Joan Cusack has an estimated net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Joan Cusack net worth page (figures as of January 5, 2024).
Joan Cusack is an American actress who was born on October 11, 1962, in New York City and raised in Evanston, Illinois. She is known for her distinctive voice and offbeat comic timing. She earned Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress for Working Girl in 1988 and In and Out in 1997, and she won a Primetime Emmy Award for her work as Sheila Jackson on Showtime's Shameless.
Her film credits include Addams Family Values, School of Rock, Toys and Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. She has voiced Jessie in the Toy Story films since Toy Story 2, winning an Annie Award for that role, and she was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1985 to 1986. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1984 with a degree in English.
How Joan Cusack makes her money
Supporting film roles have been a steady core. Oscar-nominated turns in Working Girl and In and Out, plus comic leads such as Debbie Jellinsky in Addams Family Values and principal Roz Mullins in School of Rock, kept her booked across studio comedies and dramas for decades.
Voice work is a major recurring stream. Voicing Jessie across Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4 and Toy Story 5, plus Abby Mallard in Chicken Little and narrating Peep and the Big Wide World, brings residuals and franchise fees.
Television added another peak when she joined Shameless as Sheila Jackson from 2011 to 2015, earning five Emmy nominations and a win in 2015.
Earlier sketch comedy on Saturday Night Live and later guest and commercial work round out a long working actress career.
