What's Whoopi Worth?
Whoopi Goldberg says in this video that she had blown through all of her savings and had no money to live on when she was hired to do The View.
Today, her net worth is estimated to be $60 million.
Is that possible? Supposedly, Celebrity Net Worth and similar sites are pretty reliable, using publicly available tax, real estate and other data to estimate assets.
If Whoopi Goldberg managed to attain $60 million from leveraging her role on The View, then she's made some great business decisions in recent years.
Remember, she says she started the show with no savings at all. Joy Behar has been on The View for 25 years and her estimated net worth is half Whoopi's at $30 million.
Strangely, Sunny Hostin's net worth is only estimated to be $3 million. That seems unlikely given how long she has been on The View, plus she has done an Investigation Discovery series, writes chick lit novels, etc.

Net worth includes cash and all other assets. Maybe she had blown through all of her cash pre View, but still had less liquid investments like real estate and artwork.

That interview clip didn't make me like her, or her daughter. Her daughter was like, "Mama, don't quit, who'll pay my bills?"

Her annual salary for The View is $8 million. She's been on it since 2007.

She’s so unqualified to do her job on the view. She seems checked out. Also, she is a bit racist. It’s obvious whenever she does “white girl” voice.
Fuck her.

Complete bullshit. The site is notoriously unreliable.

Whoopi Goldberg is not racist, racist. "White girl" voice was part of the one-woman Broadway show which brought her initial acclaim way back in the mid eighties!

WG is paid a lot more than Joy. She's an EGOT. And she's the moderator.

Why does the moderator get paid more?
Just for saying "OK, thanks. And Sunny, what do you think?" and "We have to pay our bills, y'all. Don't go away"?
It doesn't really seem like that much extra effort, or like it requires any special skills.
Although ending every single celebrity interview with, "YOU have to come back! You don't visit enough. Come back anytime!" certainly is not something one could do without multiple acting awards under her belt.

I have always liked Whoopi, but she does get paid a lot to say a lot of nonsense much of the time.
"And you know. That's what we do. We're here to share our views, it's the gig, and if ya like it, cool, and if ya don't like it, that's cool, too, but if ya don't like it, don't tweet me because I'm not reading your tweets. Because I don't care. Cool? OK, cool. We'll be back."

Whoopi has to deal with personalities like Meghan McCain's for those extra ends - 'nuff said!

About $1, and that’s being generous.

Celebrity Net Worth is bullshit. Unless you see someone's tax returns, bank statements or court docs, you don't know shit. And Whoopi supports her daughter and grandchildren.

I'm sure a lot of money Whoopi makes goes to her manager, the talent agency, and other people on her payroll (like personal assistant - if The View doesn't provide on who is, by default, loyal to the one who pays his or her salary).
Does she have endorsements like cookware or her personal caftan line?

Why doesn’t anyone in Whoopi’s family get a job? It’s bizarre. The daughter claims to be an actress

If she bought property in New York and LA at the right times, she could easily have tens of millions worth of real estate. I've always had a soft spot for her. She really worked her way up from nothing at a time when no one was looking for a non-beautiful Black woman. She's had career ups and downs, but keeps soldiering through--she went from an Oscar to being the center square in Hollywood Squares and and a recurring character on StarTrek Next Generation. I respect her resilience. She hasn't had an easy ride of a career and I really don't think she's a racist--I get the sense that she really appreciates the people, many of whom were white, who have helped her along the way.

I personally know somebody who's listed on Celebrity Net Worth, though he hasn't really been a celebrity for thirty years. They say he's worth $10 million, but I know for a fact he has a few thousand in savings, social security and a SAG pension, and that's it. He even rents rather than owns his condo.
So no, those websites aren't accurate.

Un, huh. They say that Judy Garland was worth tens of millions upon her death in1969 based on her long movie career.
In reality, Garland was homeless and owed the gov hundreds of thousands in back taxes.
Cheers!
