Lisa Kudrow has an estimated net worth of $130 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Lisa Kudrow net worth page (figures as of October 28, 2026).

Lisa Kudrow is an American actress, comedian and producer who was born on July 30, 1963, in Encino, California. She studied biology at Vassar College and worked with her father on headache research before turning to comedy. She joined the Groundlings improv troupe in Los Angeles and played Ursula on the sitcom Mad About You before landing her signature role.

In 1994 she was cast as the eccentric masseuse and musician Phoebe Buffay on Friends, and she won an Emmy Award in 1998. After the show ended in 2004 she created and starred in the HBO series The Comeback and later produced the documentary series Who Do You Think You Are?. Her films include Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Analyze This and Hotel Transylvania, and she joined the Friends reunion special in 2021.

How Lisa Kudrow makes her money

Television is the largest source. Friends made her one of the best-paid women on television, with the main cast earning rising per-episode salaries for the later seasons.

Syndication and streaming deals keep paying. Friends is rewatched around the world, and residuals from its enormous audience continue long after the finale.

Producing gives her a second career. She co-created The Comeback and produced Who Do You Think You Are?, earning executive producer fees and a share of those projects.

Film and voice work fill in the gaps, including a role in Hotel Transylvania and comedic supporting parts across several decades.

Her 2021 return for the Friends reunion special was another paid event that tapped into the show's enormous fan base.

Her Emmy win in 1998 and long-running cult following for The Comeback show she can attract projects she wants, which supports her fees across television and film.
