Here's How Much Katherine Heigl Is Really Worth

Katherine Heigl found fame on the hit show Grey's Anatomy, where she was a fan favorite while playing Izzie Stevens. According to IMDb, Heigl first found fame at the age of 9 when her aunt sent pictures of her into a modeling agency. Wilhelmina, one of the top modeling agencies and renowned for its international firm, signed Heigl on the spot, where her big break came in the form of a Cheerios commercial. According to the database, Heigl's first lead role was in the Disney movie Wish Upon A Star in 1996.

Soon after her high school graduation, the blonde took her ambition and moved to Los Angeles, where she fully committed to an aspiring actress' lifestyle. Thanks to her mother's intuition, Heigl decided to branch out into TV, where she nabbed a part on Roswell, a popular series where she played Isabel Evans. This part would change the course of Heigl's career forever.

Celebrity Net Worth lists Katherine Heigl with a net worth of $30 million. Not only is she an Emmy Award-winning actress and producer, but she is a mother as well. Avid movie lovers will remember that Heigl made a name for herself in the rom-com department in the late 2000s with 2007's Knocked Up, 2008's 27 Dresses, and 2009's The Ugly Truth.

At the height of her career, Heigl was one of the highest-paid actresses in the business — on the small and big screen. After earning $6 million for both 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth, her salary doubled to $12 million in 2010 for Killers, an action-comedy co-starring Ashton Kutcher. In 2012, One for the Money earned her a career-high deal of $15 million. According to the outlet, the starlet also has money in real estate thanks to her Los Angeles home which was sold for $2.6 million.

Katherine Heigl struck TV gold in 2005 thanks to producer Shonda Rhimes casting her in Grey's Anatomy. Two years later, Heigl won her first and only Emmy Award: the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens. The part made Heigl an instant star and it didn't take long for film roles to follow.

However, stardom also came with a high cost and helped with her rapid downfall of popularity amongst the show's loyal viewers. In a move that still shocks Grey's Anatomy fans to their core today, Heigl pulled out of Emmys contention in 2008 and made a statement that read, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention" (via The New York Times).

Fans everywhere felt like Heigl had just bitten the hand that fed her all those years, essentially turning her back on the show and its creators (via NZME). Even her fellow co-stars couldn't forgive her for her outburst, essentially causing a massive rift.

While Katherine Heigl is still considered a Hollywood A-lister, she has taken time away from the spotlight to concentrate on her personal life. Celebrity Net Worth revealed she married Josh Kelley in December of 2007 after the couple met years earlier during the filming of his music video "Only You," which she appeared in. The couple supports adoption and has adopted two daughters of their own: Naleigh from South Korea in 2009 and Adelaide from the United States in 2012. Heigl also gave birth to their son, Joshua, in 2016.

The mother of three enjoys giving back to her community, and with the help of her own mother, she helped found the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, named in honor of her brother who died when they were younger. The foundation is an animal welfare charity. For her hard work, the actress was awarded the ASPCA's Presidential Service Award in 2010 (per Digital Spy). She was honored by the American Cancer Society and the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute in 2012 (via CCAI).

As for her career, even though it may have been a tough couple of years, fans are hoping for a redemption story since Heigl always delivered on her end of the deal when it came to high-quality performances.
