As many may remember, Full House star Lori Loughlin was caught in a major scandal back in 2019. It involved a $500,000 bribe scheme that would guarantee her 2 daughters enrollment at the University of Southern California with rigged test scores and fake athlete credentials.She was sentenced to 2 months in prison and ordered to pay $150,000 fine as well as 100 hours of community service. However, after 3 years, fans are wondering if the conviction has taken a toll on Loughlin's net worth.
Lori Loughlin As Aunt Becky In The Early Years
At the height of her career, from 1988 to 1995, she played Aunt Becky on the American sitcom Full House. According to an article posted by Parade, it's reported that this, along with an accumulation of smaller acting roles throughout the years, have made her net worth an estimated $8 million in 2019.
Although she has never been able to reach the same level of success as she had when Full House was still airing new episodes, and even with her reprising her role as Aunt Becky in the Fuller House spin off show that takes place 30 years later.
It's also been reported that she's worth anywhere between $70 million to $88 million when her husband's net worth is also taken into account.

Lori Loughlin took her conviction in stride as she received her sentencing during the summer of 2020. In an article posted by People Magazine, she's quoted explaining to the judge about her reasoning and her love for her daughters.
She's quoted saying, "I made an awful decision. I went along with a plan to give my daughters an unfair advantage in the college admissions process. In doing so, I ignored my intuition and allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass. I thought I was acting out of love for my children. But in reality, it only undermined and diminished my daughters’ abilities and accomplishments. More broadly and more importantly, I now understand that my decision helped exacerbate existing inequalities in society, generally, and the higher education system, more specifically.”
She continues saying, "More broadly and more importantly, I now understand that my decision helped exacerbate existing inequalities in society, generally, and the higher education system, more specifically. That realization weighs heavily on me and while I wish I could go back and do things differently, I can only take responsibility and move forward. I have great faith in God and I believe in redemption. And I will do everything in my power to redeem myself and use this experience as a catalyst to do good and give back for the rest of my life."
“Your Honor, I’m truly, deeply and profoundly sorry, and I’m ready to accept the consequences and make amends,” she concluded. “Thank you for your time.”
Lori Loughlin's Current Net Worth As Of 2022
With the college scandal looming over her reputation and the hefty legal fees she's had to pay as a result of her guilty conviction, it's easy for one to imagine that this has taken a toll on her wallet.
Not to mention, it will also undoubtedly affect any potential future earnings. Critics are already not happy with how quickly she returned to acting after her jail sentence, as fans are speculating whether or not she plans on making a return to The Hallmark Channel.
Unfortunately, exactly how much this will affect the actress has yet to be determined. According to most major celebrity news outlets, her net worth is still set on $70 million, however, this is only because it's been estimated in combination with her husband's net worth.
It's unclear whether this was an intentional ploy by her PR team to try and keep her true net worth a secret since the scandal, however, it is clear that only time will tell if she'll be readily accepted by Hollywood again if and when she decides to make a comeback.
