How Much Money Does Flo Make From Progressive Commercials

Not too long ago, actors who appeared in TV commercials weren't of much interest to the public. But that changed with commercials for she-sheds and car insurance.

In fact, car insurance has brought TV watchers some of the unlikeliest celebrities. First there was Jake from State Farm, though the original Jake has since been replaced. But even before Jake came Flo from Progressive.

Around 2008, Flo began appearing in Progressive commercials, and TV watchers were intrigued. Flo was funny, quirky, and everyone soon came to recognize her as the face of the insurance brand.

But who is Flo from Progressive, and the most important question: how much money does she make?

Who Is Flo From Progressive?

Sure, she's very recognizable on TV as Flo, what with her red lipstick and trademark Progressive outfit. But when she's not being Flo, who is the woman from the car insurance commercials?

It turns out she's actress Stephanie Courtney. Despite having a long history of fronting for Progressive, Courtney also has a very long acting resume. The thing is, she looks a little different when she's not in her Flo getup. Or, any of Flo's alter egos... Although, shedoes apparently hang out with "Jamie" from Progressive in her downtime.

In real life, though, Stephanie has had plenty of other gigs, from her role on 'The Goldbergs' to appearances on shows like '2 Broke Girls,' 'Fred: The Show,' and even 'House.'

In fact, she's probably a bit frustrated with all the attention she gets as Flo sometimes. Of course, she probably isn't complaining about the pay.

How Much Does Flo Make A Year?

The big question fans want answered is how much money Flo earns. Now that fans know Stephanie Courtney isn't an actual insurance agent with Progressive, what is the company paying the actress for her trouble?

There's no hard data on how much Progressive pays out for their spokesperson. But overall, Stephanie Courtney reportedly makes about $2 million per year. That's from a combination of acting gigs, of course, though not all are as high-profile as the job with Progressive.

What Is Flo's Net Worth?

Now that she's a famous actress, what is Flo's -- well, Stephanie Courtney's -- net worth? Sources peg her at around $6 million these days. That means she probably hasn't been earning big bucks since joining Progressive in 2008.

After all, $2M per year would add up fast. It's likely that over time, Stephanie has fetched a higher and higher price from all of her acting gigs. Who knows whether she'll price out of Progressive's network at some point -- and possibly be replaced just like State Farm's former insurance guru. Besides, many celebs started out acting in commercials. Courtney could go anywhere.

But there's still Jamie, right?
