Whoopi Goldberg's net worth has remained intact over the years, even after the peak of her career back in the 1990's.
Born Caryn Elaine Johnson, Whoopie Goldberg's net worth first took shape back in 1982 when she took on her first big screen role in the movie "Citizen: I'm Not Lossing My Mind, I'm Giving It Away."
It was three years later in 1985 when Whoopi Goldberg's net worth would skyrocket as she took on her breakthrough role as Celie, a mistreated black woman in the Deep South in the highly acclaimed film, "The Color Purple."
Whoopi Goldberg's net worth continued rising after that, taking on more and more big roles in blockbuster films.
It was romantic fantasy film "Ghost" that earned Goldberg her first Oscar as Best Supporting Actress, her portrayal of wacky psychic Oda Mae Brown impressing fans and critics worldwide and helping her become the second black woman in history to win an Academy Award. She starred alongside Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.
The next few years saw Goldberg taking on more television projects. She co-produced the hit TV show "Hollywood Squares" for several years, from 1998 to 2004.
Since 2007, Goldberg's net worth hasn't waned due to her role as moderator of hit daytime TV show "The View." Seven years later, Goldberg has 13 Emmy nominations under her belt for her work in television.
As one of the very few entertainers who have won an Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony award, Goldberg is truly one mighty force who continues producing entertainment gold even after nearly four decades in the business.
So how much is this award-winning actress worth? CelebrityNetWorth says Whoophi Goldberg's net worth is an impressive $45 million.
