Bette Midler built one of entertainment’s broadest careers: recording artist, concert headliner, film star, Broadway lead, producer and comedian. That range supports the scale of her fortune without making every box-office or catalog number personal income.
This profile replaces invented salary and residual totals with attributable evidence and keeps nonprofit finances separate. Net Worth VIP — methodology
01 / The rise
The Continental Baths and The Divine Miss M built an unconventional star
Midler developed her early cabaret persona at New York’s Continental Baths before signing with Atlantic Records.
Her 1972 debut The Divine Miss M won the Grammy for Best New Artist and established a career across pop, standards, comedy and live performance.
The breakthrough created a durable catalog, but public sales totals do not reveal her royalty rate or current ownership.
02 / Film and stage
The Rose, Beaches, Hocus Pocus and Broadway extended the same persona
The Rose brought Midler her first Academy Award nomination and tied her screen debut to a successful soundtrack.
Beaches and Wind Beneath My Wings became lasting cultural touchstones, while Hocus Pocus grew from a modest theatrical release into a franchise.
Her Tony-winning 2017 run in Hello, Dolly! proved her continued box-office power, but ticket gross is not performer take-home pay.
03 / The valuation
$200 million is the current outside estimate, without a public balance sheet
Celebrity Net Worth estimates Midler’s fortune at $200 million as of August 2026, below the old $250 million figure on this site.
Music royalties, film residuals, touring, Broadway, property and production work plausibly support substantial wealth.
No source itemizes her current catalog rights, contractual backends, liabilities, taxes or liquid assets, so an exact reconstruction is not possible.
The evidence, with its limits
| Measure | Public figure | What it actually means |
|---|---|---|
| Net worth | $200M estimate | Third-party estimate, not an audited filing. |
| Record sales | 30M+ reported | Consumer units, not current royalty income. |
| 2004–05 earnings | $31M estimated | Historic pretax flow, not present wealth. |
| NYRP 2025 revenue | $8.4M estimated | Nonprofit revenue, not Midler’s money. |
| NYRP 2025 expenses | $7.3M estimated | Nonprofit operating costs, not personal spending. |
04 / What she does now
A new Netflix role sits beside catalog activity and selective appearances
Netflix lists Midler in the voice cast of the 2026 animated comedy Steps.
Her official catalog remains active through reissues and digital releases, including a 2026 Japanese edition of The Rose soundtrack.
A proposed Hocus Pocus 3 remains development news rather than completed compensation, so no value is assigned to it.
05 / Family and public work
Martin von Haselberg, Sophie and three decades of urban restoration
Midler has been married to artist Martin von Haselberg since December 1984. Their only child, Sophie von Haselberg, is an actor.
She founded the New York Restoration Project in 1995 and remains listed as founder in its 2025 annual report.
NYRP’s revenue, expenses, gardens and parkland belong to the nonprofit and are never counted as Midler’s personal assets.
