Kaley Cuoco Net Worth: Topless, Talks Weight Loss in New Interview; How Much Is ‘The Big Bang Theory’ Muse Worth? [HOT PHOTOS]

Kaley Cuoco's net worth soared following a big shift in her career with the CBS series "The Big Bang Theory," but she originally shot to fame with her role in "8 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter."

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kaley Cuoco's net worth is $45 million, with a per episode salary of $1 million. Her salary per episode in "The Big Bang Theory" started out with $325,000.

Playing the muse of a group of nerds in "The Big Bang Theory," Cuoco plays the role of Penny, a blonde bombshell who works in a cheesecake factory and is aspiring to become a famous actress. It appears her role in the show has inspired her to retain a fit body, and in a recent cover-story for "Shape" magazine, Cuoco posed topless and revealed how she attained and retained her stunning figure.

Cuoco admitted in the interview that she completely transformed her food intake in order to maintain her bombshell physique, according to The Inquisitr.

Appearing in a wide range of movies such as "Cougar Club," "Hop," "The Penthouse," "Debating Robert Lee" and "Killer Movie," to name a few, Kaley Cuoco admitted to "Shape" that she also tried a wide range of weight-loss techniques to figure out which is right for her figure.

"As I've gotten older, I've had to change my food intake," Cuoco said. "My husband, Ryan, eats so much. When we first got married, it was so much fun to eat like him. We got into this habit we called the bedtime snack. The drawers next to the bed were filled with candy. Eventually, I realized it was mindless eating. I was just doing it because he was doing it, and it was adding hundreds of calories I didn't even think about."

Kaley Cuoco's net worth started adding up as she also started working at a young age as a model and actress. At six, Cuoco appeared in the movie "Quicksand: No Escape." And it seems she has no escape and no choice but to take a hard stance on her diet in order to achieve her figure goal.

Cuoco said she completely cut out her candy consumption, and even changed all food inside her pantry and refrigerator. She started keeping off of consuming junk food.

"It took years for me to figure out what my body needs and that what works for my friends doesn't necessarily work for," she told "Shape." "Doing yoga five times a week has transformed my body. I love being toned and having muscle; it's so sexy and beautiful."

Kaley Cuoco's net worth grew, as she appeared in more and more films, and finally the series "The Big Bang Theory" in 2007. Films include "Virtuosity" with Denzel Washington, "10.5," "Debating Robert Lee," "The Crimes of Passion" and "Growing Up Brady." Kaley Cuoco's net worth also added up as she appeared in the TV sitcom "8 Simple Rules."

See the outcome of all of Kaley Cuoco's hard work:

"Shape's" October issue hits newsstands on September 15, while "The Big Bang Theory" Season 9 premieres Monday, September 21 at 8 p.m., reported The Daily Mail.
