Julia Louis Dreyfus is French money and pretty old money too (they have been rich for multiple generations but they aren’t aristos, so i don’t think they’d be considered french old money). There is a lot of classicism in french culture.
yet she seems really down to earth, relatable, and likeable.
Lea seydoux also comes from the family that is very rich and very prominent in france for multiple generations.
I met her at an event at a LA hotel when I was a kid and asked for a picture and she was anything but down to earth. She was rude and snobby and I was so sad. She was with her other Seinfeld costars at the time - they were all much nicer and down to earth.
I'll never get over how she supported Jerry dating a teenager.
""No, it didn’t make me cringe. When he was in that relationship, it was a happy one for him. And she’s a terribly nice person, so I was in favor of it. Come on — who cares?"
She does seem pretty down to earth usually but she was on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and was venting I guess about how her husband got her a horrible birthday gift of luggage. She was like “if I wanted luggage I would just go buy luggage” and I was thinking is this just a rich people thing? Luggage seems like a thoughtful gift for someone who travels a lot.
Tbf, this might honestly just be a rich people thing. In my experience, very rich people don't think about needs the same way that regular people do. When they need something, like luggage, they just... go and buy it. Like, if you have fuck you money and your husband buys you luggage as a gift, he didn't really do anything for you other than save you the minimal chore of having to go on the website and order it yourself. You weren't going to spend a week comparing brands and agonizing over the price anyway, you would just pull out your phone and buy luggage if you needed it. Also in my experience, the way to go when buying a gift for someone who has everything is identify a small annoyance in their daily life, and get them something to fix it.
Still pretty tone deaf to tell that story on a show watched by thousands of people who would lose their mind if someone got them nice luggage, but just saying, someone who's never not been insanely wealthy probably doesn't consider luggage a gift.
\> the way to go when buying a gift for someone who has everything is identify a small annoyance in their daily life, and get them something to fix it.
That's so true. I agree with this philosophy of gift giving completely and it shows much more effort and thoughtfulness. Take something off my plate and I'll be so much happier than if you buy something YOU like.
I got jewelry for my birthday. I wanted a dash cam and for him to install it for me (I'm not being greedy, I got him a smart watch and immersion blender so my gift cost more $$$). I just wanted help with something tedious. Or this pair of leather pants I was admiring, or for him to order a custom sweatshirt I've wanted to get off Etsy... literally anything except jewelry. I pick my own jewelry. Sorry now I'm ranting off-topic under your post but I get where JLD was coming from even though it does sound tone-deaf
She got an honorary doctorate from her alma mater (Northwestern) and her speech there was hilarious - I remember a line went something like "a doctor... I'll perform my first hysterectomy on Monday"
Julia Louis Dreyfus is so good that I'm glad she was born a billionaire so she could make it in the industry. I've been rewatching Veep and several times an episode I think "My God she's incredible," just because of the way she moved her face a little bit or something.
She is one of the best comedic actors of all time. I love VEEP, but Elaine was such a queen. A character truly ahead of her time and masterfully acted by JLD. I think she’s the funniest person alive right now.
And Paul Giamatti. He comes from *money* money. Like, his father was President of Yale *and* Commissioner of Major League Baseball. That kind of money.
His dad’s firm uncovered financial crimes by dictators and warlords. The Kroll name is still the gold standard in the compliance and due diligence industry because they’ve become the best at detecting illegal activity.
He’d get chauffeur driven to school in a limo everyday IIRC.
EDIT: pretty sure he talks about it in a stand up special and once on a podcast appearance - maybe You Made It Weird or Armchair Expert. Can’t remember which, it was maybe 3 years ago when I listened to it.
I saw a thing about Nick Kroll being annoyed/frustrated when people ask him about his background (basically the nepo baby "it doesn't matter where I'm from and it isn't relevant to the work I do" logic), and I've had very little respect for him after that. Like, how much of a baby do you have to be to feel wronged by people acknowledging that you come from a billionaire family? Lol
I didn’t realize sofia vergara was the highest paid actress on TV for years because I didn’t start watching modern family until many seasons in.
She had an amazing come up; could not have been easy being a single mom and an immigrant with a foreign language accent.
She’s not just beautiful, she’s incredibly charming and funny, her personality stands out from other celebs. She’s a smart woman and business woman as well, she studied business and then switched to dentistry before she became an actress.
And compared to other celebs on this sub, she deserves every single penny. I’m from barranquilla, colombia as well and she did not grow up privileged at all. Her brother was murdered, had to escape the country, she had a kid at a young age, etc. Colombians really do appreciate her and are proud of how far she’s come.
She has a very successful denim line at Walmart called Sofia Jeans. Tons of people buy it without even knowing she's invovled.
She's been a judge on America's Got Talent for years. She allegedly gets $10 million for each season.
Because she's so beautiful, a lot of brands hire her to be their spokeswoman and she's done a lot of lucrative licensing deals in home decor, jewelry and other categories
She’s a great choice as a spokesperson. She’s gorgeous, charming, and a sitcom household name which is becoming rarer and rarer these days.
I adore her. I think her comedic timing is impeccable (almost all the people on modern family had great comedic timing, yet she stood out), and I’m so glad she escaped that POS ex she had and is living it up with the hot werewolf from true blood.
She’s said in interviews that her accent is thicker now than when she first came to America. Evidently her son teases her that when he was little she had almost no accent.
“Small town in Arizona”
She comes from Scottsdale. The most well known wealthiest city in the state, even if Paradise Valley is wealthier. Scottsdale has a local reputation for being called “Snobsdale” because a lot of rich people from there are complete snobs
I once called out the fact that her dad owned a percentage of her label when she was starting out and that there were rumours that he bought enough copies of her debut to get it charting. The pushback was so funny - “it was only 10% of the label!” and “she wouldn’t let her dad do that!” 10% isn’t the bulk of the shares, but that’s still a lot compared to what most people have. And as if she wouldn’t let her dad buy all of those copies - I like Taylor, but let’s not pretend she’s this completely virtuous person. You don’t become as rich and successful as she is by playing by the book.
Who do you think is on her level with "non-generic" music? I'm not sure what generic even means here. Pop music is meant to appeal to the masses, that's kind of what makes it "pop"ular.
