Even though most people will never meet their favorite celebrities, a lot of us are very interested in their lives. For example, moviegoers are so fascinated by the amount of money stars make that there are articles about the highest-paid actors in Hollywood every year. When it comes to the MCU's WandaVision’s Kathryn Hahn, however, not that many people know that her net worth is estimated to be $2 million.
When you compare the amount of money that some actors have to their peers, Hollywood can often feel like a pretty arbitrary place. After all, it seems weird that some actors who don’t act that much are filthy rich while others who seem to always be on set have considerably less. However, many fans of Kathryn Hahn’s work will likely be happy to know that the actor has done quite well for herself.
Hollywood’s Not-So-Secret Weapon
When upcoming movies and TV shows get announced, the headlines tend to be dominated by the massive stars that have agreed to be a part of them. When you factor in that those stars get paid the most money for those projects and people often line up to see their work, that makes perfect sense. However, when it comes to projects that Kathryn Hahn appears in, any articles that ignore her inclusion in a project are missing the point.
If you were to put a picture of Kathryn Hahn in front of most people, they wouldn’t be able to identify her by name. In fact, a lot of people would even struggle to list off the movies and shows they have seen her in. However, in all likelihood, a lot of those people would still smile when they see an image of Hahn as she has been excellent in just about every project she has appeared in.
Early on in Kathryn Hahn’s career, showrunners and movie producers figured out that if they hired her to play any role in their project, she would make the most of it. In fact, she is so good at making small roles important that a 2020 New York Times article about her was titled “Comfort Viewing: Why I Love Anything With Kathryn Hahn”.
After several years of blowing people away in small roles, recently Kathryn Hahn has finally started to land lead and recurring roles in major projects. For example, Hahn was one of the main stars of 2016’s Bad Moms. Thankfully for fans of Hahn’s work, that movie was a big enough hit to warrant a sequel, 2017’s A Bad Moms Christmas.
Kathryn’s Biggest Project Yet
During Kathryn Hahn’s lengthy career, she has appeared onscreen with a long list of big stars and appeared in many projects that were big hits. Despite that, nothing that Hahn has been involved with could even come close to stacking up to the importance of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, the MCU is the highest-grossing film franchise in history and that is to say nothing of its TV dominance.
Of course, when most Kathryn Hahn fans learned that she was joining the cast of the MCU series WandaVision, they were pleased. However, at first blush, it was pretty easy to write off Hahn’s involvement in the show as an afterthought. After all, a lot of MCU supporting characters are fun but inconsequential. As it turns out, however, Hahn’s WandaVision character is one of the show’s most intriguing ones. Considering that many of WandaVision’s fans have been reading a lot into every element of the show, saying that about Hahn’s character is really noteworthy. In fact, some of WandaVision fans have even gone so far as to break down every detail of the show’s promotional material.
Big Cash, Different Perspectives
Historically speaking, most character actors have had the respect of their peers and moviegoers but they’ve failed to make a fortune for themselves. Considering that Kathryn Hahn could definitely be described as a character actor, in a lot of ways it is cool to know that she has a reported $2 million net worth. On the other hand, since Hahn’s career has really taken off in recent years, that may seem like a paltry sum to many observers.
Of course, $2 million is a substantial amount of money, to say the least. As a result, feeling bad for Hahn would be pretty silly. However, once you realize how incredibly rich a lot of other actors who’ve appeared in Marvel Cinematic Universe projects are, that casts her fortune in another light. All of that said, Hahn is such a talented performer that there is every reason to think her career will continue to ascend from here and her net worth will as well.
