Aside from being the quintessential final girl of the ’90s, Neve Campbell boasts a career spanning over sixty movies and TV shows. Since her portrayal of Laura Capelli in the 1992 series “The Kids in the Hall,” she has never looked back.
But let’s face it: we all know and love Neve for her iconic role as Sydney Prescott in the “Scream” franchise. Having appeared in all the movies of the universe except the sixth one, she has firmly established herself as a solid figure in the horror genre.
Following a controversial dispute over her salary in the movie where she didn’t star, there has been widespread speculation about her earnings from these new installments. Here, check everything you need to know about her net worth.
What is Neve Campbell’s net worth in 2024?
As anticipated, Neve Campbell’s net worth reflects the dedication she’s poured into making her mark in Hollywood. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her fortune stands at an impressive $10 million.
This income stems from a diverse range of sources, including commercial films, indie circuit movies, and acclaimed theater productions like “Resurrection Blues” and “Love Song”. While many might assume her wealth primarily comes from the “Scream” films, this notion has been proven false.
Neve Campbell’s salary for Scream 7
As reported by various celebrity salary outlets such as Showbiz Galore, it’s anticipated that Neve Campbell’s salary for “Scream 7” will reach $10 million or potentially even exceed that figure.

Speculation on this matter heightened following a recent interview with her on People, where she disclosed that the production team for the upcoming installment offered her a truly dignifying compensation, in contrast to the arrangement for “Scream 6”.
Considering that Courtney Cox, the franchise’s second lead, agreed to participate in the movie for a salary of $7 million, it’s evident that Neve, as the protagonist, was dissatisfied with not receiving a paycheck closer to $15 million.
However, it’s important to note that this lower salary wasn’t indicative of any personal animosity towards Campbell. Even Jenna Ortega, an up-and-coming star, received a modest sum of $600k.
According to the lead of “The Craft”, that low salary also had to do with the disparity between men and women when it comes to payment: “I honestly don’t believe that if I were a man and had done five installments of a huge blockbuster franchise over 25 years that the number that I was offered would be the number that would be offered to a man.”
