Her ‘View’ Earned Her A $60M Net Worth, But Whoopi Goldberg’s Daughter And Three Grandkids Are Creating Their Own
Today, Whoopi Goldberg may be known for being a firebrand on “The View” to some, but that barely scratches the surface.
Before she became a daytime talk show host, Whoopi Goldberg was one of the few actresses to become a coveted EGOT winner. Goldberg has taken home all of the industry’s coveted awards — and was, in fact, the first Black woman to do so, according to Vulture.

She’s also one of only three women performers to take home the Grammy for Best Comedy Record and was the first Black woman to take home the Mark Twain prize for humor (which she did in 2001, per Vulture).
