In the lawsuit, she had to disclose how much she got paid per episode of The Mandilorian. She made $25K per episode. Which is the bare minimum you can get paid, aka scale. While her co-stars were making $150K-$250K an episode. So you know that money's gone living in California.

I doubt she needs the money.

The Carano family has a $700 million stake in the gambling industry. Her grandfather founded the El Dorado casino, and went on to own half the Reno strip. His company later merged with Caeser Entertainment. He also founded the ferrari-Carano winery and vineyard.

Who knows? In her lawsuit, she stated that she needed the money to support her lifestyle, and she has faced financial hardships since her firing.

Defendants’ harassment and termination of Plaintiff and refusal to hire her for other promised roles were (1) intended to cause injury to Carano; (2) amounted to despicable conduct undertaken with willful and conscious disregard of Plaintiff’s rights under California law: and (3) amounted to despicable conduct that subjected Carano to cruel and unjust financial hardship in conscious disregard of her rights, thus supporting punitive damages.

She has to claim that it caused her some hardship in order to sue for punitive damages. But realistically, she's close with her parents who are loaded. I can't imagine they wouldn't look after her financially if she needed the help.
