Introduction

Mariska Hargitay is an American professional actress with an estimated net worth of $100 Million.

Law & Order: SVU Salary

Since Hargitay has starred in Law & Order: SVU for over two and a half decades, tracking her salary throughout the show’s history is difficult. In 2007, her salary was reportedly $350,000 per episode, which would have earned her $6.65 million for season nine and $7.7 million for season ten.

In 2009, the cast negotiated new contracts, bagging Hargitay $400,000 per episode for seasons eleven and twelve. Mariska’s 2011 lawsuit against WME, her former talent agency, corroborated this figure. She left the agency for Paradigm in 2009, claiming that they failed to organize her Law & Order contract renewal.

At $400,000 per episode, she would have earned $9.6 million apiece for seasons eleven and twelve and $9.2 million for season thirteen. Those figures bring her salary for just five seasons to $42.75 million.

In 2012, Mariska signed a new deal with Universal Television worth $500,000 per episode. Since then, twelve more seasons and 256 episodes of the show have aired. Assuming she retained the $500,000 salary throughout, that would amount to $128 million. So, now we have an estimate of $170.75 million for seasons 9-25.

Prior to season nine, Hargitay starred in 183 episodes of Law & Order: SVU. Even if we assume a much lower average salary of $100,000 per episode for seasons 1-8, that would still come to $18.3 million. No matter which way you slice it, Hargitay has most likely received well over $185 million in salary from the show.
