Gabriel Macht played Harvey Specter for nearly a decade in the legal drama Suits. It went on to become his biggest role in his career and earned him millions in paychecks. According to reports, he was the highest-paid actor in the series. However, his salary wasn’t enough to earn him a net worth comparable to that of his co-star from the series.
Meghan Markle, who played Rachel Zane in the series, earned only about a third of what Macht made from the series. However, she married into British royalty after her acting career, making her the richest among her Suits co-stars. Markle has a net worth of $60 million as of 2024.
Gabriel Macht Is Not The Richest Suits Star Despite His Massive Paycheck
Gabriel Macht hasn’t acted in any projects since Suits ended in 2019. It is safe to say that Macht’s hiatus from acting wouldn’t have much effect on his livelihood, given that he made quite a fortune from Suits. He progressively negotiated some good money throughout the nine-season run of the series.
According to Sumissura, Macht initially earned a salary of $60,000 per episode for the first couple of seasons. The show was a huge success, which helped Macht to negotiate a better deal for the next few seasons. Macht went on to receive $100,000 per episode for seasons 3 to 5. He negotiated an even better deal of $150,000 per episode for the last four seasons.
Some sources like The Richest even reported that Macht negotiated per episode salary in the range of half a million for the final seasons. In comparison, Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty were making $60,000 per episode in their final few seasons. Meghan Markle earned $50,000 per episode for seasons 5 to 7.
Macht appeared in all nine seasons and 134 episodes of the show. According to Sumissura’s calculations, Macht must’ve made a total of $15 million from the series. He has an estimated net worth of $8 million in 2024, something he shares with his wife and actress, Jacinda Barrett (via ComingSoon.net).
Despite his high salary, his net worth is very low compared to that of his co-star Markle. The Rachel Zane actress went on to marry Prince Harry and became the Duchess of Sussex before stepping away from her royal duties. Her combined wealth with Harry is estimated to be $60 million (via The Richest).
| Suits actors | Salaries during the final seasons | Net Worth |
| Gabriel Macht | $150,000 per episode | $8 million |
| Sarah Rafferty | $60,000 per episode | $3 million |
| Patrick J. Adams | $60,000 per episode | $10 million |
| Meghan Markle | $50,000 per episode | $60 million |
| Gina Torres | $50,000 per episode | $15 million |
| Rick Hoffman | $60,000 per episode | $1 million |
However, the site also reported that her net worth was estimated to be around $5 million before she became part of British royalty. Macht’s net worth is also reportedly lower than that of co-stars Adams and Gina Torres.
Gabriel Macht Is Returning As Harvey Specter In Suits Spin-Off
Gabriel Macht is reportedly making his big on-screen return. It was announced that he would return as Harvey Specter in a guest role in the Suits spin-off Suits: L.A. Macht shared the news on his Instagram, where he shared a video of him with “H.S.” embroidered on the sleeve of his shirt. He wrote, “When an old friend is in need… it’s time to take care of things and make those very ‘things’ right.”
When Suits wrapped up in 2019, Harvey Specter and his wife Donna moved to Seattle to work with Mike Ross and Rachel Zane. The spin-off takes place in a new law firm in Los Angeles. Stephen Amell plays Ted Black, a former New York prosecutor who recently moved to L.A. It is possible that Harvey and Ted might have a past connection.
Variety reported that Macht will appear in three episodes of the first season of Suits L.A. The original series is now available for streaming on Netflix.
