Rosie O'Donnell Net Worth: How much is the American comedian worth, whose citizenship Trump is threatening to revoke?
Rosie O'Donnell, the spirited comedian, actress, and outspoken activist, is facing the wrath of the President of the United States of America – even after moving to Ireland earlier this year, after Trump's win. In a recent post on Truth Social, Donald Trump threatened to revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship, calling her "a Threat to Humanity" who should 'remain in Ireland.' Trump wrote on his Truth Social account, "Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" But why such an outrageous threat? Turns out, the US President's remarks appeared to be a direct reaction to a TikTok video O'Donnell released earlier this month. In a video shared on social media, the American comedian and talk show host grieved the 119 lives lost during the July 4 floods in Texas and criticised the Trump administration for previously slashing funds to government agencies responsible for environmental monitoring and disaster forecasting. O'Donnell said in the video, 'What a horror story in Texas. And you know, when the president guts all the early warning systems and the weather forecast abilities of the government, these are the results that we're gonna start to see on a daily basis.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Rosie O'Donnell Net Worth : Rosie O'Donnell, the New York native (born Roseann O'Donnell in 1962 in Commack, New York), is not only a multiple-Emmy-winning artist but also commands public fascination for her sharp wit and political candor. She used humor to cope after her mother died when she was 10, and went on to win stand-up contests on TV's Star Search in 1984. There was no turning back afterwards. With a successful career spanning over four decades, O'Donnell has built an impressive financial portfolio, which continues to thrive despite her moving out of America earlier this year. Let's take a look at her net worth, which is estimated at $80 million, a testament to decades of diversification – from hosting an Emmy-winning daytime talk show to lucrative real estate deals, authorship, stage performances, and entrepreneurial ventures. Rosie O'Donnell's Net Worth: The full breakdown Television triumphs O'Donnell rose to national prominence as the host of The Rosie O'Donnell Show (1996–2002). Earning around $5 million per year during its peak, the show's success earned her multiple Daytime Emmy Awards and the affectionate title 'Queen of Nice.' Her brief but headline-making tenure on The View (2006–2007, later 2014–2015) added significantly to her earnings. Film, Broadway, and stand‑up In the early 1990s, O'Donnell had memorable film roles in hits like A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, The Flintstones, and Beautiful Girls. She later returned to Broadway in productions like Grease and Fiddler on the Roof, while continuing to tour stand-up shows globally, both high-value income sources. Books and publishing ventures O'Donnell is a bestselling author with memoirs such as Find Me and Celebrity Detox, and even a series of children's joke books. Her book deals have brought in steady revenue. In 2000, she co-launched Rosie, a magazine that, though short-lived, diversified her creative portfolio. Real estate deals One of the key elements in O'Donnell's financial portfolio has been her real estate choices: She bought a Star Island mansion in Miami for $6.75M, and sold it for $16.5M. Owned a Saddle River, NJ estate, sold in 2021 at a $1M loss. Purchased an $8M NYC triplex in 2017, listed at $7.5M in 2024. Bought and later listed properties in LA and West Palm Beach. These strategic purchases and sales secured her millions of dollars in profit. Even properties that sold at a loss didn't detract much from her overall wealth. Ongoing ventures, activism, and philanthropy Although O'Donnell moved to Ireland earlier this year, effectively shifting herself out of the Hollywood center, she remains commercially active through guest appearances on TV series, streaming specials, voice roles, stand-up, and more. She has also co-founded R Family Vacations, the first travel company for LGBTQ families. Along with that, her SiriusXM radio show and digital collaborations (e.g., with OWN) keep her income flowing. Though not monetarily lucrative, O'Donnell's philanthropic work, through For All Kids Foundation, Broadway Kids, and advocacy, has only enhanced her brand over the years, allowing her to sustain relevance and influence.

Rosie O'Donnell sold NYC penthouse for nearly ‘half its price' when she left US for Ireland
city sale | The comedian's Midtown East home that she bought for $8 million in 2017, was sold for $4.75 million last month Rosie O'Donnell The comedian's Midtown East home that she bought for $8 million in 2017, was sold for $4.75 million last month, according to the New York Post. The penthouse located at 255 E. 49th Street features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a glass-enclosed room with a view of the East River, a sauna and a rooftop deck. The 63-year-old originally listed the penthouse for $8.3 million in early 2023 but later dropped the price. The star who gave up the home before Trump's inauguration in January, had previously said she was motivated to move to keep her non-binary child, Clay, safe. 'I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are,' she explained. 'You know, I'm happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.' O'Donnell, whose grandparents are from Ireland is reportedly in the process of obtaining her citizenship in Ireland. In another video made since her move she said: 'I feel healthier [and] I'm sleeping better without the stress and anxiety over what was happening politically in the country The TV personality who is a parent to kids Parker, 29, Chelsea, 27, Blake, 25 and Vivienne, 22 is to make her comedy debut on a Dublin stage this week. Having starred in films such as Sleepless in Seattle, A League of Their Own and The Flintstones, she has also had her own talk show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, and has appeared in the likes of HBOs Curb Your Enthusiasm and Netflix's Russian Doll. Now, the 62-year-old is performing at a number of Dublin venues this week including the Craic Den Comedy Club in Workman's, The Comedy Cellar at the International Bar, and In Stitches Comedy in Peadar Kearney's pub, according to the Irish Independent. Read more As she prepares material ahead of her performance at Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this summer. She took to Instagram to say: 'Tuesday and Wednesday nights this week, I will be trying out some new stand up as I prepare for Edinburgh Fringe Festival - come by and say hello.' According to the Craic Den Comedy Club, 'Rosie is a rockstar comedian with a stand-up career spanning four decades.' A long-time critic of the US President, when Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited Mr Trump ahead of St Patrick's Day, a reporter asked about Ms O'Donnell's move to Ireland in the Oval Office with Mr Trump responding: 'Do you know who she is? You're better off not knowing.' Last month she told CNN's The Situation Room that 'not a day has gone by that I thought it was the wrong decision'. Revealing that she already decided to leave the country if Trump won the presidency, she told CNN: 'And although I was not one of the celebrities who announced that that's what I would do, I made the decision within my family and my therapist should he win.' She said that both her and her son were 'gone before he was inaugurated' and are now both settling into her new life in Ireland. 'We chose Ireland and didn't really know where to go,' O'Donnell told Us Weekly. 'Someone said Dalkey and I found a house online that was in Glengarry. But when the people who were helping us move in went there, there was mould in it.' She said she couldn't move there 'especially with an autistic child who has some allergy issues', and so they ended up in Howth, where they stayed in an Airbnb. Once their time was up there, O'Donnell and Clay officially settled in Dublin and 'couldn't be happier'. 'There's a great, great school there,' she said while discussing her Hulu documentary special Unleashing Hope: The Power of Service Dogs for Children With Autism. 'And Clay has done very well. And they were really welcoming. 'And I love the little town, the little village. It's in the heart of Dublin, but it's still a village where you know the name of the grocer and you know the name of the cashiers. People are unbearably kind in a way that shocks me every single day.'

The Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres feud, explained
Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres are both lesbian comedians with successful acting careers. They've both had major daytime talk shows, and both fled to Europe because of the current political climate, and yet despite how much they have in common, they've been feuding for more than two decades. In a new interview with Us Weekly, O'Donnell is speaking out about the deterioration of her relationship with DeGeneres and what led to the falling out between the former friends who have such a long and shared history. Although there have been years' worth of simmering animosity, O'Donnell said she doesn't have any 'malice' toward her old friend. 'I don't want to fight against another gay woman. It's not like we're tenaciously opposed to each other. We're just very different people. We have had some stuff in the past that we never resolved,' she explained. But how did the feud start, and where do the women stand now? The two women both came up in the stand-up comedy scene at the same time in the '90s so they ran into each other frequently and according to O'Donnell they used to go to parties together with other lesbian celebrities. 'I had known her for years doing stand-up and as young entertainers in Hollywood. Me, Melissa [Etheridge], k.d. [lang] and Ellen, we all would go to parties together,' O'Donnell told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview back in 2023. The League of Their Own actress explained that they were such good friends that right before DeGeneres came out on her sitcom Ellen and then on the cover of Time, she came on The Rosie O'Donnell Show and teased coming out. To support her friend, despite still being in the closet herself, O'Donnell made a lesbian joke on air. 'It was a good relationship. We were friends,' O'Donnell said. 'We supported each other. Which is why when she came on my show, I said, 'Let me not have you standing there by yourself. Let's get a joke in there.' And we sat down and came up with that, 'Oh my God, I love Casey Kasem. Maybe I'm Lebanese.' It became a big thing.' The relationship between the comedians deteriorated when DeGeneres appeared on Larry King Live in 2004 and acted like she and O'Donnell weren't friends. 'She said it on Larry King Live. Larry King said, 'Whatever happened to Rosie O'Donnell's show? She went down the tubes as soon as she came out.' And the quote that Ellen said was, 'I don't know Rosie. We're not friends.' I was watching TV in bed with my wife going, 'Did she just say that?'' The reality of what DeGeneres told Larry King is slightly different: "I don't really know Rosie that well. I mean, I've spoken to her, but we're not really friends," she said. On an episode of Watch What Happens Live in 2022, O'Donnell admitted that she was hurt by DeGeneres snubbing her on Larry King Live. "It hurt my feelings like a baby and I never really got over it," she told host Andy Cohen after relaying the whole saga. O'Donnell also claimed in the interview with THR that DeGeneres hired the staff from her talk show to work on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which started in 2003, shortly after O'Donnell left her own talk show. 'She used the same staff from my show — Jim Paratore, Andy Lassner. So that was odd. It was very similar to my show,' O'Donnell told the publication. "And then I asked to go on because of something I was promoting, and she said no. And I remember going, 'Seriously?' After she said no that one time, whenever they would ask [me to appear] on the show, I would say no." O'Donnell told THR back in 2023 that after she appeared on Watch What Happens Live, she received a text from her old friend apologizing and admitting that she didn't remember saying that to Larry King. But at the time it doesn't sound like O'Donnell was ready to live and let live. 'She wrote, 'I'm really sorry and I don't remember that.' I guess she saw me talk about it on Andy Cohen's show. I remembered it so well, I had T-shirts printed and I gave them to my staff that said 'I don't know Rosie. We're not friends.'' O'Donnell said that at one point the two women were so close that they knew each other's family, but after the feud started, she no longer trusted DeGeneres. 'I have a picture of her holding [my then-infant son] Parker. I know her mother. I could identify her brother without her in the room. I knew her for so many years. It just felt like I don't trust this person to be in my world,' she said. While DeGeneres hasn't spoke publicly about the feud, O'Donnell went into detail about her feelings toward DeGeneres in the new Us Weekly interview. 'I don't want to fight against another gay woman. It's not like we're tenaciously opposed to each other. We're just very different people,' she admitted. 'We have had some stuff in the past that we never resolved. And not in any way as, as partners or lovers or anything like that, just as friends and comedians, but I wish her the best. I seriously do,' she told Us. 'I think that there's enough room in the world for all of the gay comedians, and we all need to stick together because gay people are the next group to be threatened. And the way they attack trans people is absolutely terrifying. If people don't understand that they're a vital part of the LBGTQIA+ community, that's tragic because we protect our own, especially the most vulnerable.'
