Easily one of the most successful comedy actors of her generation, at times it has seemed like Julia Louis-Dreyfus has the Midas touch. After all, unlike the vast majority of actors who’ve starred in an iconic show, Louis-Dreyfus has starred in more than one sitcom that will go down in history as an all-time great.

Whenever Julia Louis-Dreyfus and her husband Brad Hall appear at a red-carpet event, there is no doubt that she is the one who commands almost all the attention.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Family Business

Julia Louis-Dreyfus' family business, the Louis Dreyfus Company is worth $120 billion

Long before Julia Louis-Dreyfus was born, her great-great-grandfather Léopold Louis-Dreyfus founded the Louis Dreyfus Company. While most people have never heard of it, the Louis Dreyfus Company’s annual gross sales have exceeded $120 billion.

Since Léopold Louis-Dreyfus passed away in 1915, his fortune and interests in the company he founded have been passed down in Julia’s family. For example, before Julia’s father Gérard Louis-Dreyfus passed away in 2016, he chaired the Louis Dreyfus Company.

As a result of the company's success, Gérard reportedly was able to amass a $4 billion net worth before he passed away which was inherited by Julia, her siblings, and her step-mother. For that reason, it has been suggested that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is likely to become a billionaire in the future.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Incredible Career

Julia Louis-Dreyfus' acting career has made her a $250 million fortune

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has a current net worth of $250 million, which makes her one of the wealthiest Seinfeld stars. While it is clear that Brad Hall and Louis-Dreyfus’ forebearers have contributed a lot of money to her family’s fortune, she has made a big chunk of her family’s fortune.

Still best known as one of the stars of the legendary sitcom Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus played a massive role in that show’s years of success. For proof of this, all you have to do is tune into an episode and observe how hilarious Julia was at every turn. Alternatively, you could watch Seinfeld’s pilot in which Elaine Benes doesn’t appear since her character was created after that episode was filmed. Unsurprisingly, that episode simply doesn’t work the same way due to Louis-Dreyfus’ absence.

This is also seen in the money that Louis-Dreyfus made from the show. The breakdown of her salary over the years includes:

After Seinfeld came to an end, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander tried to find new sitcoms to star in but fans didn’t accept them in their new roles. While that doesn’t say anything bad about those two actors, Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s fans have remained loyal as she has found new roles. For example, from 2006 until 2010 she starred in The New Adventures of Old Christine and the show enjoyed a great deal of success.

Once The New Adventures of Old Christine came to an end, Julia Louis-Dreyfus hit gold once again when she agreed to star in Veep. Easily among the most acclaimed shows of the last decade, Veep was a huge hit with audiences and viewers alike. Since Veep was such a huge success and Julia was its main star, she managed to negotiate a $500,000 per episode deal to star in it, making millions in the process.
