This Is How Much Valerie Bertinelli Is Really Worth

TV personality Valerie Bertinelli has been a public figure for much of her life. According to her official website, she has juggled several roles by being an actor, a chef, a cookbook author, and more. She's dedicated to the art of cooking and wants to make the most of her time in the kitchen. During the pandemic, the star coped with uncertainty by creating new recipes at home. She told Good Housekeeping that she warmed up to cooking by watching her grandmother and mother create magic in the kitchen, which inspired her lifelong love for food. 

Bertinelli might be a revered public figure now, but it has taken her time to get where she is today. Per Entertainment Weekly, Bertinelli has been acting since she was 15, working hard and adding several hit names to her credit, such as "One Day at a Time," "Young Love, First Love," "In A Child's Name," and more. She noted," I had no idea why I got into this business, but I'm still in it. And I still don't know why. I never pictured my life the way it is. And yet, I can't picture it differently." 

Love her or hate her, the actor and TV personality has managed to build an empire of her own.

Valerie Bertinelli's net worth is no paltry amount. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actor turned chef is worth an estimated $20 million. She has benefitted from her acting career, as well as her work in the food industry through shows like "Valerie's Home Cooking" on the Food Network. She's pretty well off these days and has a lavish home in the Hollywood Hills that was purchased for $2.25 million. It is a spacious living space, with five bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Also, it is helpful that Bertinelli no longer believes in restricting herself and has authored several cookbooks (via Closer Weekly). Bertinelli has also collaborated with the Jenny Craig brand in the past. However, this is a partnership of which she isn't too proud. Per Prevention, she has distanced herself from diet trends and wants to embrace wellness. "I have been buying into the diet industry my whole life and then I became part of the problem..." she wrote on Twitter. She also posted a relatable video on Instagram and poured her heart out after being body shamed online. She received plenty of praise for her decision to be so vulnerable. It's no wonder she continues to attract new fans after all these years.