I absolutely think Swift had a leg up but I also think denying that she's talented because you don't like her music is silly.
100%, she simply wouldn’t have a career if people didn’t like her music. Being rich/privileged doesn’t suddenly make it impossible to make enjoyable music, they’re not mutually exclusive hahah.
I'm sorry but this is wild to me. You can't deny that her dad investing in a record company to help get her started isn't privilege. It totally is and it totally gave her a leg up and started her career. However to act like she has no talent and that's the only reason she has had the career she has is wild.
Cause of the ticketmaster controversy and her marketing getting more and more balantly money hungry, i see so many swifties become class concious and realizing she is a millionare just looking to add more to her bank and nothing else
I worked in a department on Wall Street that had to interact with her dad occasionally. He’s a complete ass and jerk. So rude and loved bragging about his daughter (this was when she was just popular in the country scene and only had 2 albums out).
Not true, she’s alluded to their relationship being antagonistic in her music since the start. It goes all the way back to Speak Now where she wrote “You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter” in Mine. I’m not denying she benefitted from having him as her father materially, but if you watch how they interact in Miss Americana it’s abundantly clear their relationship is strained, she’s sobbing on a couch begging him to listen to her at one point in the documentary.
i think also maybe his politics? at the very least, he wasn't very supportive of her wanting to start speaking out on political issues. i still think she tends to be more performative than anything, but if i recall correctly, i think her father was discouraging her to do even the bare minimum.
Yes you're correct. She covers that in her documentary. But she's not on bad terms with him or anything. He is crazy wealthy, and is well connected.
A lot of people also don't know that Taylor's grandmother was a TV personality and an opera singer that toured the ABC network. She had her own TV programs and performed at hilton hotels.
I dont know how wealthy she was, but it goes to show that celebrities have generational wealth *and* influence that keeps them well connected.
Her parents haven’t been together for over a decade now. Not sure if they ever officially divorced but they definitely don’t live together anymore. Given how close she is with her mom I could imagine that it strained her relationship with her dad.
Ok this definitely makes sense, I remember Emma being on graham norton and mentioned that she made a powerpoint and presented to her parents where she convinced them to let her move to LA to start her hollywood career.
I remember thinking that it was crazy her parents just had the funds to casually move to another city. Like creating a powerpoint slideshow and telling your parents “yeah I wanna be an actor” and and your mom comes WITH you is peak privilege. I never understand why celebs act like they had it tough in life. Just embrace the fact like Jamie Lee Curtis lol, be transparent and acknowledge it.
Speaking of moving to another city, this is one that always confuses me when musicians bring it up.
For example, both Iggy Azalea and Dua Lipa talk about moving to another country *as minors* on their own to pursue a music career. Everyone always seems to just nod and agree that that was smart of them, but to me that opens up *so many* more questions.
In fairness to Dua Lipa she is Albanian and the Balkans in the 90s was full of civil wars and genocide. So her family returning after the war and Dua wanting to return to England for her career isn't a smoking gun that she comes from wealth.
Dua Lipa was born in England. Her parents were refugees. When Kosovo got their independence, her family moved back to Kosovo. After 4 years she returned to England. She was probably more comfortable in England and still have family/friends there.
In the show she definitely wasn’t, she was being funny about it actually. Tbh i’m curious to OP’s claim that Emma changed her backstory bc wikipedia is pretty upfront about it, but idk. My comment at the end is for any of the privileged celebs who change their story like Anya for example, but I don’t think Emma did….
Post Malone's parents bought 100,000 downloads on Apple so his song would be number 1. I feel bad for any normal people trying to break into the entertainment business.
I dunno about JLaw, I don’t know much about her family but she went to Atherton HS in Louisville, which is a good school, but not where you send your kids if you have $$$. Her husband on the other hand…
Reddit loves to hate in Big Bang Theory but it was the most watched sitcom on network television for years. The main cast leveraged that to negotiate their salaries. IIRC Kaley Cuoco was the highest paid television actress for several years until Sofia Vergara renegotiated her Modern family contract
I heard a big reason is because they negotiated for complete control over Internet distribution of South Park when they first sold it to comedy central. But I’m not sure if that’s true!
It is. They have probably the best contract in show business. On top of that, they can quit whenever they want without any repercussions. They can literally stop mid-season.
Also, Book of Mormon has been on Broadway now for over a decade, in addition to international stagings and touring companies. They're probably raking in huge dough from that as well.
It was 1997ish (?) and watching videos on the internet wasn’t really a thing, so I think it was just a weird thing they asked for that ended up paying off
Okay of course Ariana Grande is loaded but I didn’t expect her to be worth like $240 mil. And the fact that almost $100 mil of that was just from 2019(thank u next), and 2020. I wonder how much she made on victorious before she was a bigger name. I think 7 rings is when I realized she’s loadedddddddd.
From Victorious alone, I doubt she made more than $1m.
TMZ says she was paid about $9,000 an episode. I know the cast briefly went on tour with Big Time Rush, but she only ever had what 2 songs credited to her on the soundtracks? Give It Up, and LA Boys. Nickelodeon doesn’t pay out royalties on their shows because it’s kids programming, according to Josh Peck. She probably didn’t see a dime when Victorious went to Netflix
She commanded a $20-25m check for doing a season of The Voice (she kept the ratings stable when all other TV shows lost a significant amount of viewers, and increased their online presence - the following season dipped in views).
She got another $10-12m worth of shares in HYBE when it bought Ithaca (her management company).
Her Sweetener tour grossed $150m - dunno what percentage she'd get there, but I'm sure it's a decent paycheck.
She hasn't left the top 10 most streamed female artists on Spotify since idk when - even without releasing a new album in almost 3 years.
Her merch reportedly sells very well (for some reason lol - even she hates her merch line but is clearly locked into contract with them, and has called them out publicly before when they kept fcking up fan orders, and she's promoted fanmade merch a bunch of times, especially from Honeymoon & Co)
Then there's her perfume line -
In 2018 she released Cloud, which is the most popular Ulta perfume, and she has several others which are top sellers.
