Meghan Markle aspired to achieve great things from a young age, aiming to be “rich and famous.” This dream was realized when she landed a role at 30 in USA Network’s Suits.
As Rachel Zane, a paralegal who evolves into a lawyer, she played a key role in the series from 2011 to 2017, becoming known for her intelligence, wit, and vulnerability as the partner of Patrick Adams‘ character, Mike Ross.
With a salary of $46,500 per episode, she amassed $418,000 annually, reaching her financial goals after just nine years in the industry since her first role in General Hospital. She swiftly catapulted to even greater fame.
Her relationship with Prince Harry, grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, began in 2016. Following their marriage in 2018, she stepped away from acting entirely, continuing to gain wealth and public recognition.
Markle fulfills her childhood vow
Currently boasting a net worth estimated around $60 million, Markle remains a frequent subject in the media, achieving peak popularity indicated by a perfect score of 100 on Google Trends in 2018.
A recent clip from her Netflix docuseries highlights her fulfilling a promise made during her childhood. She pledged to recognize Immaculate Heart Secondary School in Los Angeles when she became successful.
“When I become rich and famous and share my story, I will mention you and the school so that you will gain international recognition,” Markle reflected on a letter she penned at 11 during the documentary Harry & Meghan, released in 2022.
Even as a child, she showcased her flair for theater, performing in Oedipus Rex. Despite facing challenges, including strong envy related to her successful performance, she remained determined to pursue acting, as noted by author Tom Bower in his book Revenge.
