What is Ellen Pompeo’s net worth?

Due to her successful acting career, Pompeo has been one of the highest paid actors in the world since 2017.

That title didn’t come without a fight, however, and while she might have been the star of Grey’s Anatomy, she wasn’t always the highest-paid actress on set.

Patrick Dempsey, who portrayed Derek Shepherd, was reported to be making more than her, and when she asked for a raise, the producers declined.

It wasn’t until Dempsey was killed off the show in 2015 that Pompeo was able to argue for more money.

Now she’s earning a salary of $20 million for her role as Dr. Grey, which adds to her $80 million net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Why did Ellen Pompeo Leave Grey’s Anatomy?

At the beginning of season 19, Pompeo announced that she would have a limited role because she wanted to explore other acting opportunities.

Shortly thereafter, however, she announced that she was leaving the show completely.

“I am infinitely grateful and humbled by the love and support you have shown me, Meredith GRAY and the show over the past 19 seasons,” Pompeo wrote in an Instagram post.

“Through all of this… none of this… would have been possible without the best fans in the world. You are all DRIVERS and you all made the ride so fun and iconic.

“I love you madly and appreciate you immediately. This isn’t your first time on the roller coaster…you know the show has to go on.”

While Pompeo may be leaving the role, she gave fans hope that she might return in the future.

“I will definitely come back to visit them,” she added.

On the show, Dr. Gray finally leaves Seattle and the Gray Sloan Memorial and makes her way to her new home in Boston.

It’s currently unclear why Pompeo decided to leave, but fans speculate the reasoning stems from her decision to pursue other acting gigs.

is Ellen Pompeo married?

When Pompeo is not on set, she can often be found at home spending time with her family.

She has been married to music producer Chris Ivery since 2007.

The couple have three children together, Eli Christopher, Stella Luna and Sienna May.
