very high salary. Winning an Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series definitely helped her negotiate the pay in Euphoria.
Zendaya On Being Financially Wise And Capable
Despite her fame and fortune, Zendaya finds it difficult to spend money on herself. The actress loves a good treat once in a while, but she likes being financially wise. She told Vogue:
“My mother’s a saver, and so I try to keep that in mind. Then my dad’s like, ‘You know, you can’t spend it when you’re dead,’ kind of thing. I’m somewhere in between.”
Zendaya’s hard work and dedication to her craft proved that she values every cent she earns, and she certainly knows that tomorrow is not guaranteed, so it is always best to be ready. She further added:
“The hope is to have a career where you can be in a position, financially, to just do things you want to do because you enjoy the work and not have to worry about the other things. But I’m always like, ‘I will always need to work.’ Because if I don’t work then everything can be gone tomorrow.”
There is no doubt that Zendaya will continue to reach new heights with the level of success she currently has, and along with that, her pay check will keep getting bigger and higher!