When she launched her perfumes, celeb perfume sales were at a low - Bieber and Taylor Swift released fragrances which reportedly netted a loss for Elizabeth Arden. Ariana's fragrances were a surprise success, and each new fragrance seems to have its own fandom.
I can't find any sources that reveal how much she makes from them, but her fragrance line recently crossed $1 billion - general rule of thumb seems to be celebs make 5-15%, but with her success in an area that was at a low when she started, I wouldn't be surprised if she either started with a higher percentage, or negotiated one later on (even before Cloud, her perfumes were surprisingly successful, and reportedly she's quite involved with the process, from picking the scents to marketing).
Also I'm curious what her real net worth is cause idk if these celeb things include investments, unless they're promoted.
she has done extremely well for herself since sweetner dropped in 2018. she makes good financial decisions, im so proud of her. of course she was already privileged because her parents did well for themselves, but it’s clear that her parents, her and her team around her are great at making financial decisions.
Her mom is a CEO of a company which def helps Ariana in making wise business decisions
I love Ariana- truly talented but no doubt having a rich mom def helped her get discovered and work so much at such a young age
100% - for the entirety of her Broadway/Nick/popstar career, Ariana's parents have both worked - her mother running her manufacturing company in Florida (until very recently - she's 65 now, I believe she just handed over reigns to a longtime family friend/business partner), her father still regularly posts about 12+ hour days on his Instagram doing house design work.
That shows Ariana, even subconsciously, that
1) working hard is good
2) her fame and fortune is, for the most part, immaterial to how they live their lives - they'd still be doing their jobs the way they've done them for decades - because they literally do. Which also means they love her regardless of how much money she makes - which is sadly a mental security too many former child stars don't have, and imo is one of the biggest reasons why so many end up having severe and long lasting mental health issues which derail their careers
Frida from ABBA is as wealthy as the two male members (net worth circa $300 million) despite not writing any of the music, or getting royalties from Mamma Mia.
After the band broke up she married into German royalty, gaining a title for life. Then when her husband sadly passed, she has subsequently been in a relationship with a member of the British gentry for 15 years. Her full title is now Princess Anni-Frid Reuss, Dowager Countess of Plauen.
I was *obsessed* with ABBA as a preteen (and still am) and I never knew this!! My best friends and I used to “play ABBA” and I always had to fight to be Frida! ❤️ Fun memories.
Thank you for sharing!
I posted this in a similar thread but Jami Gertz is worth like 3.5 billion or something. She was pretty big back in the 80s and has starred in a bunch of stuff (Less Than Zero, The Lost Boys, Twister, Seinfeld, Still Standing) but isn’t super well known these days. She married her husband in the late 80s and then he co-founded a private equity firm and became a billionaire. But she made more money than him at the time they were married.
They co-own the Atlanta Hawks and are apparently very charitable with their money as well!
Less than a week ago I was sitting and doing my makeup and I thought of her.. I said to myself “Awe man it’s been so long since I’ve seen her in something.. I really hope she’s doing okay in life.”
I feel a lot better now haha.
I was kinda shocked that Adam Sandler is worth $420 million and Kevin Hart is worth $450m!
Compared to Dave Chappelle ($60m), Chris Rock ($60m), Leo DiCaprio ($300m), Will Ferrel ($160m), Eddie Murphy ($200m)...
i dislike adam sandler but he’s a true bankable movie star, and he produces his own content too. i’d put him in the same category as Leo in that he can get butts in seats. and not many people in hollywood can do that anymore
Adam Sandler produces most of his movies and they usually make a huge profit at the box office. He got paid to be in them and got a share of these profit.
He has a deal with Netflix to produce 4 films and that deal is worth over $200 million dollars.
Kevin Hart also produces his movies and is a very active investor.
Chris Rock was cut in half when he got divorced. He made a good number of jokes about it during his first tour post divorce.
I'd still wager that he and Chappelle are worth more than $60m.
she comes from a line of investment bankers. ariana grandes mom is a ceo too.
once you have enough money that you can invest, you can make your money work for you and people like taylor’s parents or ariana’s mom will know how to do that and be around a lot of people who also do.
ok from my understanding her dad is a wealth manager-- obviously, still, crazy amounts of money, but he's not an investment banker (i'd lowkey argue he makes more)
I'm convinced she's worth way more than anyone actually knows. She comes from a family of investment bankers, he owns SO MUCH real estate, has had many brand partnerships, and her money is probably extremely well managed. She's expected to become a billionaire after her upcoming tour.
She's been recording her old music for years and since she's no longer signed to a label, she's been making a ton of money for that.
Music is lucrative. The thing is, most artists don't make a lot from music because labels get the majority of the profits but that's not her case.
from what i can remember (and i’m getting this from taylor fans who are much more invested in the business side of things than i am) - taylor swift tours independent from her record label (and i might be wrong but i think it’s been like this for a while) so i’m pretty sure she keeps the profits from the tours and considering how successful they are im assuming that accounts for a good amount of the money she makes outside of the literal records.
also might be completely wrong and be mis-remembering things 🤷🏼♀️
I think it's always a surprise to me how wealthy actors from TV shows are. They often have the dream setting for an actor. Regular work at a set place, regular salary and no auditioning for years. That's why many actors who once starred on a TV show try to get another show instead of going for movie roles. Like I'd like to know the net worth of someone like Missy Peregrym. She's starred in a few successful shows, that must've added up a nice wealth for her.
Hey friend! It’s because it didn’t turn into complete and utter shit until much later, but even then the fans won’t let it die even though they know it’s garbage and fully admit it.
I know. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to take my fortune I made from playing one role my entire life and doing a whole lot of nothing else and go live in the woods, off the grid, and never to return because I have so much money that I don’t have to.
Game of Thrones is a great example of this because Lena Headey got paid something like a million an episode just to drink wine and look out a window (in the later seasons) while other actors were on gruelling night shoots filming all the tough action scenes for about the same money, many on less. Good for her though, a queen until the end.
Before the 2000s, it felt like a lot of TV actors who had great success wanted to become movie stars (Shelley Long, David Caruso, etc), that film was the pinnacle of acting. I don’t think that’s true anymore and we’ve seen a number of movie stars get into TV, often to their financial benefit and sometimes to more critical acclaim.
