Emily Wickershamβs Rise: From College Dropout to NCIS Star & Millionaire
Emily Wickersham, best known as Ellie Bishop on NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans, has built an impressive $6 million net worthβand fans are still calling for a spinoff. Born on April 26, 1984, Wickersham began her journey as an art student at Muhlenberg College, but left to chase her true passion: acting.
She started with minor roles before landing standout parts in I Am Number 4 and The Sopranos. In 2013, she joined NCIS, where she appeared in 173 episodes through 2021, earning about $100,000 per episode. Her long run on the show became the foundation for her financial success.
Off the screen, Wickershamβs life has been just as eventful. She married musician Blake Hanley in 2010, divorced in 2018, and welcomed a son, Cassius, with actor James Badge Dale in 2021. Today, she enjoys a lavish lifestyleβliving in a stunning $20 million Spanish-style villa in Los Felizβwhile balancing motherhood and her ongoing career.
