Netflix’s Bridgerton is adapted from the mega-popular novel series of the same name and its author Julia Quinn was more than happy with the love the show was receiving. But “love” wasn’t the only thing Julia felt content about. The book sales had also gone up since Bridgerton first premiered back on Christmas Day 2020.
So, this means Julia’s net worth must have skyrocketed. Get to know all about her earnings and net worth as this article proceeds.
Julia Quinn Net Worth: How Rich Is The Bridgerton Author?
Bridgerton author, Julia Quinn flaunted a net worth of above $10 million in 2022.
But this isn’t just from her sales of Bridgerton. Julia, over her decades of writing, has had multiple romance novels that have made it into the bestseller lists. However, we do have to admit that the Bridgerton series accounts for over half her net worth.
A fan even estimated her total book sales earning to be around $23 million (not including tax).
The first Bridgerton book ever was published back on January 5, 2000. And it was luck that gave the book a Netflix adaptation. Yes! According to Shonda Rhimes (Bridgerton’s producer), she “stumbled upon” the book on vacation as she ran out of books to read.
So, having read the first series, Shonda knew she had to bring it to life. Thus, she called Julia’s agent, and things proceeded thereafter.
A few years later, Bridgerton season 1 then aired on Netflix on Dec 25, 2020, and within a month, it had a whopping 82 million households streams. And it wasn’t just the ladies who watched or read Bridgerton, Julia explained. The author claimed that men made up 11.8% of her fan group. However, she also confessed that most of them said, “I watched it because my wife, girlfriend, or sister was watching it.”
Bridgerton season 2 aired on March 25, 2022, and it was getting much love as ever. As per Julia, this season was also going to challenge the perception of TV audiences, and the love story between Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) would be an interesting one.
How Much Did Julia Quinn Get Paid For The Bridgerton Series?
Julia Quinn’s deal with the Bridgerton wasn’t made public. However, we do know that the show’s creator Shonda Rhimes signed a deal with Netflix for $150 million in 2017.
According to Julia, she has “relinquished creative control of her story.”
