By the Alux Research Team. How we estimate net worth

Kelly Ripa’s net worth is estimated at $125 million as of October 2026. Ripa has co-hosted the daily talk show Live since 2001, and the wealth comes mainly from a reported annual salary of about $22 million, plus her production company Milojo, endorsements, a podcast and real estate.

How much is Kelly Ripa worth in 2026?

We estimate Kelly Ripa at about $125 million. Public figures cluster near $120 million, and our own build for 2026 lands a little above it. No network has published her pay, so the number is an estimate with a margin of error.

The anchor is the daily show. Ripa has co-hosted Live since February 2001, first with Regis Philbin, then Michael Strahan, Ryan Seacrest and, since April 2023, her husband Mark Consuelos. Her pay is widely reported at around $22 million annually, which compares with figures of about $20 million for Philbin and $10 million for Seacrest. Twenty-five years at that level adds up, even after taxes and costs.

The rest comes from Milojo Productions, which she founded in 2007 with Consuelos, from spokesperson deals and from real estate, including a New York townhouse bought for $27 million in 2013. Together these support a total in the $100 million to $145 million range, and we keep the middle.