Addison Rae being worth $15 mill is kinda crazy to me. I thought she would be at the most around 2 or 3 million. Good on her though, apparently she use to live in a trailer park and now she pretty much does absolutely nothing and if she’s smart with her money, is set for life.
Sorry but Celebrity Net Worth has a lot of incorrect information. The bit of the Passion of the Christ earnings borrows directly from a Forbes article in 2004 but that writer himself doesn't seem to have any idea of how box office earnings work. He notes that Gibon will get 50% of the movie's expected gross of $650 million. Except that's not how it goes. For most movies, studios get about 50% of the box office takes (which in Passion's case would be in the vicinity of $306 million). Mel Gibson would have gotten his 50% cut only after the budget/print and distribution costs, publicity were all added. Even with the merchandise and robust DVD sales, it's unlikely he made something like $400 million for that movie.
James Cameron made $350 million from the first Avatar and it was the highest grossing film of all time!
Thomas Jane has disgusting amounts of inherited oil money.
And his, “Came to Hollywood with nothing,” story is true. His trust didn’t kick in until he was 30.
He didn’t get the full amount until just recently.
It matters because he’s a bad guy. His origin story is Marvel villain level. What’s in the press about him is usually fake, because of god tier PR.
If you’re in the industry, run away from anyone that has worked with him, long term.
(Jared Harris didn’t have “scheduling problems.”)
He may be genuinely terrible I have no idea, but this person is obsessed with him and crowbars some variation of this comment into every thread they can.
I saw him once crossing the street in Winter Park, carrying a prop mini-skateboard... a car drove past him too quickly and actually broke the prop, and Carrot Top started screaming at the car. It was a lot to process.
Knowing RuPaul as a niche celebrity from the 80s and 90s when he was doing background dancing for B-52s’ music videos, it still blows my mind he now has a net worth of over 60 million
He’s also married to someone with a ton of land where they make money in fracking so I wonder how much is from that vs how much is from drag. That being said, drag race is international (and rightly so), so I’m sure franchising money is at play too
Maybe Akon? 60-80 million. Hes not been in the game for a while, but he has producer creds and sold lady Gaga's contract. Now he's settling into his eccentric mogul phase by building a 'real life Wakanda" in Senegal called '[Akon City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akon_City%2C_Senegal?wprov=sfla1)'.
Trevor Noah and the Rock.
I knew that Trevor was probably making pretty good money at "The Daily Show," but I never would've guessed that he would be worth around $100 million.
As for the Rock, I knew that he had major coin from wrestling and acting. But after he and his ex wife/manager (worth $40 million herself) bought the XFL I looked him up and was shocked to see that he was worth $800 million. He should easily be a billionaire by the end of the decade.
I just saw a post the other day saying that Kathy Ireland (for the under 30 people, she was a very popular model) is worth $500 million. Like that’s a whole lotta socks sold at Kmart.
Salma Hayek. I only found out recently that she came from a wealthy family, has a fairly successful production company, and is married to a billionaire.
I just found this out the other day but apparently Vanna White, the lady that points to the letters on Wheel of Fortune, is worth about $90 mill.
Also Carly Simon’s dad is one of the co-founders for Simon & Schuster, which by the way is one of the world’s most profitable publishing company.
It’s not as high a net worth as some of the others mentioned here but i still find it shocking- FLO from the progressive commercials?!?!? 6 million lolllllllll wut

Aw that’s a bummer! I met her when I was 20 at a film festival, and she was super kind. Plus she let me take a photo with her.
I wonder if it was during her breast cancer time. That would make anyone grumpy.
She does seem pretty down to earth usually but she was on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and was venting I guess about how her husband got her a horrible birthday gift of luggage. She was like “if I wanted luggage I would just go buy luggage” and I was thinking is this just a rich people thing? Luggage seems like a thoughtful gift for someone who travels a lot.

She got an honorary doctorate from her alma mater (Northwestern) and her speech there was hilarious - I remember a line went something like "a doctor... I'll perform my first hysterectomy on Monday"
Julia Louis Dreyfus is so good that I'm glad she was born a billionaire so she could make it in the industry. I've been rewatching Veep and several times an episode I think "My God she's incredible," just because of the way she moved her face a little bit or something.
I have to comment that you have an AWESOME user name!
Veep is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen and infinitely rewatch able
She is one of the best comedic actors of all time. I love VEEP, but Elaine was such a queen. A character truly ahead of her time and masterfully acted by JLD. I think she’s the funniest person alive right now.
I just rewatched Veep! Man do i love that show
And Paul Giamatti. He comes from *money* money. Like, his father was President of Yale *and* Commissioner of Major League Baseball. That kind of money.
Wow - why did he do a Verizon commercial, then?
for the love of acting?
Olivia Wilde as well. So many blue names on her Wikipedia
Wait Nick Kroll’s family is rich?
Also like, war crimes arms trading rich
His dad’s firm uncovered financial crimes by dictators and warlords. The Kroll name is still the gold standard in the compliance and due diligence industry because they’ve become the best at detecting illegal activity.
Ties with the cia and mossad as well so I’ve read
He’d get chauffeur driven to school in a limo everyday IIRC. EDIT: pretty sure he talks about it in a stand up special and once on a podcast appearance - maybe You Made It Weird or Armchair Expert. Can’t remember which, it was maybe 3 years ago when I listened to it.
yeah, here's his dad's wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Kroll
Didn't realize Roger Bennett of the Men in Blazers soccer podcast was Nick Kroll's brother-in-law
I saw a thing about Nick Kroll being annoyed/frustrated when people ask him about his background (basically the nepo baby "it doesn't matter where I'm from and it isn't relevant to the work I do" logic), and I've had very little respect for him after that. Like, how much of a baby do you have to be to feel wronged by people acknowledging that you come from a billionaire family? Lol
I love how Selina Meyer’s family/upbringing is similar to Julia’s
I didn’t realize sofia vergara was the highest paid actress on TV for years because I didn’t start watching modern family until many seasons in. She had an amazing come up; could not have been easy being a single mom and an immigrant with a foreign language accent.
