As well as from her TV work, the star has also made her fortune through partnerships with various companies over the years, including Pantene and TD Bank, and in 2007, she set up a production company with her husban Mark Consuelos, Milojo, which is named after their three children – Michael, Lola, and Joaquin.
What is Kelly Ripa's net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Live with Kelly and Mark star is currently worth an estimated $120 million, while her husband Mark is worth $40 million. This makes their household worth a staggering $160 million.

Other roles have included Riverdale, Ugly Betty, Homemade Millionaire, and Dance Party USA.

Kelly demonstrated this once on an episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan while telling the story of how she shut down one of her daughter's debit cards after noticing she was spending more than the 52-year-old considered acceptable on the delivery app Postmates.
"She would order the $7 salad, but it would cost $25 to have it delivered three blocks in New York City," Kelly explained.
She also stressed how she felt the spending was doubly unacceptable as the couple had "signed her up for a meal plan because we’re not monsters," meaning Lola should be able to have got her food at college.

Speaking to Bustle in 2021, she looked back on her time working on All My Children and had this to say: "I watched my husband who had no acting experience when he got his job at All My Children, much the same way I had no acting experience.

"But I got my job in 1990 and I think he got his job in [1995]. And he was paid more than me immediately. It was immediate. I just couldn't believe how quickly they were willing to pay the man more than the woman."

Still, the show continued a little differently from before, as episodes were recorded without their usual studio audience, and Kelly and Ryan had to host while remaining six feet apart.
The mother-of-three hosted the programme from her holiday home in the Caribbean for some of the coronavirus lockdown, but returned to New York when it was safe to do so.

In January 2022, the show briefly returned to being broadcast from Kelly and Ryan's own homes as a result of a rise in Covid cases in New York. While most restrictions have now been removed, the show is still yet to return to having a live studio audience at its recordings.
© GettyIn the past, Kelly was making approximately $17 million per season, but she was recently given a pay rise, putting her salary at $20 million a year. Celebrity Net Worth suggests Kelly's current salary is $22 million dollars, but it's unclear how much of this comes from her time hosting Live! or other commitments.
