What exactly is Drew Barrymore’s 2023 net worth? And, what are people saying about her apology? Keep reading for the scoop!
Drew Barrymore Commits Career Suicide
A few weeks ago, Drew Barrymore was easily one of the Internet’s favorite talk show hosts. She was also just a well-liked celebrity in general. People on TikTok fell in love with the TV personality for all her “raw” and “real” video updates. Most agreed she made herself relatable to people instead of hanging over everyone with celebrity status.
beautiful day to remember that drew barrymore has a net worth in excess of $125 million and could easily just pay her crew through the strike but has chosen to continue filming because she has none of the virtues she claims to represent Lol https://t.co/dLKPExQY4G

Sadly, however, most agree she has just committed career suicide. She made the controversial decision to bring her talk show back amid the ongoing strikes. Drew Barrymore owns her decision and insists she will be in compliance with WGA strike rules.
Apologizes While Owning Her Decision
As TV Shows Ace previously reported, Drew Barrymore did issue an apology. She, however, would not go back on her decision. Moreover, she insisted her apology was not some PR protection stunt. She just wanted to apologize to anyone hurt by her decision. She did not intend to hurt people. Drew Barrymore, however, had a whole crew of people who needed to get back to work so they could get their paychecks. And, she was making this decision for them.
Drew Barrymore and Bill Maher could easily pay crew salaries out of their own pockets. They’re choosing not to.

Drew Barrymore’s 2023 Net Worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Drew Barrymore is estimated to have a net worth of $125M. Moreover, chatter on social media suggests she has a few pieces of real estate that are each worth several million dollars. Given just how much money the talk show host is worth, fans of her just aren’t buying that she had no other options for paying her crew.
.@DrewBarrymore @DrewBarrymoreTV So disappointed in you. I've followed your career for decades, a career made possible by the very people on strike now. You are worth hundreds of millions. We don't *need* your show. You could pay these salaries easily. You have clout. Be a hero. https://t.co/xqqIK3hw9G

Internet Reacts To Her Apology
On Twitter, many agree it is “wild” that Drew Barrymore was a beloved actress and talk show host two weeks ago. Then, she committed career suicide for “seemingly no reason.” Many have also called attention to the fact that she issued an apology, but didn’t actually change anything. So, they question how sorry she really is if she’s still moving forward with releasing new episodes of her show.
WGA / SAG have been without pay for 5 months. Bill Maher and Drew Barrymore could take 5 months of their salaries and pay their crew for years!
They say they’re bringing back their show in order to pay their crew, but the truth is.. they’re paying the producers.#SAGAFTRAstrike
