Nina left The Vampire Diaries after Season 6. Fans were devastated. But she had a plan. She wanted movie roles and bigger paychecks.
Guess what? Her exit forced her co-stars to get raises. Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley renegotiated after she left. She indirectly made them richer. What a queen.
But here’s the funny part: Nina made less in her final season than she could have. She took a slight pay cut to let the show afford better special effects. She chose monster fights over her own bank account. We stan a team player.
What Does She Do With All That Cash?
She buys houses. No, really. Nina owns a stunning mansion in Los Angeles worth over $5 million. It has a pool, a gym, and a secret garden. Probably no vampires, though.
She also invests in real estate and charity. She’s donated to animal shelters, children’s hospitals, and environmental causes. So her vampire money saves real lives. Warm fuzzies.
And yes, she’s been spotted flying first class on private jets. But she still buys $5 face masks at the drugstore. She’s rich, but she’s relatable. Kind of.
