How much did Lori Loughlin make from acting?
Loughlin got her start in the entertainment business when she was just 11 years old, when she got her first job as a print model, and bit television parts followed. When she was 15 years old, she landed the role of Jody Travis on The Edge of Night, an ABC soap opera, where she stayed until 1983. Following her tenure on the soap, Loughlin had small roles in several movies, TV movies and television shows until 1988, when she became a household name as Rebecca “Aunt Becky” Donaldson (later Katsopolis) on Full House. The mega-success of the TGIF series likely increased her salary for her other television and film projects during her tenure on the show, which lasted until 1995. She reprised the Aunt Becky role on Fuller House from 2016 to 2018; she was written off the final season following her arrest. While it’s often assumed TV stars make big bucks off residuals from rerun royalties (say that five times fast!), her co-star Bob Saget said he’d made only about $2,000 per year from royalties—and that it was significantly more than his co-stars netted for the same. Following Full House, Loughlin starred alongside Tony Danza in Hudson Street, which lasted one season from 1995 to 1996. She continued guest appearances on TV throughout the 2000s, plus a two-season stint on Summerland from 2004-2005. In 2007, she had a starring role in the short-lived series In Case of Emergency. A year later, she starred in the first reboot of 90210 as Debbie Wilson, a role she kept until 2012. Loughlin’s career-reinvigorating role of Abigail on When Calls the Heart came in 2013, and she would go on to reprise the part for Hallmark in the series of the same name for five seasons. She was written off of the show in 2019 following the college admissions scandal. She had developed enough of a relationship with the Hallmark brand to also star in several Hallmark holiday movies, as well as The Garage Sale Mysteries series for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries from 2013 to 2019. Loughlin reprised her When Calls the Heart role in 2021 for the two-part When Hope Calls spinoff Christmas special. In her first movie role since the college admissions scandal, Loughlin will star in Fall Into Winter for the new Great American Family network headed by former Hallmark CEO Bill Abbott. The movie is expected to premiere in January.

Loughlin is credited as a producer, creator and writer for Summerland, as well as Hallmark film Every Christmas Has a Story.

She does not have any upcoming projects listed.
How much money did Lori Loughlin lose in the college admissions scandal?
Loughlin and Giannulli paid college admissions scandal mastermind Rick Singer $500,000 in bribes to get daughters Olivia Jade Giannulli and Bella Giannulli into the University of Southern California as crew recruits, despite neither girl ever rowing in high school. After initially pleading not guilty and claiming that they believed the payments were donations to the college, Loughlin and Giannulli eventually pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Loughlin was fined $150,000 and sentenced to two months in prison, 100 hours of community service and two years of supervised release; Giannulli was fined $250,000 and sentenced to five months behind bars, two years of supervised release and 250 community service hours. Loughlin began her two-month sentence in October 2020 and was released late that December. Giannulli began his term in November 2020 and was released on April 2, 2021 .
