Everybody wants a piece of the dramatic yet addictive story in The Summer I Turned Pretty—at least those who have followed Belly (Lola Tung), Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), and Conrad (Christopher Briney) through the show’s three seasons. One thing is clear: it might not be the best example of healthy relationships, but it’s definitely a fast lane to fame, recognition, and perhaps, money?
The final episodes of the most viral love story so far dropped on September 3. Many questions are being raised: Who will Belly end up with? But honestly, one of our biggest doubts is—how much do the main actors make per episode? Especially considering that this is, without a doubt, one of the most relevant productions of 2025.
Salaries are always an interesting topic when it comes to big projects, and this Amazon Prime series has become the platform’s No. 1 show of the summer—surpassing other big titles like Head Over Heels, We Were Liars, Countdown, or Ballard.
When stories like this go viral, big checks usually follow. Just think of Sarah Jessica Parker, who earned around $3.2M per episode as Carrie Bradshaw during Sex and the City, or the casts of Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and Big Little Lies, who made about $1M per episode. Even Ellen Pompeo earned roughly $500K for her role as Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy.
Are the Cast Salaries Public?
Exact figures for The Summer I Turned Pretty cast haven’t been confirmed yet. Outlets like Cosmopolitan have ventured into the topic, offering some clues. “Prime is known for paying celebs a ton,” they noted in a recent article, citing Chris Pratt’s reported $1.5M per episode for The Terminal List.
The Things is another outlet dropping approximate numbers. According to them, The Summer I Turned Pretty is Lola Tung’s first leading role. When she’s not acting, she’s «focusing on her studies,» and her estimated net worth is between $250K–$450K.
Gavin Casalegno has a longer acting trajectory—he already appeared in TV series like Walker and The Vampire Diaries, and even in the film Noah. His net worth is estimated at around $1M, according to The Things.
As for Christopher Briney, he graduated from Pace University and worked in theater before joining the cast. His estimated net worth is about $1.5M, according to the same outlet.
Still, it’s important to note that these are not official figures—just rough estimations based on the cast’s career paths so far.
