Nancy Cartwright Net Worth $60 Million
When she was 21 years old, Cartwright moved to Los Angeles and studied at UCLA, but really moved in order to focus on voice acting, and took classes along with Daws Butler. Richie Rich is considered to be her debut in voice acting. She also ‘appeared’ in “Marian Rose White” and “Twilight Zone: The Movie”, which added a solid sum to Nancy Cartwright’s net worth. Nancy also voiced the character named Chuckie Finster of “Rugrats”.
In 2000, Nancy Cartwright’s net worth was increased with My Life as a Ten Year Old Boy, Nancy`s autobiographical book, which includes stories about her career, especially the one related to her voice acting in The Simpsons, and naturally is also a book about her personal life. In 2004, her book was adapted into a one-woman play, performed by Nancy at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Nancy`s other film credits include such movies as “My Little Pony: The Movie” (1986), “The Little Mermaid” (1989), “Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland” (1989), “Godzilla” (1998), “The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock” (1998), “Wakko`s Wish” (1999), and “Kim Possible: The Secret Files” (2003).
However, there is no doubt that the largest contribution to Nancy Cartwright’s net worth has come from the longest-running TV show ever, “The Simpsons’, which debuted in 1989 and is still being aired. Apart from Bart, Nancy has been the voice of other characters too, for example, Kearney, Database, Nelson Muntz, Todd Flanders and Ralph Wiggum. Actually, Nancy was first seeking to voice Lisa Simpson, but then she changed her mind. For voicing Bart, Nancy has received a few awards, for example the Annie Award as well as the Primetime Emmy Award and the Drama-Logue Award.
Nancy Cartwright’s net worth has grown withthe long list of credits from such TV series and shows as “Skokie”, “Deadly Lessons”, “Saturday Supercade”, “ABC Weekend Special”, “Not My Kid”, “Cheers”, “Pound Puppies, “Dink”,”The Little Dinosaur”, “Raw Toonage”, “Problem Child”, “The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat”, “Futurama”, Disney Channel Games among many others. These mentioned TV series are only a few in which Nancy Cartwright ‘appeared’ as either an actress or a voice artist. Undoubtedly, these have helped Nancy considerably in accumulating the total amount of her net worth.
Nancy Cartwright’s personal life is also very interesting. From 1988 to 2002 she was married to writer Warren Murphy. The couple has two children, named Lucy and Jack. From 2007 Nancy was dating contractor Stephen Brackett, and the couple planned to marry, however, Stephen died in 2009.
