Most women are vulnerable after a divorce (that's why I camp outside courthouses with a flask of Jack Daniels), but Zooey Deschanel is more exposed than others. Not only is she going through a painful divorce, but her stupid lawyer attached Zooey's income/expense declaration when filing to divorce from Ben Gibbard, the lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie. This means that a celebrity's finances are displayed for the world to see! (Prepare to be depressed over your own financial situation.)
Zooey makes $95,000 a month from "New Girl" and other projects.
Her expenses average $22,550 a month
She has 3 credit cards (American Express, Visa and Mastercard) all of which have a 0 balance.
She has $1,578,000 cash in the bank.
Zooey has an additional $1,645,000 in stocks, bonds, etc.
She has real and personal property valued at $693,300
As for expenses....
She spends $1,000 on groceries and household supplies
$500 eating out
$800 on utilities
$300 for her various phones and email accounts,
$600 in laundry and cleaning,
$2,000 for clothes.
$1,500 a month to charity.
On the bright side, a famous actress has less than $2 million cash? That adjusts my world view. I always assumed that if you were famous enough to be in movies and television, you were a multimillionaire. Now I know that most are just poor. And spend $600 a month on laundry.
