The exact figure of Coughlan’s salary for her starring role in Bridgerton is not confirmed, but the actor has as estimated net worth of £1.6 million according the The Mirror.

However if what season 1 star Regé-Jean Page turned down to reprise their role is anything to go by, its a lot. According to Hollywood Reporter, Page reportedly declined a huge sum as a guest star on season 2 of Bridgerton. The actor was asked to return for three to five episodes, netting $50,000 for each one, but turned down the opportunity for "a multitude of reasons”.
