Olivia Wilde's Net Worth Is Apparently Lower Than Experts Guessed
Most of the time, the intel we have about celebrities' net worths is really just educated guesswork. Experts (and amateurs) who obsess about celeb finances pull together any public information (big salaries that have been reported, real estate prices, etc.), but filling in the blanks requires at least some estimating and/or straight up speculating.
This is all to say that it's very rare for a celeb's actual net worth to become confirmed, public info, like Olivia Wilde's recently did. This marks a rare chance to dig into the difference between the internet's best guess at a famous person's net worth and their actual net worth (which, in this case, is a roughly $15 million gap).
What was Olivia Wilde's estimated net worth?
Let's start with the unofficial version of Olivia's net worth, which the wealth sleuths over at Celebrity Net Worth most recently estimated at $25 million. CNW's estimate suggested that most of Olivia's wealth has come from her earnings as an actress and director and her real estate investments.
What is Olivia Wilde's actual net worth?
According to legal documents related to her ongoing custody battle with ex Jason Sudeikis, Olivia's actual net worth is closer to $10 million.
According to the Daily Mail, which obtained the documents, Olivia disclosed her overall net worth, as well as her monthly income, in a declaration filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday. Specifically, the outlet reports that Olivia's overall net worth comes in at $10,569,736 (with $645,187 of that easily accessible in bank accounts, another $3,902,689 in stocks and bonds, and $6,021,860 in real estate and property investments).
Olivia's monthly income, according to the documents obtained by the Daily Mail, is $71,667. Clearly, that's a lot of money, but Olivia's monthly expenses are reportedly $107,000 a month (with the biggest spend categories including a $58,000 mortgage, $6,500 on utilities, and including almost $4,000 per month on laundry and cleaning, somehow).
Why did Olivia Wilde's actual net worth leak?
Olivia disclosed her net worth, as well as her monthly income and expenses, in legal documents related to her custody battle with Jason Sudeikis, who she has accused of dragging out proceedings in an attempt to "litigate her into debt."
"While the details of Jason's finances are presently unknown as he refused to substantively respond to basic discovery, she is aware that he is far wealthier than she is," her lawyers previously claimed, according to the Daily Mail (Jason Sudeikis's net worth has also been estimated at around $25 million, but who knows how accurate that is, given how wrong the same estimate was about Olivia's net worth).
And, FWIW, Olivia is *not* happy about the leak, as her reps made abundantly clear in a statement to E! News on Friday:
"The sealed and private documents that were leaked today are the utmost breach of trust and never intended for public consumption. This private family matter, involving young children, has continued to be a tabloid fixture and the press coverage dating back a year has been relentless and traumatic," the statement read. "Olivia only continues to be focused on co-parenting her children and moving past this difficult period swiftly and drama free."