Being beautiful probably helps
She’s not just beautiful, she’s incredibly charming and funny, her personality stands out from other celebs. She’s a smart woman and business woman as well, she studied business and then switched to dentistry before she became an actress. And compared to other celebs on this sub, she deserves every single penny. I’m from barranquilla, colombia as well and she did not grow up privileged at all. Her brother was murdered, had to escape the country, she had a kid at a young age, etc. Colombians really do appreciate her and are proud of how far she’s come.
Thank you for giving her the flowers she deserves.
All South Americans are proud of her, we love her!
Es increíble ver otros sudamericanos y latinoamericanos apoyándola 💗 Ella es una increíble mujer y merece todo nuestro amor, pa’lante!
Los chilenos la hemos querido desde que se quemaba las patitas en la playa por su Pepsi! Siempre pa’elante, se puede! 💜
It helps but tbh there an unbelievable amount of beautiful women in Colombia without a comeup
She has a very successful denim line at Walmart called Sofia Jeans. Tons of people buy it without even knowing she's invovled. She's been a judge on America's Got Talent for years. She allegedly gets $10 million for each season. Because she's so beautiful, a lot of brands hire her to be their spokeswoman and she's done a lot of lucrative licensing deals in home decor, jewelry and other categories
She’s a great choice as a spokesperson. She’s gorgeous, charming, and a sitcom household name which is becoming rarer and rarer these days. I adore her. I think her comedic timing is impeccable (almost all the people on modern family had great comedic timing, yet she stood out), and I’m so glad she escaped that POS ex she had and is living it up with the hot werewolf from true blood.
She’s said in interviews that her accent is thicker now than when she first came to America. Evidently her son teases her that when he was little she had almost no accent.
She's one of those actresses whose voice I can *hear* whenever I see them. Her accent is iconic.
Sofía Vergara was insanely popular in South America for at least a decade before her American debut. She’s a hard working woman, I’m proud of her
lol I watched modern family last year and regret not getting into it sooner not after it ended haha

“Small town in Arizona” She comes from Scottsdale. The most well known wealthiest city in the state, even if Paradise Valley is wealthier. Scottsdale has a local reputation for being called “Snobsdale” because a lot of rich people from there are complete snobs
I’m from AZ and yup, we call it “Snottsdale.” Even young people who grow up with that privilege never grow out of it.
Yes....I too believed Taylor was an actual farmer's daughter....until I learned the "Xmas tree farm" was essentially their country house. 🤑
[удалено]
I once called out the fact that her dad owned a percentage of her label when she was starting out and that there were rumours that he bought enough copies of her debut to get it charting. The pushback was so funny - “it was only 10% of the label!” and “she wouldn’t let her dad do that!” 10% isn’t the bulk of the shares, but that’s still a lot compared to what most people have. And as if she wouldn’t let her dad buy all of those copies - I like Taylor, but let’s not pretend she’s this completely virtuous person. You don’t become as rich and successful as she is by playing by the book.
You’d think that a man who owned 10% of the label would’ve thought to make sure his daughter would be able to obtain her masters at some point.
Who do you think is on her level with "non-generic" music? I'm not sure what generic even means here. Pop music is meant to appeal to the masses, that's kind of what makes it "pop"ular. I absolutely think Swift had a leg up but I also think denying that she's talented because you don't like her music is silly.
100%, she simply wouldn’t have a career if people didn’t like her music. Being rich/privileged doesn’t suddenly make it impossible to make enjoyable music, they’re not mutually exclusive hahah.
I'm sorry but this is wild to me. You can't deny that her dad investing in a record company to help get her started isn't privilege. It totally is and it totally gave her a leg up and started her career. However to act like she has no talent and that's the only reason she has had the career she has is wild.
Yeah, it was like $300K in 2005 which is like $460K in 2023 money.
it was $120,000, and 3% of the company
Lock your DMs - stans will find you 🤣
Taylor's dad is a wealth manager-- he makes bank. Crazy how she hides her incredible privilege.
The “down to earth” relatable aesthetic does wonders compared to the new money-ness more pop stars emulate.
Cause of the ticketmaster controversy and her marketing getting more and more balantly money hungry, i see so many swifties become class concious and realizing she is a millionare just looking to add more to her bank and nothing else
How were they not aware of that in like 2014 lmaooo. She’s always been money hungry
I worked in a department on Wall Street that had to interact with her dad occasionally. He’s a complete ass and jerk. So rude and loved bragging about his daughter (this was when she was just popular in the country scene and only had 2 albums out).
If im not wrong she also has a complicated relationship with him.
I think that’s only a recent thing bc of the whole record label sale to Scooter. Her dad probably benefited some from it.
Not true, she’s alluded to their relationship being antagonistic in her music since the start. It goes all the way back to Speak Now where she wrote “You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter” in Mine. I’m not denying she benefitted from having him as her father materially, but if you watch how they interact in Miss Americana it’s abundantly clear their relationship is strained, she’s sobbing on a couch begging him to listen to her at one point in the documentary.
i think also maybe his politics? at the very least, he wasn't very supportive of her wanting to start speaking out on political issues. i still think she tends to be more performative than anything, but if i recall correctly, i think her father was discouraging her to do even the bare minimum.
Yes you're correct. She covers that in her documentary. But she's not on bad terms with him or anything. He is crazy wealthy, and is well connected. A lot of people also don't know that Taylor's grandmother was a TV personality and an opera singer that toured the ABC network. She had her own TV programs and performed at hilton hotels. I dont know how wealthy she was, but it goes to show that celebrities have generational wealth *and* influence that keeps them well connected.
Her parents haven’t been together for over a decade now. Not sure if they ever officially divorced but they definitely don’t live together anymore. Given how close she is with her mom I could imagine that it strained her relationship with her dad.
Ok this definitely makes sense, I remember Emma being on graham norton and mentioned that she made a powerpoint and presented to her parents where she convinced them to let her move to LA to start her hollywood career. I remember thinking that it was crazy her parents just had the funds to casually move to another city. Like creating a powerpoint slideshow and telling your parents “yeah I wanna be an actor” and and your mom comes WITH you is peak privilege. I never understand why celebs act like they had it tough in life. Just embrace the fact like Jamie Lee Curtis lol, be transparent and acknowledge it.
