Alyssa Milano, an American actress, producer, and singer, has accumulated a net worth of $4 million. Her career spans several decades, marked by notable roles in television series and films. While specific details regarding the breakdown of her net worth (e.g., income from music, endorsements, or business investments) are not publicly available, her acting career has been a primary source of income.
Career and Earnings
Milano’s career began at a young age. At seven years old, her babysitter took her to an audition for a national touring company of “Annie.” She was chosen for one of the four principal parts, beating out more than 1,500 other girls. While she was in the play, Milano and her mother traveled the United States with the touring company and were on the road for 18 months. Upon their return to New York, Milano began appearing in various television commercials, and also in different off-Broadway stage productions. Her early roles in commercials and stage productions paved the way for her breakthrough role in the sitcom “Who’s the Boss?” She starred on the show for eight seasons, until its end in 1992, for a total of 196 episodes.
In August 1984, at the age of 11, Milano made her film debut in the drama “Old Enough,” which won First Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Soon after, she landed the role of the daughter of Tony Danza’s character in “Who’s the Boss?”.
Beyond acting, Milano pursued a music career, securing a five-album record deal with a Japanese producer. She released four studio albums: “Look in My Heart” (1989), “Alyssa” (1989), “Locked Inside a Dream” (1991), and “Do You See Me?” (1992). Although she described her music as “bubblegum pop” and was critical of its quality, she achieved platinum status in Japan.
Her attempt to depart from the “nice girl” image established by “Who’s the Boss?” led her to appear in erotic films such as “Embrace of the Vampire” (1995) and “Deadly Sins” (1995), where she performed in nude scenes. From 1995 to 1998, Milano starred in seasons 5-7 of “Melrose Place” as the character Jennifer Mancini. After leaving “Melrose Place,” she joined the cast of “Charmed” as the character Phoebe Halliwell.
One of Milano’s most notable roles was as Phoebe Halliwell in the television series “Charmed,” which ran for eight seasons. At the peak of her time on “Charmed,” Alyssa earned $90,000 per episode, which worked out to around $2 million per season.
Financial Challenges and Real Estate
In 2017, Milano filed a lawsuit against a former business manager, alleging mismanagement that led to significant debt and financial strain. She claimed that the management company failed to competently perform their duties and allowed the costs of a home renovation to soar to $5 million. Milano further alleged that the manager failed to make payments to the IRS, leading to millions of dollars in penalties and unpaid taxes.
In the wake of these financial problems, Milano listed her West Hollywood condo for sale. She initially sought $2 million for the property. In October 2005, Alyssa paid $975,000 for a condo in West Hollywood, California. She and the business manager eventually reached an out-of-court settlement in June 2019, with the terms remaining undisclosed.
In 2001, Alyssa paid $1.6 million for a 7,700-square-foot home in Bell Canyon, California.
Personal Life
From 1987 to 1990, Milano was in a relationship with the actor Corey Haim, who struggled with addiction throughout their relationship. Supposedly, Milano and his manager tried unsuccessfully to get him professional help. In 1993, she became engaged to fellow actor Scott Wolf. However, they ended their engagement and separated just a year later. She revealed in 2019 that, despite being on birth control at the time, she had actually gotten pregnant with Wolf and undergone two abortions in 1993 while they were still together.
In 2008, Milano became engaged to David Bugliari, an agent at Creative Artists Agency, after a year of dating. They got married at Bugliari’s family home in August 2009. Together, they have two children: a son born in August 2011 and a daughter born in September 2014.
