Christina Applegate ranks above Linda Cardellini in the two comparable published estimates available: Celebrity Net Worth lists Applegate at $20 million and Cardellini at $7 million. These are estimates from one publisher, not verified financial statements—and they do not establish a ranking of the full Dead to Me cast.
Published net worth estimates for the two leads
| Actor | Role in Dead to Me | Celebrity Net Worth estimate | Date qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christina Applegate | Jen Harding | $20 million | Her page is marked updated April 16, 2026. |
| Linda Cardellini | Judy Hale | $7 million | The page does not state a clear valuation date. |
Celebrity Net Worth says its figures draw on public sources and, when available, private tips and feedback from celebrities or their representatives. It also says figures are estimates unless otherwise indicated. The publisher does not establish that these two estimates use identical valuation dates or independently verified inputs. Its older Applegate page version showed $25 million, rather than the $20 million on the page updated in 2026—a reminder that such figures can change.

Read the comparison as a ranking of what one site currently publishes, not proof of either actor’s assets, debts, taxes, investments, residuals, or cash on hand. No authoritative public source confirming either person’s total net worth is established here.
Why this is not a full cast ranking
Dead to Me is a Netflix series centered on Jen Harding, played by Applegate, and Judy Hale, played by Cardellini. Netflix Tudum describes it as a three-season story and its November 18, 2022 interview discusses creator Liz Feldman and stars Cardellini and James Marsden. The available sourced figures support a comparison of the two leads only; comparable estimates for the broader ensemble are not established, so ranking additional cast members would imply evidence that is not available.
#1 Best Overall
The Television Academy records Applegate as a lead-actress nominee for playing Jen Harding. Its Cardellini profile documents work across television and film, including ER, Freaks and Geeks, and Dead to Me. These are career context, not a basis for calculating personal wealth.

A net worth estimate is not the same as a disclosed salary or an audited account. The publisher’s figures are not accompanied by balance sheets or comparable financial disclosures establishing how assets and liabilities were assessed, or whether both estimates refer to the same date. Celebrity Net Worth also publishes salary claims related to Applegate and the show, but those are publisher-reported estimates, not independently verified compensation; they do not validate the net worth figure.
Rank #2
For readers comparing celebrity wealth claims, the useful checks are who published the number, whether the publisher identifies it as an estimate, when the page was updated, and whether the inputs or valuation period are explained. Here, attribution and the update date are available for Applegate’s page, while Cardellini’s page does not give a clear valuation date. Neither page provides a comparable, audited disclosure.
