How much money did Emmy Rossum make from Shameless?

Variety reported in August 2017 that Rossum made $350,000 per episode of Shameless. Playing the role of Fiona Gallagher, she made headlines in 2016 when it was revealed that her salary was much higher than that of her male co-star, William H. Macy.

According to Deadline, Emmy demanded a bigger paycheck as she had more screen presence and carried many of the show’s main storylines.

A few days later, Emmy also coupled up with her husband the 2019 Critics’ Choice Awards. Sam Esmail, an Egyptian-American screenwriter best known as the creator of the television series Mr. Robot, has a net worth estimated to be around $5 million.

Emmy’s double-ankle-strap Veronica heels are by Pour La Victoire. It actually took us quite a while to ID her shoes. In fact, we discovered the pair by accident.

The straps are made of two-tone leather, while the backstays are crafted from exotic water-snake skin. They’re available in several renditions — red multi, navy multi, beige multi, and black multi (as seen on Emmy).
