Comedian, actress, author, talk show host, and singer-songwriter, Whoopi Goldberg, claims she is struggling financially.
The comedian poverty-cried on The View this week as she complained that she is a ‘working person’ and her ‘kid has to feed her family.’
She stated that:
‘I appreciate that people are having a hard time, and me too. I work for a living.’
Whoopi went on to say; ‘If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here.’

Whoopi Goldberg’s struggling financially comment came as a surprise and instantly raised eyebrows with the remark because, according to Celebrity Net Worth, the comedian has an estimated net worth of $30 million.
Since her comment came off on Trump’s supporters, one critic of her rant argued that her attitude ‘is the whole problem with the Democrat elitist party.’
‘They think they are down with the struggle while being worth millions of dollars.’
Whoopi Goldberg has enjoyed a highly successful film career from the mid-1980s through the 1990s.
But in recent years, Whoopi has been working primarily as a television talk show host.
She won a Grammy in 1986 for Best Comedy Recording and an Academy Award in 1991 for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for “Ghost.”
In 2002, she won a Tony for Best Musical for “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and a Daytime Emmy for her work in “Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel.”
Those wins propel Whoopi’s status to the exclusive club of EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony).
Goldberg has made no secret of her millions in the past and drew headlines in 2018 when she put a stunning Pacific Palisades mansion on the market for $8.8 million, after buying it in 1994 for just $2.55 million.
The art deco home boasted an impressive, curved pool, five huge en-suite bathrooms and bedrooms, and views across the ocean.
Goldberg later moved to New Jersey to escape the hustle and bustle of New York City and purchased a sprawling $3 million mansion.
The estate covers 425 acres and features a pool and gym, while being close enough to the city for Goldberg to commute in for The View.
