Sexy actress Teri Hatcher has an estimated net worth of $50 million. The one-time Lois Lane is a reigning queen bee on Wisteria Lane, where she pulls in an estimated $375,000 per episode for her role as Susan Mayer on ABC's Desperate Housewives. Off-camera, Hatcher is developing GetHatched.com with Disney which she calls "a chick's guide to life." In 2010 Hatcher made headlines for posting un-retouched, make-up free photos online to prove she has not had plastic surgery.

Teri Hatcher also holds the distinction of being the woman whose photographs were most frequently downloaded from the Internet in the late '90s. With her brunette hair, beautiful brown eyes, mischievous smile, and petite but curvaceous figure, it isn't difficult to imagine why. While Hatcher could probably thrive for years as a virtual pinup, there is more to her than drop-dead gorgeous looks. The daughter of a physicist and a computer programmer, she initially studied math and engineering at a San Francisco area community college before the acting bug bit. She later enrolled at the American Conservatory Theatre.

At age 20, she was a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers. Hatcher made her television debut in 1985, playing Amy, one of the singing/dancing Mermaids on the revived anthology series Love Boat. Shortly thereafter, she became a regular on the action-adventure series MacGyver and more guest-starring roles on other shows followed like Star Trek: The Next Generation, Teri Hatcher became a star with her role as Lois Lane on “Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman”. She is currently one of the stars of the popular show, “Desperate Housewives”, and has received numerous acting awards for her work on the program.

Hatcher was married to Marcus Leithold on 4 June 1988; they divorced the following year. On 27 May 1994, she married actor Jon Tenney; they had a daughter, Emerson Rose, on 10 November 1997, and divorced in March 2003. Hatcher dated Stephen Kay, who played Reginald, the Quartermaines' butler, on General Hospital.
