Cast Of The Originals: How Much Are They Worth?

Published on July 21, 2016. Updated October 31, 2019

Jumping on the vampire bandwagon, The Originals is an American teen drama series that was created as a spin-off from the popular CW series known as The Vampire Diaries. The show follows the infamous Klaus Mikaelson and his family as they tackle the supernatural politics in New Orleans. The cast is made up of a few favorites from The Vampire Diaries, but also introduces new members like Danielle Campbell, Leah Pipes and Charles Michael Davis. The Originals started back in 2013 and is currently filming the fourth season due sometime next year — it’s had great success and even sparked a new novel series! Here’s a quick look at how much the main cast of The Originals are worth.

7. Claire Holt

Estimated Net Worth: $500 thousand. This Australian actress is best known for her role as Rebekah Mikaelson on The Vampire Diaries and now it’s spin-off series, The Originals. Prior to joining these two shows she also had a regular series role on the television show H2O: Just Add Water as Emma Gilbert. Holt doesn’t have a very dense resume, but it seems every role she’s taken on as an actress has either been as a series regular, main character or in a recurring role. She had a main role in the film Blue Like Jazz and is currently a series regular on the show Aquarius. In addition to her series regular roles, she had a recurring role on The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars. Holt also appeared in the television film, Mean Girl 2. Despite her prominent roles, her net worth is still relatively low sitting at around $500 thousand.

6. Danielle Campbell

Estimated Net Worth: $500 thousand. Danielle Campbell started her career as a Disney star in the role of Jessica Olson in the film StarStruck and as Simone Daniels in Prom. In addition to these two films, Campbell appeared in The Poker House, Madea’s Witness Protection and the upcoming film Race to Redemption. When it comes to television, her career is just as short but she took on a recurring role on Prison Break and one-episode appearances on Zeke and Luther and Drop Dead Diva. Campbell’s biggest role has been as Davina Claire on The Originals from 2013 to 2016. For a small actress who is only 21-years-old, she’s doing quite well for herself! Her estimated net worth is $500 thousand.

5. Leah Pipes

Estimated Net Worth: Unknown. Pipes is most widely remembered for her role in the slasher film, Sorority Row.

She’s also been heavily involved in television with a few regular roles on shows like Lost at Home, Life is Wild, The Deep End and her current role on The Originals. Outside of her regular roles, Pipes has made many one-episode appearances on super popular shows like Glee, Law & Order, The Vampire Diaries, Crossing Jordan, Malcolm in the Middle and Bones. It’s quite surprising that her net worth is unknown because she’s been extremely active as an actress. She’s only 27-years-old so we expect to see a lot more from her in the future! Right now, we suspect her net worth is around $1 million.
