How much is Kate Walsh’s Net Worth in 2024?

Kate Walsh is an American actress known for her role as Dr. Addison Montgomery on Grey’s Anatomy, with an estimated net worth of around $20 million according to Celebrity Net Worth as of 2024.

Walsh is an accomplished actress with a career spanning 27 years, and is known for playing numerous characters that have earned adoration from fans. While her largest role is as Dr. Addison Montgomery in Grey’s Anatomy, this is not the only show where she played the character – she also starred in 6 seasons of the spinoff show Private Practice, where she reprised the role. Alongside Montgomery, Walsh is also known for playing Olivia Baker in the show Thirteen Reasons Why, The Handler in The Umbrella Academy, and Charlie’s mother in the film The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

While she may not still be playing her most well-known role, Walsh does continue to act in a smaller capacity on other projects. Alongside this, she has her own business venture making her money. Given her status, it is likely that, while she could take more roles, she is instead choosing to live a more laid-back life with her partner in Australia.

While in the latter half of her life and having made a respectable sum of money, Walsh seems to be in a position of focusing on less work-related endeavors. She continues to act on occasion and update her fan base through Twitter and TikTok, but she seems to be making a move out of the limelight.

Kate Walsh's net worth in 2024 is estimated to be $20 million as per Celebrity Net Worth, stemming from her thriving acting career, entrepreneurial ventures, and social media. Besides her success in television and film, Walsh has proven to be a shrewd businesswoman who founded Boyfriend LLC, a beauty products company.

This venture has been highly profitable, with Forbes valuing the company at $10 million in 2012 and reporting $2.5 million in sales the previous year. Additionally, Walsh has leveraged her social media presence to generate income, and her astute real estate investments further underscore her financial acumen.

Walsh’s primary sources of income are from acting, her business venture, and from her social media.

Acting:

Walsh is noted to have been making $175 thousand per episode of Grey’s Anatomy at the height of her time on the show. Given that she is still acting in other roles and will be making a guest reappearance on Grey’s Anatomy soon, her acting is still making her a good chunk of her yearly earnings.

Her salary is a bit more difficult to pinpoint; while on Grey’s Anatomy, Celebrity Net Worth estimated she made an average of around $4.375 million per season, though this is calculated after the fact. Her earnings per season changed as the show grew in popularity and her time with the cast grew.

Business Ventures:

Walsh founded her company Boyfriend LLC in 2010, and continues to operate it to this day. Boyfriend is a company that sells beauty products, from hand creams to perfumes to even candles. The company continues to do well; in 2012, Forbes stated its estimated value was $10 million and that it had made $2.5 million in sales the year before. More than likely, these numbers have grown even higher, making Walsh a hefty profit.

Social Media:

While Walsh does have some social media presence, she does not post too much. She may receive some money from the TikTok creator fund given her 2 million followers, but as she is not very active, it is likely negligible given her other sources of income.

Walsh seems to keep her expenses either to a minimum or largely out of the public eye. It is known she purchased her previous home in Encino for $2.75 million and made extensive renovations to it, accounting for some of her spending, though this was more of an investment than just buying things for herself.

But Walsh sold her Encino, California home for $4.6 million and after this, she decided to move in with her partner, Andrew Nixon, an Australian farmer. This took the actress from the entertainment hub that is California all the way to Australia, something seemingly less convenient for taking film or television roles. Walsh does still have her beauty company as another venture for her, which provides another focus besides acting.

Other than her home, Walsh has been seen driving a few different cars, though nothing overly lavish. The actress seemingly has at one point owned a couple of Porsches, a Range Rover, and even a Prius, showcasing that, while she may have multiple cars, she’s not going overboard buying the most expensive vehicles on the market.

• Walsh modeled and taught in Japan for a brief time in the 1980s.
  
  

• Walsh has been the spokesperson of the Narcolepsy Network since 2007.
  
  

• The actress is a frequent, outspoken supporter of pet adoption, often campaigning for the cause.
