"The Simpsons" has been on air since its debut back in December 1989! The show, which follows the hilarious lives of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and everyone in between, has been a household staple for as long as we can remember. Whether you are a lifelong fan of the show, or simply enjoy watching it now and again, there is no denying just how great of a cartoon "The Simpsons" truly is.
Considering the show has been on-air for nearly four decades, fans are always curious to know more about the voices behind their favorite characters. As for Bart Simpson, the incredible Nancy Cartwright has been voicing him for nearly 700 episodes! The star has been with the show since its start and has made quite a fortune doing what she is so great at. With that being said, here is everything we know about Nancy Cartwrights' impressive "Simpsons" salary.
The Voice Of Bart Simpson
Nancy Cartwright voices one of "The Simpsons" most loved characters, Bart Simpson! The actress and voice-over artist has been part of the show since the very beginning. While voicing the same character for over 30 years might get tiring for some, Nancy has loved every minute of it, and who wouldn't when you are being paid $300,000 per episode. This impressive salary is known to be the set salary for all main voice actors, which ultimately comes up to about $7 million per season.
This line of work has not only allowed Nancy to make a name for herself but amass a whopping net worth of $80 million! While we know and love Nancy as the voice of Bart Simpson, the star also voices a number of other characters from the show too! Cartwright is also behind the voices of Nelson Muntz, Ralph Wiggum, Todd Flanders, Kearney, and Database! Considering Nancy has taken on the role of voicing over six characters for the show, she has certainly earned every single penny she's made.
While a net worth that massive is quite the feat, Nancy didn't make it all doing voice work. She has also appeared in a number of television shows and films over the course of her career. A few films that many may recognize Nancy from include "A Good Life", "Flesh + Blood" and "Godzilla". In addition to her work on-screen, Nancy Cartwright also wrote a book titled "My Life As A 10-Year-Old Boy", poking fun at the fact that she has been playing Bart Simpson for so long.
Although she may be worth millions, Nancy knows how to treat her fans! The star ran into a 13-year-old student selling chocolate outside of a Macy's department store for a school fundraiser. While the boy had no clue who Nancy was, she quickly put on the Bart Simpson voice and 13-year-old James knew exactly who he was talking to. She purchased 10 chocolate bars and later signed a "Simpsons" card for him, too. If there is someone in the business who is doing things right, it is certainly Nancy Cartwright!
