What Is Camille Grammer’s Net Worth?
Camille Grammer, now known as Camille Meyer, boasts a substantial net worth estimated at $50 million. This financial standing reflects her multifaceted career as an American actress, dancer, model, and reality television personality. Unlike some of her reality TV counterparts, Camille entered the scene with an already established profile, primarily known for her former marriage to Kelsey Grammer, the acclaimed actor from “Cheers” and “Frasier.”
Before her foray into reality television, Camille Grammer carved out a career in the entertainment industry. During the 1980s, Camille gained recognition as a dancer on “Club MTV.” She spent several years performing with a dance group at Tavern on the Green in New York City and appeared in a number of music videos. Camille’s modeling career took off in the 90s after she posed in “Playboy’s” Book of Lingerie. Camille also had some minor roles in mainstream films such as, “Private Parts” and “Deconstructing Harry.” She even guest-starred in one episode of “Frasier.” She met actor Kelsey Grammer in 1996, and they were married in 1997 in Malibu, California. They share two children, both born via a surrogate mother.
Camille’s acting roles also include appearances in R-rated erotic films such as “Marilyn Chambers’ Bedtime Stories,” “New York Nights,” and “The Naked Detective.” While these roles contributed to her early career, her marriage to Kelsey Grammer significantly expanded her involvement in the entertainment industry through Grammnet Productions.
Grammnet Productions and Camille’s Financial Role
During her marriage to Kelsey Grammer, Camille became a part-owner of Grammnet Productions. This role allowed her to contribute as a creator, producer, and writer for several successful television shows, including “Girlfriends,” “Medium,” and “The Game.” These projects added to Camille Grammer’s net worth over time.
Grammnet Productions, co-owned by Camille, produced a number of TV shows from the late ’90s through 2010s, including “The Game,” “Girlfriends,” and “Medium.”
Divorce Settlement and Real Estate Investments
Camille’s divorce from Kelsey Grammer in 2011 resulted in a significant settlement. Reports indicate that Camille received between $30 and $50 million in cash and property as part of the divorce agreement. The settlement considerably bolstered her financial standing and enabled her to make further investments, particularly in real estate.
In October 2019, Camille and David Meyer acquired a mansion in Brentwood Park, Los Angeles, for $5.85 million. Before this, during her marriage to Kelsey, the couple owned multiple properties in Los Angeles. As part of their divorce settlement, Camille obtained a Beverly Hills mansion, which she later sold for $13 million in 2016.
In 2012, Camille listed their former Malibu mansion for sale, initially asking $18 million before accepting $13 million in November 2015. Additionally, in 2013, she sold their former vacation home in Beaver Creek, Colorado, for $6.6 million.
Camille Grammer continued to invest in real estate, purchasing a home in Malibu for $3.2 million in 2015. Unfortunately, this property was destroyed in the 2018 Woolsey fire. Undeterred, she acquired another Malibu home in 2016 for $6.5 million. In January 2024, Camille sold this untouched Malibu mansion for $9.4 million, further solidifying her financial gains through real estate transactions.
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and Subsequent Ventures
Camille’s appearance on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” starting in 2010 elevated her public profile and indirectly contributed to her financial opportunities. The show provided a platform for increased visibility, leading to further appearances and endorsements. While the exact earnings from the show are not publicly disclosed, the exposure it provided undoubtedly played a role in maintaining and growing Camille Grammer’s net worth.
An “RHOBH” episode on January 13, 2011, where she revealed that her husband wanted out of their marriage, outranked all cable competition in its timeslot and was the #1 telecast among adults 18-49. It was also the highest-rated episode of the season among all viewers. The episode of “Watch What Happens Live” that featured Grammer as a guest after the show, outperformed all late night cable talk shows that night.
In 2011, Camille had a guest-starring role on the season finale of the CBS sitcom “$#*! My Dad Says,” playing a recently divorced reality star named Camille. She has also made other appearances at events, like co-hosting the “Showbiz Tonight” special on CNN live from the Academy Awards in Los Angeles, and she presented at the 2011 NHL Awards in Las Vegas.
