Suffice to say, the performers on Stranger Things do very well for themselves. The supporting cast, which consists of the main kids as well as Dyer and her frequent onscreen partner, Charlie Heaton, each bring in about $150,000 an episode, according to information from The Hollywood Reporter. Given that Dyer's character is a constant presence on the show, that adds up to quite a bit.
Combined with her other projects, her estimated net worth is reportedly around $2 million (via Celebrity Net Worth). It's not a bad rainy-day fund, but it's been a bit of a learning curve for the young actress trying to navigate attaining fame and money so early in life. In an interview with Clash, Dyer discussed how her introverted nature can be at odds with what's expected of her as an A-lister: "I struggle with the idea of fame. I never want to come across as rude or ungrateful. People on the street want to take pictures all the time, and for me, I tend to not take pictures. It feels very exhausting, and you feel like you have to be 'on' all the time."
Still, the accomplished actress has no plans of slowing down any time soon. She spoke with NME about the future of her career and exclaimed, "I'm ready and willing to do an action movie [because] that would be a lot of fun. Something Tom Cruise-y!" Sounds like she's also getting ready to do her own insane stunts, then.
