Have you ever wondered how much wealth this talented multimedia entertainer has accumulated so far? How rich Maya Rudolph is? According to sources, it is estimated that the total amount of Maya Rudolph’s net worth, as of mid-2016, is $4 million. It has been acquired primarily through her movie and television career which has been active since 1996, and in which she appeared in almost 50 movies, TV series and shows.

Maya Rudolph Net Worth $4 Million

Maya was born to Minnie Riperton, a famous soul singer best known for her 1975 hit single, “Lovin’ You”, and Richard Rudolph, a songwriter and music producer, so it is no wonder that she has managed to make a successful career in the entertainment industry. Maya Rudolph is of a Jewish descent by her father, and African-American by her mother. She attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California and later enrolled at the University of California in Santa Cruz, from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in photography in 1994.

During her college time, Maya’s interest in music bloomed and she formed a band called Super Sauce. After graduation, she joined The Rentals, a rock band fronted by the former bassist of Weezer, Matt Sharp, in which she served as a backing singer and keyboardist. Parallel to the music, Maya has also made some efforts towards acting. Some of her early works include appearances in the movies “As Good as It Gets” (1997) featuring Jack Nicholson as the main protagonist, and in the black comedy drama “Chuck & Buck” (2000), as well as side roles in the TV series “Chicago Hope” and “City of Angels”. All these engagements provided the basis for Maya Rudolph’s net worth.

The real breakthrough in Maya’s career came in 2000, when she became part of the regular cast of NBC’s comedy show, “Saturday Night Live”. Due to her magnificent ability to play a great variety of characters, Maya Rudolph has portrayed Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Donatella Versace, Lucy Liu, Tina Turner and Oprah Winfrey. She stayed in the show until 2007, and during that time, Maya gained a reputation as one of the most popular and interesting performers of SNL. Certainly, these ventures added a significant sum to the overall net worth of Maya Rudolph.

Apart from those already mentioned, Maya’s portfolio is abundant with roles in various television series such as “The Simpsons”, “Kath & Kim” and “Up All Night”. Prior to 2014, when she hosted her own show – The Maya Rudolph Show – she also starred in several films including “50 First Dates” (2004), “Idiocracy” (2006), “Zookeeper” (2011) and “Big Hero 6”. For the role of Lillian Donovan in the 2011 film “Bridesmaids”, Maya Rudolph won an MTV Movie Award for Best Gut-Wrenching Performance. Doubtlessly, all these accomplishments have made a positive impact on the total size of Maya Rudolph’s wealth.

Some of the Maya’s most recent works include guest starring in FOX’s TV comedy series “The Grinder” as well as voice acting in the 2016 “The Angry Birds Movie”, which in the first week after the premiere scored over $150 million at the box office. These involvements have dramatically increased Maya Rudolph’s wealth in total.

When it comes to her personal life, Maya Rudolph has been married to movie director and producer, Paul Thomas Anderson, since 2001, with whom he has three daughters and a son. With her family, Maya Rudolph currently resides in the San Fernando Valley.

Maya Rudolph is a childhood friend with Academy and BAFTA Awards winning actress, Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as with a comedian and musician, Jack Black.

#Quote
1When I'm acting, I'm much taller and thinner in my mind. Then I see myself and I'm like 'Oh, right. I forgot. That's what I look like.''"
2My mom was black and my dad is Jewish, and I lost my mom when I was seven ... That made me feel really different from other kids.
3I've met people who are baffled by children, as though they were never children themselves. I think that people who don't like kids are awful people.
4Donatella Versace gave me pointers - a lot of them. She said she would never wear fake diamonds. I let the costume department know.
5If there's ice cream present, ordering is a no brainer. I think all of us need to have ice cream whenever possible. My go-to is mint chip.
6[on having 3 kids and a career] I thought, 'Just make it work. I had people that I trust telling me that we'll make it work. And here we are, trying to make it work. I think it's all doable.
