As the star of New Girl Zooey Deschanel was, at one point, making $95,000 per episode, however, all because she was making more per episode than most Americans make in a year, that doesn’t mean she was spending it recklessly. It might shock some people, but at the peak of New Girl’s run, the show’s star was still living in a very modest home.

Zooey Deschanel lived in a quaint Hollywood Hills property that set her back $1.69 million – which, for the area, is quite inexpensive – until 2015, when she and, her now ex-husband, Jacob Pechenik moved into a larger $5.58 million wooden furnished home with their 2 children.
