Over the last several years, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has become one of the most beloved shows on television. While Brooklyn Nine-Nine is set to come to an end soon, fans shouldn’t be too sad as the series will go out on top and its stars are likely to enjoy a great deal of success in the years to come. On top of that, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has made most of its stars wealthy, including Chelsea Peretti who is said to be worth $20 million as of the time of this writing.
Even though it is fascinating to learn that Chelsea Peretti is worth so much money, that figure is far from the most interesting aspect of her fortune. After all, if you think that Peretti solely made that money during her tenure as one of Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s stars, that isn’t the case at all. Instead, Peretti’s career has been a lot more diverse than a lot of people realize. On top of that, some of Peretti’s personal fortune has nothing to do with her career, even though she has accomplished so much.
Main Claim To Fame
Back when Brooklyn Nine-Nine debuted on television in 2013, there was no doubt that the show’s main stars were Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, and Andre Braugher. However, it didn’t take too long for Chelsea Peretti to become one of the show’s breakout stars. While there are many reasons for that, Peretti’s animated portrayal of Gina Linetti played a key role in the character becoming one of the most unique ones on network television.
While it seemed hard to believe that a major police precinct would employ someone like Gina Linetti, Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans never expected Chelsea Peretti to leave the series. Sadly, after starring in Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s first six seasons, Peretti’s character was written out of the show during its seventh season. Even though Peretti exited stage left, there is still no doubt that she left a huge shadow behind. Given how important Peretti has been to Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s legacy, it is nice to know that she made a pretty penny during her tenure on the show.
Other Ventures
During her Brooklyn Nine-Nine tenure, Chelsea Peretti showed off her dancing skills repeatedly. Despite that, the reason why Peretti is a triple threat has nothing to do with her unique and mesmerizing dance skills. Instead, Peretti is a talented, actor, comedian, and writer. In terms of her standup comedy career, Peretti has spent a lot of time making money and honing her craft on stage. In fact, Peretti is a talented enough comedian that she earned her own Netflix comedy special, 2014’s Chelsea Peretti: One of the Greats.
In order for a writer to become famous, they usually have to enjoy a level of success that is unattainable for the vast majority of people. With that in mind, it makes sense that Chelsea Peretti’s writing career hasn’t received all that much attention. That said, it is impressive that she has written for shows like Parks and Recreation, WTF with Marc Maron, and Saturday Night Live in the past. On top of her television writing credits, Peretti has penned pieces for The Village Voice, Details, Playgirl, Jest, American Theatre Magazine, and The Huffington Post
In this day and age, podcasts have become a major force in the entertainment industry. Obviously aware of that fact, Peretti has made memorable appearances on a slew of podcasts including “Doug Loves Movies”, “How Did This Get Made?”, “You Made It Weird”, and “Armchair Expert”. In addition to all of those appearances, she has become the host of “Call Chelsea Peretti”, a podcast in which she fields calls from her listeners and discusses weekly themes. Given all of the jobs Peretti has had over the years, is it any wonder that she has amassed so much money?
Wedded Bliss
As of the time of this writing, Chelsea Peretti is worth $20 million according to celebritynetworth.com. Even though the website lists many of the ways Peretti has made money over the years, it claims that much of her fortune is related to her husband Jordan Peele. “Her net worth listed on this page is mostly attributable to Jordan, who in 2019 signed a $300-400 million overall deal with Universal Pictures”.
After meeting online, Chelsea Peretti and Jordan Peele became a couple in 2013, even though they kept their relationship private for a while. After dating for a while, the couple got engaged in 2015 and eloped the following year. In 2017, Peretti and Peele added a new member to their family when she gave birth to their son Beaumont. While the couple tends to keep most details of their personal life private, especially when it comes to their son, they are very forthright about how much they adore one another.
