Actor Sutton Foster is mainly known for the characters she plays. During her lengthy entertainment career, the stage and screen darling has conquered Broadway, film, and television without too much real-life drama coming her way. However, as one of Sutton's iconic Broadway shows states, Anything Goes.
In October 2024, the actor made headlines after she divorced her husband, Ocean's Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin, after 10 years of marriage. The divorce was made public after rumors swirled that Sutton had begun dating her The Music Man co-star, Hugh Jackman.
As the actor's divorce proceedings continue, many wonder how much she's earned from her multiple accolades. Let's dive into Sutton's net worth.
What is Sutton Foster's net worth?
Sutton's current net worth is $4 million. Her income stems from years of singing, acting, and dancing.
Though she started performing in shows during the 1990s. Sutton landed her big break on Broadway in 2002 with the original cast of Thoroughly Modern Millie. The role landed her critical acclaim and earned her her first Tony Award in 2002. Sutton continued building her Broadway with Shrek The Musical and the revival of Anything Goes.
In 2007, she set her sights on television and accepted roles on Johnny and the Sprites, Law & Order: SVU, and Sesame Street. Sutton received a leading TV role in 2015 when she starred in TV Land's Younger alongside Hilary Duff. When Younger wrapped in 2021, she returned to her Broadway roots, starring in The Music Man in 2021 and Once Upon a Mattress in 2024.
As if Sutton doesn't have enough on her plate, she decided to give back and teach in her spare time. In 2010, she taught a theatre masterclass at Ball State University and has been connected with the school ever since. The school gave Sutton an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts degree in 2012 after she spoke at the school's commencement.
