Have a Peek at Aubrey Plaza's Massive Net Worth
That being said, it seems like a good time to deep dive into Aubrey Plaza's net worth and see how much she's raked in over the years.
After starring as Leslie Knope's uninterested intern on Parks and Rec, Aubrey has remained a constant on our screens. Her salary for the NBC sitcom isn't publicly known, but we can assume she made a preeetty solid salary, as lead actor Amy Poehler reportedly made $250,000 per episode by the end of the show's run.
Her other TV projects likely weren't quite as lucrative. Aubrey had a role on HBO's Emmy-winning hit series, The White Lotus, during its second season, and according to one of the show's producers, David Bernad, everyone on the cast receives the same salary of $40,000 per episode. 'They get paid the same, and we do alphabetical billing, so you're getting people who want to do the project for the right reasons, not to quote 'The Bachelor,'' he told The Hollywood Reporter in April 2025.
Aside from recurring roles and voiceover work on shows like The Legend of Korra and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Aubrey has also had the honor of hosting Saturday Night Live in 2023. While the exact amount hosts make hasn't been revealed, Justin Timberlake revealed he made $5,000 for his third time hosting the variety show during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Likewise, her salary for the Marvel Cinematic Universe series, Agatha All Along, is unclear, but the show reportedly had the lowest budget of any Disney Plus MCU series, according to Forbes.
Honestly, Aubrey's filmography is pretty iconic. She's starred in a range of indie flicks, like The To Do List, Ingrid Goes West, and My Old Ass, but has also been in movies backed by major studios like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Child's Play, and Happiest Season.
Her most recent movies are Ethan Coen's Honey Don't! alongside Chris Evans and Margaret Qualley, and Animal Friends with Addison Rae, Dan Levy, and Ryan Reynolds.
According to Variety, she's also set to produce and star in The Heidi Fleiss Story, which will definitely put more $$$ in her pockets.
Yep. When she's not on screen, Aubrey is hard at work behind the scenes with her company, Evil Hag Productions. (Legendary name, if you ask us). She's produced projects like Emily the Criminal, FX's Little Demon, indie film The Accompanist, and Prime Video's animated series, Kevin.
It also looks like Evil Hag has produced children's books, from The Christmas Witch to Luna and the Witch.
Another side hustle celebs love is a good brand deal. Whether they post #sponcon on Instagram or cut an ambassadorship deal with a fashion house or beauty brand, it's a guaranteed way to rake in the big bucks.
In Aubrey's case, she's worked with brands like Cointreau Tequila and Got Milk? over the years, and in 2024, she became a brand ambassador for Loewe. It's unclear how much money she's made from the deal, but with the fashion house's popularity in recent years, it's likely in the six-figure range.
Oh, and let's not forget her Super Bowl ad with Bad Bunny for Ritz crackers. Ads that run during the big game are known to generate buzz and lots of bucks, so either way, she's winning.
One thing about all this money? It could get you a really nice mansion. After her stint on The White Lotus in 2022, Aubrey and her late husband, Jeff Baena, bought a $4.7 million Spanish-style home in the Hollywood Hills. According to Elite Agent, the home was built in the 1920s and includes four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and nearly 4,000 square feet of living space.
Glad you asked! From her range of acting roles, production credits, and brand deals, Aubrey Plaza's net worth is $8 million in 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth. So, yeah, her life is rich in laughter and money.

Why the internet is still obsessed with Octavia E. Butler, years after her death
For pioneering science fiction novelist Octavia E. Butler, writing was more than a profession. It was a form of survival, resistance and reflection. In 'Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler,' author and college professor Susana M. Morris shares the quiet yet radical story of Butler's life, revealing how the worlds she imagined were shaped by the one that often shut her out. Going from a shy Black girl, born in 1947 and raised under Jim Crow, to a literary icon, Butler's path to success was not linear. She was told not to dream but to get a 'real' job. As she juggled temp jobs, financial anxiety and a society that resisted making room for her, Butler wrote genre-defining literature that has been adapted for TV and film in recent years, and has continued to go viral nearly two decades after her death in 2006 at 58. 'Positive Obsession,' named for a 1989 essay by Butler, pulls from journals, interviews and personal letters in Butler's public archives to illuminate the forces that shaped her, revealing an ambitious and meticulous writer. For most of her career, Butler woke up before dawn to write for hours ahead of what she once called 'lots of horrible little jobs.' As she toiled in factories and warehouses, washing dishes, inspecting potato chips and making telemarketing calls, Butler conjured characters from her everyday encounters. Morris told NBC that in sharing Butler's story now, 19 years after her death, she hopes to inspire artists who don't think they can afford to create to find the time. 'In this economic system that we're currently in, we are so crunched down trying to buy eggs or pay the rent,' Morris said 'sometimes we don't even feel like we can access art for art's sake. But through all the trials and tribulations, she was accessing it.' Butler's journals show how writing was her way of pushing back against racism, patriarchy and other norms that frustrated her and made her feel overlooked as a creative person and a public intellectual. She wrote because 'she had to,' Morris writes. She put pen to paper to make sense of the world and speak back to it. Beyond writing novels, Butler eventually became known for her direct and evocative engagement with readers, whom she pushed to think deeply about the world around them. She analyzed real-world dynamics and extrapolated them into prescient and cautionary fiction. She wrote stories that seem to have become only more popular as time has passed. Her novel 'Kindred' was reimagined into a TV series in 2022, and authors John Jennings and Damian Duffy won a Hugo Award in 2021 for their graphic novel reimagining of her book 'Parable of the Sower.' On social media, the '#OctaviaKnew' trend captures the ominous ways her words resonate in the present on issues like climate change, inequality and politics. Her ability, decades ago, to conjure how we live now gives Morris' students a feeling of connection to Butler's work today. In 'Parable of the Talents,' published in 1998 and set in the 2020s, Butler introduces a conservative presidential candidate who urges voters to join him in a project to 'make America great again.' The words on the page reverberated through Morris' classroom as she taught the book during Trump's first presidency. It's why many readers think Butler's work was nearly prophetic. 'Psychic? Maybe not,' Morris says. 'Prescient? Absolutely.' Morris uses the 1987 short story 'The Evening and the Morning and the Night' — about a community grappling with a fictional genetic disorder — to talk to students about the marginalization of people with disabilities. Butler's 1984 short story 'Bloodchild' pushes readers to rethink gender, reproduction and family. 'We're living in a moment that demonizes transness,' Morris said. 'But in 'Bloodchild,' men carry the babies. It complicates our idea of what bodies are supposed to do.' Butler's fiction never floated away from reality. It confronted it. And it continues to make readers question what they thought they understood. Though often shelved as science fiction, Morris says Butler's work transcends the label, and she instead classifies it as 'speculative fiction.' Morris' immersive portrait can at times feel like reading Butler's journal or listening to the innermost thoughts of a quiet and sometimes lonely person. 'She lived a life of the mind,' Morris said. Out of that life came work shaped by discipline, imagination and a kind of beautiful obsession — one that Morris hopes others might mirror in their own lives. 'I hope that in this world that is often devoid of beauty,' Morris said, 'that other folks can see her example and find the beauty in their own kind of practice.'

Planet Hollywood welcomes nineties A-list investor to new venue
He said 'I'll be back' — and meant it. Arnold Schwarzenegger has stayed true to his 'Terminator' mantra — and has already hit Midtown's new Planet Hollywood, a venture he invested in when it launched in the early nineties. 'Arnold the Governator was in New York, just around the time that we opened earlier this year because he was filming a Santa Claus movie and he came to the opening. Then he threw his wrap party for the movie there and started hanging out again,' Planet Hollywood's CEO and founder, Robert Earl, told The Post. Advertisement The world-renowned eatery, which reopened at 136 West 42nd Street in Midtown in February, originally launched in 1991 on West 57th Street. Back then, it had the backing of Hollywood elite, namely Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Now, Earl also finds it surreal to be welcoming his former investors' offspring, who are now grown up and making their own way in the industry — like Patrick, the son of Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. 4 Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son Patrick have already visited the new Planet Hollywood in Midtown. Bruce Glikas Advertisement 'Patrick, who used to just be a little young man coming with his family. Now he came by himself. And he's an amazing young man. Celebrity doesn't get to him. Like, I tried to force him to take a car from me to get back to his hotel, and he insisted he was going on the subway by himself,' Earl gushed of Patrick, who starred in Season 3 of 'The White Lotus' this February. The British restaurateur has also been keeping up with the children of Willis and Moore. 'I've even been chatting with Tallulah Willis. We asked her if she wants to have a look at doing a few things with us. She's an artist now and has got some exhibits and maybe we'll do them inside the New York restaurant,' he said. 4 The world-renowned eatery originally launched on West 57th Street, with the backing of Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Courtesy Planet Hollywood Advertisement He also plans to contact Stallone's daughters — Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet. 'They're lovely. But they've been busy filming their reality show. But I do plan on hitting them up,' he said. Planet Hollywood is now going 'Back to the Future' with new lunch specials — serving the same items that were on its original nineties menu and at the same price point. 4 Planet Hollywood in Midtown is now serving items — like the Hollywood club and margherita pasta — from their 1991 menu at their original prices. Planet Hollywood Advertisement 'I think that there is a trend. I've seen a few other people now doing this. And I think that it brings you through the door,' Earl said of the retro pricing. 'And of course, it's fascinating for people to say, 'Just a minute, my entree is under $10. You mean the turkey burger with the fries and everything else is only $7.95?' Which is unheard of in Manhattan, in a sit-down restaurant that cost $20 million to build.' 4 Founder and CEO Robert Earl reopened Planet Hollywood, which closed its Times Square location during COVID, at 136 West 42nd Street in February. Michael Nagle The vintage menu — which includes items like margherita pasta for $9.95 and a Hollywood club for $8.95 — will last until October 22nd, when the restaurant celebrates its 34th anniversary. There's also a vodka-rum-gin cocktail called 'Hasta La Vista Baby' for $9.91, paying homage to Schwarzenegger's famous line from 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day.'

The Fortune Hotel's Fred and Min have stolen the show: here's everything you need to know about the couple
The Fortune Hotel season 2 has returned to ITVX with a bang and we are lapping it up. The gameshow, which fans have likened to The Traitors and The White Lotus, jets contestants off to the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada (sign us up!). 10 pairs checked into the glamorous Fortune Hotel for a rollercoaster of challenges, alliances and poker faces. Each couple acquired a briefcase, with one containing the mighty prize of £250,000 and another with a not-so-fortunate 'early checkout' card, signaling elimination. From business partners to mother-and-son duos, one partnership has come out on top… but not from their own doing. Fred and Min were completely puzzled by the first race to complete a crossword and find a clue… leaving them in last place. But in some strange twist of fortune, they sneakily ended up with the £250,000 briefcase that evening! But what do we know about Fred and Min? The retired life partners are 60 and 59-years-old. They live together in Blackpool, Lancashire. They are currently the only retired contestants, as ex-police officer John was knocked out of the competition when he received the early checkout case in episode 2. Their game plan? 'Bluff them, blag them and fake it til you make it! It was our last hurrah!" Fred said. Well, their plan is certainly working so far… When asked by Media Mole how they would spend the prize money, they weren't in agreement. Fred said, 'Wisely!', while Min said, 'Unwisely! We need a new van, so it would go on that.'
