The combination of Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell, and Sofia Vergara is now in its fourth season, the longest that a panel of judges on the show has remained the same.
As the auditions process for season 18 begin to wind down and we enter the competitive live shows, let’s take a look at the massive careers of its four lead stars and how their net worths compare.
Howie Mandel Net Worth
Canadian comedian and actor Howie, 67, first came to prominence in the late 1970s for his work as a stand-up comedian and in local Canadian media.
He received his big break in 1982 when he landed the role of Dr. Wayne Fiscus in the NBC medical drama St. Elsewhere, playing the character till 1988. In 1990, he created, voiced, and starred in the Fox children’s cartoon Bobby’s World, which ran for eight seasons.
With a career in TV, film, and stand-up spanning over four decades, it’s no wonder Howie has accrued a net worth of $60 million, according to Celebritynetworth.com.
Sofia Vergara Net Worth
Colombian star Sofia, 51, first rose to prominence in Latin America as a model, making her on-screen debut in a Pepsi commercial at the age of 17.
While a few film roles throughout the early 2000s brought her steady work, she became a household name thanks to her role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on the smash ABC sitcom Modern Family, which ran for 11 seasons.
She has since accrued more work as a leading lady in film and TV, and has branched out into fashion with lucrative endorsements and clothing deals with KMart and Walmart.
Since joining AGT in 2020 (for which she makes $10 million per season, according to Forbes), her net worth has only grown exponentially, sitting pretty at a solid $180 million.
Heidi Klum Net Worth
German Heidi, 50, is one of the world’s leading supermodels, rising to superstardom with her appearance on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1998 and being named a Victoria’s Secret Angel.
If her multiple appearances on the cover of the world’s leading magazines and runways don’t count, then her stint on TV should, first appearing as the host of Project Runway in 2004 (which continued till 2017) and then as the producer and host of Germany’s Next Top Model in 2006 (till date).