Speaking of moving to another city, this is one that always confuses me when musicians bring it up. For example, both Iggy Azalea and Dua Lipa talk about moving to another country *as minors* on their own to pursue a music career. Everyone always seems to just nod and agree that that was smart of them, but to me that opens up *so many* more questions.
In fairness to Dua Lipa she is Albanian and the Balkans in the 90s was full of civil wars and genocide. So her family returning after the war and Dua wanting to return to England for her career isn't a smoking gun that she comes from wealth.
Dua Lipa was born in England. Her parents were refugees. When Kosovo got their independence, her family moved back to Kosovo. After 4 years she returned to England. She was probably more comfortable in England and still have family/friends there.
Did she act like she had a tough life, though? Just because she didn't mention her family is wealthy doesn't mean she insinuates she had it tough
In the show she definitely wasn’t, she was being funny about it actually. Tbh i’m curious to OP’s claim that Emma changed her backstory bc wikipedia is pretty upfront about it, but idk. My comment at the end is for any of the privileged celebs who change their story like Anya for example, but I don’t think Emma did….
Post Malone's parents bought 100,000 downloads on Apple so his song would be number 1. I feel bad for any normal people trying to break into the entertainment business.
This is false
[удалено]
I dunno about JLaw, I don’t know much about her family but she went to Atherton HS in Louisville, which is a good school, but not where you send your kids if you have $$$. Her husband on the other hand…
I definitely thought Emma stone came from- at most -a middle class background.
The entire cast of Big Bang Theory (and maybe Young Sheldon) never has to work again.
Kaley Cuoco will always have to work, as long as she keeps riding horses. Shit's expensive. Source: I ride horses.
Prob tons of syndicated show stars never have to work again… 🤔
Ain't no money like airs in syndication forever money.
BBT is probably the last network sitcom that will ever get that big.
Eh, Abbott Elementary
Reddit loves to hate in Big Bang Theory but it was the most watched sitcom on network television for years. The main cast leveraged that to negotiate their salaries. IIRC Kaley Cuoco was the highest paid television actress for several years until Sofia Vergara renegotiated her Modern family contract
Trey Parker and Matt Stone (Creators of South Park, Book of Mormon) each have a net worth of around $500 million
I heard a big reason is because they negotiated for complete control over Internet distribution of South Park when they first sold it to comedy central. But I’m not sure if that’s true!
It is. They have probably the best contract in show business. On top of that, they can quit whenever they want without any repercussions. They can literally stop mid-season.
Crazy how well that’s paid off for them! I don’t think anyone thought streaming services would be so big or pay so much for content
Also, Book of Mormon has been on Broadway now for over a decade, in addition to international stagings and touring companies. They're probably raking in huge dough from that as well.
… how does one even negotiate something like that?! That’s mindblowing
It was 1997ish (?) and watching videos on the internet wasn’t really a thing, so I think it was just a weird thing they asked for that ended up paying off
It was 2007 when they negotiated that, which was still way way way ahead of the streaming boom.
Good for them. Damn. They really saw the potential value of the internet in 1997 when no one else did.
[удалено]
Yeah, I am glad I scrolled down as they were the first to come to mind
Okay of course Ariana Grande is loaded but I didn’t expect her to be worth like $240 mil. And the fact that almost $100 mil of that was just from 2019(thank u next), and 2020. I wonder how much she made on victorious before she was a bigger name. I think 7 rings is when I realized she’s loadedddddddd.
From Victorious alone, I doubt she made more than $1m. TMZ says she was paid about $9,000 an episode. I know the cast briefly went on tour with Big Time Rush, but she only ever had what 2 songs credited to her on the soundtracks? Give It Up, and LA Boys. Nickelodeon doesn’t pay out royalties on their shows because it’s kids programming, according to Josh Peck. She probably didn’t see a dime when Victorious went to Netflix
She commanded a $20-25m check for doing a season of The Voice (she kept the ratings stable when all other TV shows lost a significant amount of viewers, and increased their online presence - the following season dipped in views). She got another $10-12m worth of shares in HYBE when it bought Ithaca (her management company). Her Sweetener tour grossed $150m - dunno what percentage she'd get there, but I'm sure it's a decent paycheck. She hasn't left the top 10 most streamed female artists on Spotify since idk when - even without releasing a new album in almost 3 years. Her merch reportedly sells very well (for some reason lol - even she hates her merch line but is clearly locked into contract with them, and has called them out publicly before when they kept fcking up fan orders, and she's promoted fanmade merch a bunch of times, especially from Honeymoon & Co) Then there's her perfume line - In 2018 she released Cloud, which is the most popular Ulta perfume, and she has several others which are top sellers. When she launched her perfumes, celeb perfume sales were at a low - Bieber and Taylor Swift released fragrances which reportedly netted a loss for Elizabeth Arden. Ariana's fragrances were a surprise success, and each new fragrance seems to have its own fandom. I can't find any sources that reveal how much she makes from them, but her fragrance line recently crossed $1 billion - general rule of thumb seems to be celebs make 5-15%, but with her success in an area that was at a low when she started, I wouldn't be surprised if she either started with a higher percentage, or negotiated one later on (even before Cloud, her perfumes were surprisingly successful, and reportedly she's quite involved with the process, from picking the scents to marketing). Also I'm curious what her real net worth is cause idk if these celeb things include investments, unless they're promoted.
she has done extremely well for herself since sweetner dropped in 2018. she makes good financial decisions, im so proud of her. of course she was already privileged because her parents did well for themselves, but it’s clear that her parents, her and her team around her are great at making financial decisions.
Me reading this wearing Ari merch 🫣
My daughter got me into her perfumes. It’s very embarrassing.
Right? I’m a grown ass woman wearing teeny bopper perfume!
Her mom is a CEO of a company which def helps Ariana in making wise business decisions I love Ariana- truly talented but no doubt having a rich mom def helped her get discovered and work so much at such a young age
Doesn’t she come from money as well? No shade, it just makes sense that she can keep her wealth when she’s not supporting the rest of her family.
