So just how wealthy is Helen Reddy? Sources state that Reddy has amassed a fortune of over $3 million, as of early 2017, the main source of her wealth being her career in showbiz which began in the early ‘70s.

Helen grew up in Melbourne, where she attended Tintern Grammar school. Her career in the entertainment industry began when she was only four years old, performing at the Tivoli Theatre in Perth, Australia with her parents, and then embarking on many national tours with them.

After that proved unsuccessful, she decided to stay in the USA and pursue a singing career, soon meeting her future manager and husband Jeff Wald who got her a record deal with Capitol Records. This resulted in her first hit single, the 1971 “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” from the Broadway musical “Jesus Christ Superstar”. Her popularity began to grow and her net worth started to increase too.

The following year she released the song “I Am Woman”, which she co-wrote with Peter Allen. After a slow start, it found its way to the top of the charts, eventually reaching No. 1.

In 1981 Reddy left Capitol and signed with MCA Records, going on to release two albums under the label, achieving one minor success with the single “I Can’t Say Goodbye to You”. As for television, the ’80s saw her appearing in series such as “The Love Boat”, “Fantasy Island” and “The Jeffersons”, and in the film “Disorderlies”. After a significant chart decline, she performed infrequently.

By the beginning of the next decade Helen had turned to musical theater, appearing in numerous productions both on Broadway and in London’s West End, such as in “Blood Brothers”, “Shirley Valentine”, “Anything Goes”, “Call Me Madam” and “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”. All added to her net worth.The year 2000 saw Reddy appearing in the TV series “Diagnosis: Murder” and “Beast Master”, but ywo years later she retired from performing, and became a clinical hypnotherapist in Australia.

Meanwhile, she released her autobiography “The Woman I Am”, and also appeared in the film “The Perfect Host”, and had a recurring role in the TV series “Family Guy”. Then in 2012, she returned to touring and recording, but retiring again in 2015.
