QQ: what do you think Demi Moore's net worth is? Kay, take that number and quadruple it and you're probably in the ballpark. Demi has been acting for decades so naturally she's a millionaire, but the number of 000s in her bank account is more than a little jaw-dropping at $200 million and deserves a full breakdown. Let's dive in as we wait for her to collect all the awards for The Substance, shall we?
She Used to Be THE Highest-Paid Actress in Film
The bulk of Demi's net worth comes from her starring roles in hits like Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal, G.I. Jane, Charlie's Angels Full Throttle, The Substance, and Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. But her biggest payday came in the '90s when she starred in Striptease and was paid $12.5 million, making her the highest-paid actress of the time.
$12.5 million is a lot, but please be advised that Demi's other films have also netted huge paychecks. Some highlights (care of Celebrity Net Worth)?
G.I. Jane: $11 million
A Few Good Men: $3 million
Indecent Proposal: $5 million
Disclosure: $6 million
The Scarlet Letter: $7 million
The Juror: $7 million
Demi recently spoke about her time as the highest-paid actress in Hollywood to the New York Times, saying “It wasn’t about comparing myself to [Bruce Willis]. Yes, I saw what he got paid. It was really more about: ‘Why shouldn’t I? If I’m doing the same amount of work, why shouldn’t I?’"
She also told Variety that her Striptease salary was “so powerful for me because it wasn’t just about me; it was about changing the playing field for all women. But because I was portraying a stripper, I betrayed women. The narrative quickly became, ‘Well, she’s only getting paid that number because she’s playing a stripper.’ It hit me really hard. But at the same time, I understood that anybody who steps out first is going to take the hit. That goes for anybody challenging the status quo.”
Just FYI that on top of acting, Demi has also produced several successful films—including Austin Powers.
Her Divorce Settlement Was Truly Massive
When Demi divorced Bruce Willis in 2000, she reportedly received a settlement of $90 million. I repeat: $90 million. And this was on top of some pricey real estate which we'll get to in a moment. TMZ also reported that Demi got a "generous" settlement during her divorce from Ashton Kutcher in 2013, who was one of the highest paid TV actors in Hollywood at the time.
She Made $45 Million Selling 1 Apartment
Soooo, Demi and Bruce bought an apartment in NYC when they were still married—which Demi ended up getting in their divorce. She then sold the place for $45 million, according to Architectural Digest. I'm truly crying. So might as well keep going with these:
