Kirstie Alley is a famous comedian and actress. She is known for her roles in such movies and television shows as “Look Who’s Talking”, “Cheers”, “Shoot to Kill”, “David’s Mother” and others. During her career as an actress, Kirstie has been nominated for and has won various awards, for example the Golden Globe Award, the Primetime Emmy Award, the American Television Award, Kid’s Choice Award and others.
So how rich is Kirstie Alley? It has been estimated that Alley’s net worth is $30 million. It is quite a big sum of money which might also become even higher in the future.
Kirstie Lousie Alley, known simply as Kirstie Alley, was born in 1951 in Kansas. Kirstie studied at Wichita Southeast High School and later continued her studies at Kansas State Univeristy. After graduation, Kirstie appeared on TV game shows: “Password Plus” and “Match Game”. In 1982 she got her first role, in the movie called “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”. It of course added to Kirstie Alley’s net worth and made her more noticeable in the industry. Five years later, Alley appeared in the popular show entitled “Cheers”. There she met Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, George Wendt, Shelley Long and others. In 1989 she had a huge success with the movie, “Looks Who’s Talking”, which had a huge impact on Alley’s net worth as well.
Kirstie then acted and worked as an executive producer on the show called “Veronica’s Closet”. Other movies and television shows in which she appeared include “Champions”, “It Takes Two”, “For Richer or Poorer”, “Peter and the Wolf”, “The Last Don” and others. All these appearances have added to Kirstie Alley’s net worth. In addition to this, Kirstie participated in “Dancing with the Stars”, with her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. They were very successful in this competition and were able to take second place, which made Kirstie even more famous and also added to her net worth.
Totalk about her personal life, Kirstie was married twice, but both of her marriages ended in divorce. Alley has two children from her second marriage. Alley has also had some problems with weight gain, and even launched Organic Liaison, which helped her to lose weight. She is also a member of the Church of Scientology and participates in its activities.
Finally, it could be said that Kirstie Alley is a very experienced actress. During her career, she has acted in many movies and television shows and now her face is recognized almost everywhere. Although Alley is 63 years old, she is still continuing her career as an actress and will probably appear in more projects in the future. If this happens, there is no doubt that Kirstie’s net worth will become even higher. Let’s hope that exactly this will happen in the near future.

1 | The only thing you can ever be in life is yourself because that's the only thing someone else can't be. |
2 | [on falling in love with John Travolta] Believe me, it took everything that I had inside, outside, whatever, to not run off and marry John and be with John for the rest of my life. He was the greatest love of my life. |
3 | Seems like when we cease to inspire... we cease. |

7 | When push comes to shove, it ain't science that's going to lift you up. It's the belief, the spiritual side of life that's going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are. |
8 | I don't like psychiatry. I don't believe it works. I believe psychiatrists are neurotic or psychotic, for the most part. |
9 | I always feel like there is some dude out there with money that I could fall back on if I needed to. |
