How Much Was She Worth When She Died?

Ultimately, starring in projects alongside the likes of Bruce Willis, Kim Basinger, Michael Douglas, and Eminem allowed Brittany Murphy to build a sizable net worth. At the time of her death, Murphy was estimated to be worth $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Murphy died in the California house that she had purchased from pop star Britney Spears in 2003 for $3.85 million. The Hollywood Reporter detailed that Murphy's husband Simon Monjack had called the bathroom where she ultimately died her "comfort zone." She used that space to journal, listen to music, and embrace her large collection of perfumes and cosmetics. Ultimately, however, she had reportedly grown to hate the house and there had been a plan in the works to sell it and move with her husband and mother, Sharon Murphy, to New York.

Despite a net worth of about $10 million at the time of her death, Murphy died during a rough time in her career. Rumors about personal issues had swirled and reportedly led to her being dropped from the film Happy Feet 2, per THR. She hadn't had a major movie role in about five years, and she had apparently hoped that New York could provide a fresh start. Sadly, she never had the chance to embrace that opportunity.
