She’s been working for over seven decades, nearing her eighth, leaving her irreplaceable mark on productions such as My Fair Lady and The Sound of Music. She’s the picture of propriety and musical mischief in The Princess Diaries and Mary Poppins. What does such a powerful career mean for Julie Andrews’s net worth?
Julie Andrews began her career in 1945 and she’s been active in the industry ever since. She has been in dozens of movies and while her film list is no the longest out there, her projects have consistently performed well and it is supplemented by extensive theater performances. Accounting for net worth means looking at what all this earned her financially and what that money bought.
Julie Andrews’s net worth and where it comes from
After 77 years, Andrews has accumulated numerous accolades that include Golden Globe awards, a couple of Primetime Emmy awards, and an Academy Award. Surprisingly, she’s only received Tony nominations, not the actual award, so she’s very close to being among the ranks of EGOT winners; Mary Poppins alone earned her an Oscar and Grammy.
So, she has earned salaries for all of her powerful projects. To determine Andrews’s net worth, that also means looking at the financial value of everything she owns, including property. Back in 2018, her ’70s palatial Belgravia mansion went up for sale for roughly $28 million, so we know she can afford vast properties, even if she didn’t call that particular space home for a while. Other homes that she’s lived in sold for millions, though usually in the single digits as opposed to double, and selling has been slow. Celebrity Net Worth lists Andrews’s net worth itself at around $30 million.
The many triumphs of Andrews
Today, Andrews is 86 years old. She kicked her career off with theater performances as a child and her career has become something of a cultural touchstone, including classics like Mary Poppins and modern entries like the Shrek series. She’s done voice work for Aquaman in 2018 directly opposite Jason Momoa, and her most recent credits were from this year with Minions: The Rise of Gru and The King’s Daughter.
That her career proliferated to such an extent is both a testament to Andrews’s skill and a blessing that defies the odds. That’s because in the late ’90s, Andrews suffered from throat discomfort that manifested into outright hoarseness. It got to the point Andrews had to withdraw from a role in Victor/Victoria to get surgery. The procedures helped her speaking voice but her singing voice was permanently damaged. That could be up for debate, though, as Andrews sounded very powerful singing “Your Crowning Glory” in Princess Diaries 2, which marked her first time singing in earnest since that fateful surgery; it was a performance she nailed in the first take and brought her castmates to tears.
