Have a Peek at Aubrey Plaza's Massive Net Worth
Aubrey Plaza's deadpan humor first graced our screens thanks to her breakout role as April Ludgate on Parks and Recreation in 2009—because she's been booked and busy ever since, she's now a certified millionaire. The former Cosmo cover girl has made a ton of cash over the years, thanks to a range of indie films and mainstream projects like The To Do List, The White Lotus, and Agatha All Along. Now, she's starring alongside Margaret Qualley and Chris Evans in her newest flick, Honey Don't!, which hits theaters on August 22.
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.
