According to sources it has been estimated that Alex Borstein’s net worth is $24 million, as of mid-2016, acquired by voicing and portraying various roles in films and TV series since the early nineties. Since she is still active in the entertainment industry, so her net worth continues to grow.
Alex was raised in Deerfield, Illinois as the youngest of three children in the Borstein family. She is Jewish, plus her mother was from Hungary.

Alexandrea Borstein Quotes
- Television and film acting is really fun because you are working with other people and you are not completely responsible for the outcome of the project.
- Usually, impersonations come out of something you dig, because you’re listening to it over and over. And you kind of start developing… You’re really trying to emulate them, then you realize, ‘I sound ridiculous doing this. Oh, hey, maybe this is a funny impersonation.’
- Every comic is really a frustrated rock star.
- I got my degree in rhetoric.
- I have no point in my system or morals where I say, ‘This is too far.’
- I think I was born because my parents had two boys and wanted to give it one more go and try for a girl… they got me instead.