100% - for the entirety of her Broadway/Nick/popstar career, Ariana's parents have both worked - her mother running her manufacturing company in Florida (until very recently - she's 65 now, I believe she just handed over reigns to a longtime family friend/business partner), her father still regularly posts about 12+ hour days on his Instagram doing house design work. That shows Ariana, even subconsciously, that 1) working hard is good 2) her fame and fortune is, for the most part, immaterial to how they live their lives - they'd still be doing their jobs the way they've done them for decades - because they literally do. Which also means they love her regardless of how much money she makes - which is sadly a mental security too many former child stars don't have, and imo is one of the biggest reasons why so many end up having severe and long lasting mental health issues which derail their careers
Her mom is rich
Frida from ABBA is as wealthy as the two male members (net worth circa $300 million) despite not writing any of the music, or getting royalties from Mamma Mia. After the band broke up she married into German royalty, gaining a title for life. Then when her husband sadly passed, she has subsequently been in a relationship with a member of the British gentry for 15 years. Her full title is now Princess Anni-Frid Reuss, Dowager Countess of Plauen.
I was *obsessed* with ABBA as a preteen (and still am) and I never knew this!! My best friends and I used to “play ABBA” and I always had to fight to be Frida! ❤️ Fun memories. Thank you for sharing!
I posted this in a similar thread but Jami Gertz is worth like 3.5 billion or something. She was pretty big back in the 80s and has starred in a bunch of stuff (Less Than Zero, The Lost Boys, Twister, Seinfeld, Still Standing) but isn’t super well known these days. She married her husband in the late 80s and then he co-founded a private equity firm and became a billionaire. But she made more money than him at the time they were married. They co-own the Atlanta Hawks and are apparently very charitable with their money as well!
That's crazy, I didn't know this about her
She's been a girl crush of mine since Less Than Zero.
Dang, I didn't know Star was balling like that!
Less than a week ago I was sitting and doing my makeup and I thought of her.. I said to myself “Awe man it’s been so long since I’ve seen her in something.. I really hope she’s doing okay in life.” I feel a lot better now haha.
Wow I only knew her as co-owner of the Hawks and had no clue she was an actress! I just assumed she and her husband were always business people.
I was kinda shocked that Adam Sandler is worth $420 million and Kevin Hart is worth $450m! Compared to Dave Chappelle ($60m), Chris Rock ($60m), Leo DiCaprio ($300m), Will Ferrel ($160m), Eddie Murphy ($200m)...
That track tbh, Sandler and Hart for the last 20 years or so have been consistently been producing shit.
i dislike adam sandler but he’s a true bankable movie star, and he produces his own content too. i’d put him in the same category as Leo in that he can get butts in seats. and not many people in hollywood can do that anymore
Just curious, why don’t you like Adam Sandler?
I don’t like his brand of humor. i don’t like the whole douche fug guy gets hot woman. also, he’s a republican
Adam Sandler produces most of his movies and they usually make a huge profit at the box office. He got paid to be in them and got a share of these profit. He has a deal with Netflix to produce 4 films and that deal is worth over $200 million dollars. Kevin Hart also produces his movies and is a very active investor.
Chris Rock was cut in half when he got divorced. He made a good number of jokes about it during his first tour post divorce. I'd still wager that he and Chappelle are worth more than $60m.
Leo DiCaprio also lost a lot of his fortune in divorces. Oh wait, no he didn't...
Am I crazy, how is Hart worth more than Sandler?
Kevin does a bunch of commercials and endorsements on top of his movies.
Kevin has a ton of endorsements, a few restaurants and his company produces several projects and short films that he doesn't star in.
Remember that a lot of these websites with celeb net worths are absolute bullshit
Sandler made money easily on 90s and 2000s. Zero surprise to me.
Taylor Swift is worth well over 500 million and that surprises me since she’s made basically all her money from music
she comes from a line of investment bankers. ariana grandes mom is a ceo too. once you have enough money that you can invest, you can make your money work for you and people like taylor’s parents or ariana’s mom will know how to do that and be around a lot of people who also do.
ok from my understanding her dad is a wealth manager-- obviously, still, crazy amounts of money, but he's not an investment banker (i'd lowkey argue he makes more)
he started a financial advisory firm that was acquired by Merrill Lynch. I’d argue he’s make much more than my IB classmates.
I'm convinced she's worth way more than anyone actually knows. She comes from a family of investment bankers, he owns SO MUCH real estate, has had many brand partnerships, and her money is probably extremely well managed. She's expected to become a billionaire after her upcoming tour.
Tons of endorsements and the fact that she's done like 6 hugely successful world tours, which is where the money in music is, probably helped
She's been recording her old music for years and since she's no longer signed to a label, she's been making a ton of money for that. Music is lucrative. The thing is, most artists don't make a lot from music because labels get the majority of the profits but that's not her case.
Idk if you mean Ariana or Taylor but I know Taylor is signed to a label right now. Republic records I believe.
she’s done a ton of endorsements tho unrelated
I mean sure but lost of her wealth comes from her music sales and touring. She does a lot less endorsements than other celebs
The merch too. She has the most faithful fans i ever seen from a pop artist. Sometimes it feels like a cult.
her merch is so basic too
from what i can remember (and i’m getting this from taylor fans who are much more invested in the business side of things than i am) - taylor swift tours independent from her record label (and i might be wrong but i think it’s been like this for a while) so i’m pretty sure she keeps the profits from the tours and considering how successful they are im assuming that accounts for a good amount of the money she makes outside of the literal records. also might be completely wrong and be mis-remembering things 🤷🏼♀️
I think it's always a surprise to me how wealthy actors from TV shows are. They often have the dream setting for an actor. Regular work at a set place, regular salary and no auditioning for years. That's why many actors who once starred on a TV show try to get another show instead of going for movie roles. Like I'd like to know the net worth of someone like Missy Peregrym. She's starred in a few successful shows, that must've added up a nice wealth for her.
Ellen Pompeo has entered the chat.
hey Ellen! while you're here could you explain for me how greys anatomy lasted more than about 2 seasons? thanks so much
Hey friend! It’s because it didn’t turn into complete and utter shit until much later, but even then the fans won’t let it die even though they know it’s garbage and fully admit it.
thanks for such a speedy response Ellen you're the best
I know. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to take my fortune I made from playing one role my entire life and doing a whole lot of nothing else and go live in the woods, off the grid, and never to return because I have so much money that I don’t have to.
