Portia de Rossi Net Worth

Beautiful Portia de Rossi is famous for her role of Nelle Porter on Ally McBeal and also for her marriage to famous TV host Ellen DeGeneres. Portia is a very rich woman. Her 2015 net worth is estimated to be $20 million. It’s also unclear if there was any prenuptial agreement between her and Ellen. And that’s becoming more interesting question as rumors about possible divorce are filling front pages of tabloids recently.

De Rossi wasn’t rich when growing up in Australia. Her mother worked as medical receptionist and her father died when Portia was only nine years old. She worked as a model and in 1994 started her acting career in the movie Sirens. She played one of the nude models, alongside with Elle MacPherson. Later, Portia appeared on several TV shows, such as Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher, Ally McBeal, and Arrested Development. That boosted her net worth a lot. Yet, Ellen DeGeneres was still much richer when they dated and married.

Portia’s income in 2014 was fueled mostly by her appearance as Elizabeth North on TV series Scandal. And since Ellen and her were remodeling and flipping many real estates while in marriage it isn’t clear how the net worth will b split in the case that the divorce really takes place. Portia is also involved in many charitable causes. She supports Locks of Love, an African AIDS relief organisation, and also Alley Cat Allies. She’s vegan and very fond of animals.
