Emma Kenney: Net Worth, Age, Height & Everything You Need To Know About The Shameless Actress

Summary Emma Kenney's net worth is $4 million, earned from starring roles in Shameless, Roseanne, and The Conners.

At 24 years old, Kenney is a Virgo born in 1999, displaying diligence and emotional stability in her career.

Kenney's film career began early, with her short film being a finalist at a film festival at just 9 years old.

Emma Kenney, one of the stars of Shameless, is only in the early stages of her career, but her successes in notable TV shows have led many to wonder about her net worth, age, and what else might be of interest about the burgeoning star. Best known as Debbie Gallagher, one of the best Shameless characters, Kenney starred in the series from 2011 to 2021. Fans watched the character grow up from a precocious young 10-year-old to a more mature (and conniving) young adult in her 20s.

Shameless was one of Kenney's first roles, and she didn't add many more credits to her filmography throughout her first seasons on the show. However, that all changed in 2018 when she appeared in the rebooted season 10 of Roseanne as Harris Conner-Healy. This role led right into a starring part in the 2018 spinoff The Conners, cementing Harris as a part of the Conners' family tree as Darlene's (Sara Gilbert) daughter. With these two major roles under her belt at such a young age, it's clear that Kenney's career is just beginning.

Close

A starring cast member in two popular TV series, Emma Kenney already has a significant net worth, $4 million, (via Celebrity Net Worth). While there is not much information regarding how much money Kenney has made from each of her roles, it's important to note that Kenney joined the cast of Shameless when she was only 10 years old.

As she was under 18 for most of her time on the series, it's likely her parents were careful about publicly divulging how much their daughter was making. Between 11 seasons on Shameless, one on Roseanne, six on The Conners, and a handful of smaller roles, including in the movies Robert the Bruce as Briana and Murder at Yellowstone City as Rebecca, Kenney has amassed herself a significant fortune.

The Conners premiered the same year as Roseanne and was the network's solution to Roseanne Barr's removal from the show.

Emma Kenney Age & Height

Kenney Is A Virgo, Born In The Year Of The Rabbit

Emma Kenney was born on September 14, 1999, making her 24 years old. She's listed as 5' 7" on IMDb, which appears to be the consensus on multiple sites. While camera angles can always make actors either appear shorter or taller, Debbie did always appear a little on the taller side, though that could have been an effect of the force of her personality.

Kenney's zodiac sign is a Virgo, and this sign is often defined by emotional stability, persistence, diligence and excellence in work. This all fits nicely with Kenney's life so far. As a young actor, she absolutely needs to be a diligent worker with emotional stability beyond her years to be in the public eye. Her Shameless character Debbie also had to grow up fast, and Kenney likely channeled her Virgo traits into her performance.

Kenney's Short Film Played At The New Jersey International Film Festival At Rutgers University

Kenney has been involved with film and TV making even before she was being cast in Shameless and Roseanne. In 2009, nine-year-old Emma Kenney's four-minute short film, The New Girl in Town, was selected as a finalist for the New Jersey International Film Festival at Rutgers University in New Brunswick. Her film, a horror comedy about four girls at a sleepover who discover one of their friends is a vampire and must scare her away with a garlic potato chip, was filmed and written by Kenney and she also worked on post-production with her mother.

About the film, Kenney said (via NJ),

"I tried to make it as scary as I could, but it ended up being really funny."

With her current net worth, Emma Kenney could fund a reboot of her project if she wanted. It may be time to bring back the potato-chip-wielding vampire hunters.
