Whoopi Goldberg ‘The View’ Salary: Here’s How Much She Is Earning Yearly

Whoopi Goldberg is an American actress, comedian and television personality. At age 66, she enjoys a massive fortune of $60 million.

Take a look at how she built her wealth throughout the years and how much she makes annually for hosting “The View.”

Goldberg first appeared in the film “Citizen: I'm Not Losing My Mind, I'm Giving It Away” in 1982. In the succeeding years, she appeared in other movies, including “The Color Purple,” “Ghost” and “Sister Act.”

Goldberg thrived in the late ‘90s as she took on supporting roles in “How Stella Got Her Groove Back,” “Girl, Interrupted” and many others. She also appeared in several installments of the “Star Trek” franchise.

In 2010, she starred in “Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls” alongside Janet Jackson. The film reportedly grossed over $38 million worldwide.

Aside from acting, Golberg also ventured into voice acting and children’s book writing. She is behind the voice of Stretch in "Toy Story 3." “Alice” and “Whoopi’s Big Book of Manners” are among the books she authored.

Goldberg is also an entrepreneur. She co-founded Whoopi & Maya, a company that makes medical cannabis products for women needing relief from menstrual cramps.

Today, Golberg is most known for her work as a moderator and co-host of the talk show “The View.”

She joined the series in 2007 as a replacement for Rosie O'Donnell. Her debut reportedly drew in 3.4 million viewers and saw a 7% increase in viewership from the previous season.

She is earning $8 million annually for hosting the show, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Throughout her nearly 15 years on the show, Goldberg has made several divisive comments that stirred up controversy from viewers. In 2009, she remarked that Roman Polanski was not guilty of "rape-rape.” Goldberg also initially defended Bill Cosby when he faced allegations of sexual assault.

On Tuesday, ABC News suspended Goldberg for two weeks after she drew criticism for falsely declaring that the Holocaust was not about race but man’s inhumanity to humans. Goldberg has since apologized for her remark.
