The Secret Life of the American Teenager had five successful seasons which is quite impressive for a teen drama. Created by the same show runner as 7th Heaven, the series tackles some pretty heavy societal issues by telling the story of teen pregnancy and how it affects the lives of a close-knit group of friends and family members. The Secret Life of the American Teenager served as a platform for many young actors to get their start alongside some pretty big names like Molly Ringwald and Steve Schirripa. Here’s a look at how much the cast is worth now, three years later!

Outside of her main castings, she’s done one episode appearances on shows like Medium, The Outer Limits, The $treet, and Different Strokes. She’s still sitting comfortably on her royalties from The Breakfast Club as she’s now estimated to be worth $11 million.

Estimated Net Worth: $1 million. This Canadian actress/singer has been around for quite some time taking on roles since she was a child. She started off with a role in the ABC family movie This Time Around and moved onto a few other Lifetime movies like She’s Too Young and The Road to Christmas. She started appearing on television on shows like Angela’s Eyes, Dark Oracle, Life with Derek and then landed her life changing role as a regular on The Secret Life of the American Teenager as Grace Bowman. Once Park got her big break on TV, the roles came effortlessly. She can be found doing appearances on shows like Entourage, Happy Endings, The Newsroom, and Jane the Virgin. She’s held recurring roles on The Neighbors and The Lottery, as well as starring roles in films like Charlie Bartlett, The F Word and Demonic. Despite all of her hard work, she’s still only quoted as being worth $1 million. We suspect that might be a bit higher, but regardless she’s quite comfortable!

In addition to this, he authored the novels, “Solip” and “Say, Cut, Map” and the nonfiction book, “Earthbound.” He owns and operates a non-profit publishing company and designs books for Boos Fight Books.

He did appear in an episode of Stalker, two episodes of the webseries Blue and the horror film, Ouija. His most notable role since would probably be a 7 episode stint in Red Band Society between 2014 and 2015. His lack of roles leaves his net worth sitting pretty low, but he’s still doing alright for himself with a net worth of about $450 thousand.
