According to CelebrityNetWorthKaley Cuoco has a net worth of $110 million. Cuoco's most lucrative acting role came from The Big Bang Theory. For season 1, Cuoco earned $45,000/episode. For seasons 2-4, she earned $200,000/episode. This went up to $350,000/episode for seasons 5-7, $850,000/episode for seasons 8-10, and $1,000,000 for seasons 11 and 12. If that weren't enough, Cuoco and her cast mates negotiated for 1% of the show's backend equity, which came out to $10 million in the first year alone.

This, combined with residuals for The Big Bang Theory, not to mention her salaries and payments from the many other popular shows she's been a part of, are why Cuoco has such a high net worth.

Kaley Cuoco's Age & Height

Cuoco Is A Sagittarius

Kaley Cuoco is 5' 6" according to multiple sources, including IMDb. She was born on November 30, 1985, making her 38 in the fall of 2024. That birthdate also makes her a Sagittarius, a fire sign in the zodiac. Sagittariuses are a unique blend of passion, curiosity, intensity, and adaptability (via Allure). These signs are born to roam and desire change.

That may seem at odds with someone who stayed with the same series for 12 years, but Penny also notably changed a lot during The Big Bang Theory, and Cuoco surely had some say in the different directions her character went in. Cuoco also has a history with horse riding and there are few more apt hobbies for Sagittariuses, who have the sign of a free exploring centaur, to take up.

Kaley Cuoco has not contained her professional endeavors to acting. In 2023, Cuoco launched "Oh, Norman!", a pet care brand named for her pit bull mix who died in January 2021 at the age of 14 (via People). A long-time animal advocate, Cuoco said about the business,

"I launched Oh Norman! to fill the gap in the market for affordable, eco-friendly, and ethically sourced products for dogs. Since launch, my furry ones have been testing all of our products from apparel and cleaning wipes to toys and treats."

The Oh, Norman! website has supplements, toys, and treats designed for dogs in mind but which can also be shared with cats. Oh, Norman! also donates money and products to rescue shelters and makes an effort to feature rescue dogs on their site. This is a business that may not move the needle on Kaley Cuoco's net worth, but it's clearly something close to her heart.
