How Much Money Did Cote De Pablo Actually Make From NCIS?

Ziva David is treated by fans as one of the core, original members of "NCIS," despite showing up in Season 3. With the character and her relationships with the rest of the crew so integral to the heart of the show, it's expected that CBS must have given Cote de Pablo a healthy chunk of change throughout her 150+ episodes as the character.

The actor reportedly began negotiations for a pay bump after Season 9 of the CBS series wrapped up. Deadline reported in 2011 that de Pablo managed to score an impressive raise, wracking up a fee of $120,000 per episode. It's unclear how much de Pablo was making prior to her raise, but the outlet described her pay bump as "significant". According to Celebrity Net Worth, de Pablo's net worth is reportedly around $6 million, a number that was likely padded out due to her "NCIS" salary.

Since retiring from "NCIS," de Pablo has gone on to star in Antonio Banderas's "The 33," which follows the events of the 2010 mining disaster in Chile, and the CBS miniseries "The Dovekeepers," an adaptation of the book of the same name.

While the star hasn't appeared in "NCIS" in years, fans can't help but wonder if de Pablo and the creative team at CBS have another surprise appearance up their sleeves.
