American actress, director, and producer Sara Gilbert has an estimated net worth of $27 million dollars, as of 2023. She’s best known for her role as Darlene Conner on the ABC sitcom, Roseanne.

Sara was born on January 29, 1975, in Santa Monica, California. Her maternal grandfather is Harry Crane, known as the writer and creator of the CBS sitcom The Honeymooners. She has four older half-siblings, two of which are Melissa and Jonathan Gilbert – popular stars of the drama series Little House on the Prairie. During her pre-teen and teen years, Gilbert developed an interest in acting and attended various acting classes to improve her skills.

Her very first television appearance was in the 1984 television movie Calamity Jane when she was just 9 years old. Four years later, after a stint role in ABC Weekend Special, she received the life-changing role of Darlene Conner-Healy in the sitcom Roseanne.

The role elevated the career of Sara Gilbert, who at the time was a teenager, as it not only became successful but very rich as well. Simultaneously with her work in Roseanne, Gilbert also attended Yale University, from which she graduated in 1997 with honors and a major in art and photography. “I flew back and forth and did episodes of Roseanne while I was at Yale,” Gilbert has said.

The show was a huge hit as it amassed an audience of nearly 40 million viewers during its first few seasons. Besides millions, the role also earned her several awards and nominations, including two Young Artist Awards and one nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award.

In addition to the role of Darlene Conner, Gilbert starred in various films and television series that added to her earnings. The very first film that she took part in was the 1992 erotic thriller Poison Ivy, thanks to which she received a nomination for Independent Spirit Award. Apart from acting, during her twenties, Sara became interested in working as a producer and director. She served as executive producer of Roseanne and directed her first film titled Persona Non-Grata, which premiered in 1998.

Shortly after the ninth season of Roseanne, the actress and director continued to star in various series such as 24, ER, Twins, and The Class. In 2007, she joined the cast of the widely-popular series The Big Bang Theory where she played the role of Leslie Winkle.

Gilbert’s lifetime career earnings are estimated at close to $50 million, of course, she will have had to pay some hefty tax on that.

Sara Gilbert married Linda Perry in 2014 and they later divorced in 2019. It is unclear if either party paid alimony payments to each other, after all, Linda Perry had an estimated net worth of about $15 million. It is likely that they both took out of the marriage, what they brought into it. In her personal life Gilbert has remained stable and has likely invested quite some of the wealth that she earned in the 90s and 2000s.

In her personal life Gilbert has likely spent $5-6 million dollars of her career earnings but also probably possesses assets valued at around $2-3 million, not including investment assets. In her investments, she may have earned investment returns of $6-8 million dollars. Therefore, it is estimated that Sara Gilbert has a net worth of around $27 million dollars.
