So, if you're here because you want to know how much money Kelly Ripa really has, you've come to the right place. Here's everything to know about how the star has made her massive sums of cash over the years, and her total net worth.
She started out as a TV actress.
Kelly got her start in the 1990s on the soap All My Children. She also starred in the ABC sitcom, Hope & Faith, from 2003 to 2006, according to IMDB. Since then, she's appeared on a number of TV shows, including Riverdale, The Jim Gaffigan Show, and Ugly Betty.
She makes a killing hosting 'Live with Kelly and Mark.'
She has co-hosted a talk show since 2001. The show has changed names over time, but is now called Live With Kelly and Mark (before that it was called Live with Kelly and Ryan and Live With Regis and Kelly).
Kelly makes $22 million each year for Live, according to Celebrity Net Worth, which is just seriously impressive. Back in 2017, she was making an $18 million salary for the show, according to Forbes. And that was expected to go up to $20 million in 2018.
She has also had a ton of endorsem*nt deals.
Kelly has also lent her face to many brands and commercials. In recent years, she's represented Colgate, Tide, Pantene, Ancestry.com, Electrolux and more.
She has multiple expensive homes.
She sold her penthouse in NYC for $20 million back in 2014, according to Zillow. And she and Mark live in a $27 million townhouse now, according to The New York Daily News.
Kelly and Mark also have a gorgeous summer home in Telluride, Colorado, that they shared with People. Oh, and also a home in the Hamptons, according to E! News. So, Kelly's combined real estate portfolio with Mark is worth roughly $45 million, Celebrity Net Worth says.
She's also a business owner.
Kelly and her husband Mark own a New York-based production company called Milojo Productions. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she is working on a new crime show that premiered on Oxygen.
She’s now an author, too.
Kelly wrote a memoir in 2022 called Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories. In the book, Kelly talks about how she and Mark met, the chauvinism that she has experienced on set, and her own embarrassing moments.
Kelly’s book became a New York Times bestseller, and she posted the sweetest thank you to her fans on Instagram afterward.
She hosts a game show in her spare time.
What spare time?! Kelly began hosting Generation Gap on ABC in 2022, which is a spinoff show that takes inspiration from a segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show features family members of different ages, working together to try to answer questions about each other’s generations. It was renewed for a second season in March of 2023, per IMDB.
She’s working on an All My Children spinoff.
And it's called Pine Valley. The show will feature Kelly and Mark, who are set to reprise characters from their old soap days. Susan Lucci is also on board, according to IMDB.
If it's successful, Kelly will definitely rake in some more dough from this project.
What's her total net worth?
Well, there's some debate on the topic. According to The Richest, Kelly's worth about $75 million, but according to CelebrityNetWorth.com, she comes in at $120 million.
