Wendi McLendon-Covey is worth an estimated $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Despite McLendon-Covey's success in film and TV, she had a part-time job until 2012, according to Wealth Simple. "I looked for jobs that gave me flexibility so that I could go on auditions. But I always had a job." She edited a social work journal and appreciated the flexibility that came with it. "I'd be in my trailer on set editing things, and on location with my computer and my manuscript editing. It gave me a sense of stability that I had this steady income coming in."
Contrary to popular belief, McLendon-Covey says people think actors make a lot of money, but it's actually a lot less once publicists, managers, and taxes are paid. "The money is good when you're working. But you can go a long time between jobs," she added. ABC's "The Goldbergs" came along in 2013, but the actor "never felt secure." "You never feel like, oh, I've made it, this is gonna run forever. Because you don't know. You never know."
McLendon-Covey lives in Long Beach, Calif. but has four rental properties and is "raring to buy some more." Given her savvy ethic, her net worth should only rise! "Real estate, you can actually see it, you can drive past it, you can check in on it. It just makes me happy to do that," she added to Wealth Simple. "I plan on working until I'm 105."
