What is Ellen Pompeo's net worth?

Pompeo's entire net worth, as reported by CelebrityNetWorth, is $80 million. According to Forbes, the actress received $550,000 per episode for the part in addition to an additional $6 million per year from her cut of the syndication income. The actress earlier admitted, "I was considering accepting the role after being offered it. Being on a TV show worried me since you have to sign contracts for six years. And I had only ever worked on movies at the time. I had never worked on television. So it was a little unsettling to consider spending six years on a TV show. My agent then advised me to simply complete the pilot and get money. These things never change, according to stylecaster.com. Pompeo wrote on her Instagram handle as she parted ways with the team of 'Grey Anatomy', "I am eternally grateful and humbled by the love and support you have all shown me, Meredith GREY and the show for 19 seasons! Through it all….none of it …would have been possible without the best fans in the world. You all are RIDERS and you all have made the ride so fun and ICONIC!!"
