How much did Sarah Jessica Parker make from Sex and the City?
Parker starred as the lead of Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw, for six seasons from 1998 to 2004. She was also an executive producer for the last three seasons. It’s unclear what Parker made at the start of Sex and the City, but according to Celebrity Net Worth, she made $3.2 million per episode for seasons 4 through 6. (In comparison, her costars, Cattrall, Nixon and Davis, only made $350,000 per episode.) SJP’s much higher salary wasdue to her executive producer credit on the series, as well as her billing as Sex and the City‘s lead. If her reported salary is true, SJP would’ve made $64 million for season 6 after starring in 20 episodes. As for the films, Celebrity Net Worth reports that SJP, who was also an executive producer for the Sex and the City movies, made $15 million for Sex and the City: The Movie and $20 million for Sex and the City 2. (Read about the full Sex and the City cast salary here.)
Of course, SJP’s Sex and the City salaries don’t come without drama. In 2017, The New York Post reported that Parker’s massive salary for the series was a point of contention between her and Cattrall. There was a disparity between what Sarah got and what the other girls got. Everyone loved Kim’s character, people related to her—and [Kim’s] salary wasn’t showing that,” a source told The New York Post. Though Cattrall made $3 more than Davis and Nixon for the Sex and the City movies (Cattrall was paid $7 million for the first film and $10 million for the second), her salary was nowhere near SJP’s.
How much did Sarah Jessica Parker make from And Just Like That?
Variety reported in January 2021 that Parker, Davis and Nixon received at least than $1 million per episode for the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That. Davis and Nixon are also executive producers on the spinoff. The decision to keep SJP, Davis and Nixon’s salaries the same came after controversy during the series and the two movies over how much more Parker made than her three co-stars, including Cattrall. ccording to Bustle, Cattrall asked to be paid $1 million per episode for Sex and the City season 7. The request was rejected, which may explain why the series ended after season 6. Cattrall also confirmed in an interview on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross in 2004 that money was part of the reason Sex and the City ended. “I felt after six years it was time for all of us to participate in the financial windfall of Sex and the City,” she said at the time. “When they didn’t seem keen on that I thought it was time to move on.” In 2017, Variety also reported that Cattrall initially didn’t sign on for the first film but did so after she was offered a raise.
