Wiki Biography
Theresa Elizabeth Polo was born on 1 June1969, in Dover, Delaware, USA, and as Teri Polo, she is an actress perhaps best known for her appearances in such movies and television shows as “The West Wing”, “Meet the Parents”, “I’m With Her”, and “The Fosters”. During her career Teri has been nominated for and has won various awards. Some of them include, Blockbuster Entertainment Award, Screen Actors Guild Award among others.
If you consider how rich Teri Polo is, it can be said that sources estimate Teri’s net worth to be $800,000, however, there is some doubt over the real state of her financial affairs, as she filed for bankruptcy in 2014. Of course, before that Teri’s net worth was a lot higher and the main source of this was her career as an actor. Despite all of her problems, Teri is still continuing her career and there is a chance that her net worth will become higher.
Teri Polo Net Worth -$800,000
When Teri was only five years old she began attending ballet classes and later studied at the School of American Ballet. When she was a teenager, Teri decided to participate in a modelling contest which she was able to win. After this, Teri became interested in acting and decided to pursue this career, which began in 1986, when she was cast in a small role in the television show, “Loving”. In 1988 she was cast in “TV 101”; this was the time when Teri’s net worth began growing. In 1991 Teri acted in her first movie, called “Born to Ride”, which considerably boosted her net worth. In 1994 Polo became a part of the television show, called “Northern Exposure”, in which she had an opportunity to work with such actors as Rob Morrow, Janine Turner, John Corbett, Elaine Miles among others. In 2000 Teri starred in one of the main roles in the movie called “Meet the Parents”, which became one of her most famous career roles. Undoubtedly, it had a huge impact on the growth of Teri Polo’s net worth. Later she appeared in this movie’s sequels: “Meet the Fockers” and “Little Fockers”.
Other movies that Teri has appeared in include, “The Unsaid”, “Beyond Borders”, “Full of It”, “Beyond”, “Authors Anonymous” and others. All these appearances added a lot to Teri’s net worth. Overall, it can be said that Teri has worked on more than 80 productions, although starring roles have been few and far between in the recent past, partly because of personal problems.
If to talk about Teri’s personal life, it can be said that in 1997 she married Anthony Moore, but their marriage ended in 2005; and they have one child. In 2006 Teri started a relationship with Jamie Wollam, with whom she also has one child; they separated in 2012. Her financial problems are attributed variously to her nude photo shoot for ‘Playboy’ magazine in 2006, which supposedly was not well regarded by powers in the entertainment industry. Then to the divorce settlement involving Anthony Moore. Most recently, she is said to have devoted a lot of time to her sons. As of late 2015, her debts are said to include over $700,000 in taxes. Hopefully Teri will be able to come through these difficulties and resume her acting career with success.
