All you need to know about the fortune of Alyssa Milano

As of October 2023, the 51-year-old Alyssa Milano has an estimated net worth of $10 million, most of which were acquired from her role in the 1990s TV series Charmed. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she earned roughly $90,000 per episode for the show, which meant around $2 million per season.

Alyssa, who began her acting career at the age of 11 in 1984 with the film Old Enough, rose to fame with the ABC sitcom Who’s the Boss where she played the character of Tony Danza, for 8 seasons and 196 episodes, acquiring millions of dollars in the process.

Some of her other projects that added to her wealth include sitcoms such as Romantically Challenged, Mistresses, Insatiable, and Melrose Place; and films such as Hall Pass, My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend, Commando (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger), Crash Course, Dance til’ Dawn, and Where the Day Takes You among others.

She also appeared in several erotic movies including Embrace the Vampire and Deadly Sins to earn her fortune and remove her “nice girl” image of Who’s the Boss.

Later, she also performed on stage in productions of Wendy Wasserstein’s Tender Offer, John O’Keefe’s All Night Long, Butterflies are Free, and a few more. Apart from her acting career, she also earned a huge part of her fortune from her music gigs, and ended up releasing several studio albums including Look in My Heart, Alyssa, Locked Inside A Dream, and Do You See Me.

Often dubbed as “bubblegum pop” by herself, Alyssa Milano’s music became quite popular overseas, especially in Japan where it received platinum on the charts. She also worked as a producer, such as for the famous teen workout video Teen Steam and the final season of her TV show Charmed to expand her wealth.

Notably, Alyssa Milano is married to a wealthy agent David Bugliari at Creative Artists Agency whom she married in August 2009. The Brooklyn native also inherited money from her Italian-American parents, her father Thomas Milano who was a film music editor, and her mother Lin Milano who was a fashion designer and talent manager.

While Alyssa Milano made a lot of money throughout her career, she reportedly also lost some, when her business manager and accountant left her in debt. While she sued both of them for millions of dollars, she only managed to get back a portion of it. As a result, she put her West Hollywood condo up for sale for $2 million. Regardless, she alone is said to be the owner of $10 million.
