According to Celebrity Net Worth, Chrissy Metz is worth an estimated $7 million at the time of this writing, and reportedly makes $250,000 for each episode of This Is Us. Not a bad gig if you can get it, huh? But as evidenced by her bit parts on TV before landing the NBC drama, life wasn't always easy for Metz, financially or otherwise, which is why her salary is all the more impressive these days.
It even took Metz years before she became an actress, having worked as an agent's assistant, a set nanny, and an agent herself before making it big. "It was difficult, though, because it was like watching your boyfriend take another woman out every day and everybody's going on auditions and you're like, 'Yeah, great, have fun,'" the This Is Me: Loving the Person You Are Today author told NPR in 2018. "And I ate my feelings and I was depressed and I was like, 'This is not what I came here for.' But I also know, like I stated earlier, that we're here to be of service. And if I couldn't do what I wanted to do, I could at least help people do what they wanted to do."
Metz went on to admit that, just before she landed American Horror Story in 2014, she was ready to leave Hollywood, go back home to Florida, and teach pre-school.