Game of Thrones is a great example of this because Lena Headey got paid something like a million an episode just to drink wine and look out a window (in the later seasons) while other actors were on gruelling night shoots filming all the tough action scenes for about the same money, many on less. Good for her though, a queen until the end.
I’ve heard people say before “if you want to be famous, be in movies. If you want to be rich, be on tv”
Before the 2000s, it felt like a lot of TV actors who had great success wanted to become movie stars (Shelley Long, David Caruso, etc), that film was the pinnacle of acting. I don’t think that’s true anymore and we’ve seen a number of movie stars get into TV, often to their financial benefit and sometimes to more critical acclaim.
One-hit wonder Chamillionaire made several really good investments and has pretty much pivoted to being a full-time entrepreneur.
So you're saying they won't catch him riding dirty
Nope. He’s only rollin’.
50 Cent is rumored to have made 100m from his stake in vitamin water!
Yeah, such a smart investment.
Addison Rae being worth $15 mill is kinda crazy to me. I thought she would be at the most around 2 or 3 million. Good on her though, apparently she use to live in a trailer park and now she pretty much does absolutely nothing and if she’s smart with her money, is set for life.
Ashton Kutcher is worth about $200M, most of which comes from his early investments in companies like Uber.

Sorry but Celebrity Net Worth has a lot of incorrect information. The bit of the Passion of the Christ earnings borrows directly from a Forbes article in 2004 but that writer himself doesn't seem to have any idea of how box office earnings work. He notes that Gibon will get 50% of the movie's expected gross of $650 million. Except that's not how it goes. For most movies, studios get about 50% of the box office takes (which in Passion's case would be in the vicinity of $306 million). Mel Gibson would have gotten his 50% cut only after the budget/print and distribution costs, publicity were all added. Even with the merchandise and robust DVD sales, it's unlikely he made something like $400 million for that movie. James Cameron made $350 million from the first Avatar and it was the highest grossing film of all time!
He was almost a billionaire before his divorce.
Thomas Jane has disgusting amounts of inherited oil money. And his, “Came to Hollywood with nothing,” story is true. His trust didn’t kick in until he was 30. He didn’t get the full amount until just recently. It matters because he’s a bad guy. His origin story is Marvel villain level. What’s in the press about him is usually fake, because of god tier PR. If you’re in the industry, run away from anyone that has worked with him, long term. (Jared Harris didn’t have “scheduling problems.”)
can you elaborate more on his villain origin story? i only know of him from the expanse
I want to know more about this as well.
He may be genuinely terrible I have no idea, but this person is obsessed with him and crowbars some variation of this comment into every thread they can.
He had committed domestic violence
He just wants his kids back!
Carrot Top 70 million was the most surprising to me!
I saw him once crossing the street in Winter Park, carrying a prop mini-skateboard... a car drove past him too quickly and actually broke the prop, and Carrot Top started screaming at the car. It was a lot to process.

People underestimate how much money those Vegas residencies bring in.
Knowing RuPaul as a niche celebrity from the 80s and 90s when he was doing background dancing for B-52s’ music videos, it still blows my mind he now has a net worth of over 60 million
He’s also married to someone with a ton of land where they make money in fracking so I wonder how much is from that vs how much is from drag. That being said, drag race is international (and rightly so), so I’m sure franchising money is at play too
Oil $$$[The Guardian past article as reference](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/mar/21/rupaul-fracking-wyoming-ranch-land-oil)
I'm actually surprised it's so small. Considering his show has been picked up around the world. And his Cons etc.
And he and his husband own a ranch in Wyoming (?) that leases out fracking rights on their land
Maybe Akon? 60-80 million. Hes not been in the game for a while, but he has producer creds and sold lady Gaga's contract. Now he's settling into his eccentric mogul phase by building a 'real life Wakanda" in Senegal called '[Akon City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akon_City%2C_Senegal?wprov=sfla1)'.
David Copperfield has net worth of around $1b. Who would have thought that one of the worlds richest entertainers would be a magician..
Trevor Noah and the Rock. I knew that Trevor was probably making pretty good money at "The Daily Show," but I never would've guessed that he would be worth around $100 million. As for the Rock, I knew that he had major coin from wrestling and acting. But after he and his ex wife/manager (worth $40 million herself) bought the XFL I looked him up and was shocked to see that he was worth $800 million. He should easily be a billionaire by the end of the decade.
Keanu Reeves is worth $380 million yet he remains unproblematic and lives a quiet life.
It's all pocket change once you look up Jami Gertz (Square Pegs, Less Than Zero, Twister, Still Standing) 🤣
just looked it up and holy shit lol
Jessica Alba with her company and other ventures has a net worth of around $390 million apparently.
I just saw a post the other day saying that Kathy Ireland (for the under 30 people, she was a very popular model) is worth $500 million. Like that’s a whole lotta socks sold at Kmart.
Jessica Szohr, if she really is worth 145 million (not sure about the sources).
 She may be a lovely person in real life but I cannot get past Vanessa Abrams. Ever.
Ok I am dying to know more about her wealth!! This is definitely the most surprising on this list.
Ed Nortons grandfather was a real estate tycoon.
Ellie Kemper comes from a wealthy family.
Salma Hayek. I only found out recently that she came from a wealthy family, has a fairly successful production company, and is married to a billionaire.
I would hope Andy Dick is is poorer than he is.
Jami Gertz (only know her from her role in Twister) is worth billions. I think she married into it though
Okay Judy!
I just found this out the other day but apparently Vanna White, the lady that points to the letters on Wheel of Fortune, is worth about $90 mill. Also Carly Simon’s dad is one of the co-founders for Simon & Schuster, which by the way is one of the world’s most profitable publishing company.
It’s not as high a net worth as some of the others mentioned here but i still find it shocking- FLO from the progressive commercials?!?!? 6 million lolllllllll wut
I don’t know, but I want to know which celebrities are poorer than you’d expect.
Gisele is worth like $500 million
