Amanda Bynes Net Worth 2026: Court Filings, Rental Home, New Ventures

Amanda Bynes has a net worth of about $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth (checked September 2026). Most of it is not new money. It is what remains of her Nickelodeon and film earnings from the late 1990s and 2000s, held largely in a Calabasas, California, house she bought in 2011 and has rented out for more than a decade.

Where Amanda Bynes' money comes from

Child and teen acting (1996-2010)

Bynes was a working actor from about age seven until she announced her retirement in June 2010. Celebrity Net Worth says that at her peak she earned $2 million to $3 million a year, and that her net worth topped out around $8 million to $9 million by 2010. Her main credits:

• All That (Nickelodeon, 1996-2000) and its spinoff The Amanda Show (1999-2002)
• What I Like About You (The WB, 2002-2006), co-starring Jennie Garth
• Films: Big Fat Liar (2002), What a Girl Wants (2003), She's the Man (2006), Hairspray (2007), Sydney White (2007) and Easy A (2010)

No studio has published her fee for any of these roles, so the annual range above is the only earnings figure available.

Rental income

Since leaving acting, her steadiest income has come from property. Court filings in 2014 showed she earned $144,768 the previous year, all of it rent, with negligible royalties, according to Celebrity Net Worth's report on the documents. The main source is the Calabasas house (see Assets below).

Fashion and music (2024-2026)

Bynes studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and earned an associate degree in merchandise product development in 2019, Parade reported. In 2024 she worked with designer Austin Babbitt on a clothing collection that used her artwork. In 2026 she began selling handbags under her own brand, New York $peed; Parade noted one design listed at $218.

She has also gone back to music. In April 2026 she released "Girlfriend" with Zabba and rapper Fenix Flexin, her first song in four years, after signing with Create Music Group, People reported. Sales and streaming figures for either venture have not been published, and neither is likely to change her net worth much yet.

Career timeline

Amanda Laura Bynes was born on April 3, 1986, in Thousand Oaks, California, according to Wikipedia. Her father is a dentist and her mother worked as a dental assistant and office manager, per Celebrity Net Worth. Her first paid job was a TV commercial for Buncha Crunch candy.

The conservatorship and her finances

After a series of legal problems in 2012 and 2013, including a DUI arrest reported by Celebrity Net Worth, Bynes' parents were granted a conservatorship over her in 2013. In court papers they said she had spent about $1.2 million of her savings in under a year, per Celebrity Net Worth.

The October 2014 filings gave the clearest public picture of her money anyone has seen:

• Total assets of about $5.7 million
• About $2.8 million in real estate
• About $2.9 million in cash and cash equivalents
• Income the previous year of $144,768, all from rent

The conservatorship covered both her person and her estate. On March 22, 2022, Judge Roger L. Lund of Ventura County Superior Court ended it, saying it was no longer required, Variety reported. Bynes had filed to end it the previous month with the support of her mother, her attorney and her psychiatrist. Since then she has controlled her own finances.

The practical effect for her net worth is that her assets were protected and managed for nearly nine years, during a period in which she had little earned income. That is a large part of why her fortune today looks close to what it was in 2014.

Assets

Her one well-documented asset is the Calabasas home. According to Celebrity Net Worth:

• She paid $1.879 million in November 2011 for the four-bedroom, 4,600-square-foot house.
• It was first listed as a rental in October 2012 at $9,300 a month.
• In August 2023 it was listed again at $16,500 a month, then cut to $14,950 before finding a tenant that October.
• The outlet estimates it is now worth about $4 million, with nearby sales suggesting $4 million to $5 million.

At the 2023 asking rent, the house could bring in roughly $180,000 a year before costs, based on twelve months at $14,950. That is an arithmetic illustration from the listed rent, not a reported income figure.

Amanda Bynes' net worth compared

Figures are Celebrity Net Worth estimates, checked September 2026.

Child-star fortunes vary widely depending on what happened after the early fame. Linda Blair is another actor whose wealth was shaped by a famous role as a teenager. For a sitcom lead of the same years who kept working, see George Lopez.

Why estimates differ

Most reputable pages repeat Celebrity Net Worth's $6 million. Others range from $1 million to more than $10 million, usually without a source. The $6 million figure is better grounded than most celebrity estimates because it starts from court filings: $5.7 million in assets in 2014.

What has changed since then is harder to see. The Calabasas house has risen in value on Celebrity Net Worth's numbers, which pushes the total up. Living costs over twelve years, legal and care costs during the conservatorship, and whatever she has spent since regaining control in 2022 all push it down. Her new bag and music ventures are too recent to measure. Because her finances stopped being supervised by a court in 2022, there are no newer filings to update the figure.
