What is Drea de Matteo's Net Worth?
In August 2023, Drea stunned the worldwhen she launched an OnlyFans account. As she would later explain, she opened the account out of financial necessity. Drea would actually go so far as to say that OnlyFans "saved her life" after various personal struggles left her with only $10 in her bank account. Drea has suffered from a number of setbacks after "The Sopranos" ended. Most notably, in 2015, her New York City apartment was destroyed in a gas explosion. She has reportedly been fighting with insurance companies ever since to get reimbursed. When COVID struck, she refused to get vaccinated, which she claims blackballed or simply prevented her from receiving mainstream acting roles. Finally, she has also been supporting a parent who suffers from dementia.
While trying to pursue acting after the completion of her studies, de Matteo opened a clothing store in the East Village of the city called Filth Mart. The store sold vintage and rock music-inspired designs and was the brainchild of de Matteo's then-boyfriend and a couple of his friends, all of whom had worked as clothing buyers at various New York City vintage stores. De Matteo also worked as a designer for the store, creating her own line of custom t-shirts that were sold in the store and featured in a number of fashion publications, such as Elle. The store was initially successful but later closed in 2004.
Drea de Matteo is an American television actress who has a net worth of $4 million. Drea de Matteo has starred in a number of successful television series, including "The Sopranos" (for which she won an Emmy), "Desperate Housewives," "Joey," and "Sons of Anarchy." She also played starring or supporting roles in films such as "Swordfish," "Prey for Rock and Roll," and "Assault on Precinct 13".
De Matteo attended the Loyola School for High School, a Jesuit co-ed school on the Upper East Side in New York City. She then enrolled at New York University with the intention of becoming a film director. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in film production from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts while also studying acting at the HB Studio.
In 2022, Drea sold a home in East Hampton that her parents custom-built in 1992 for $3.1 million. That same year, she listed the LA home she had owned since 2004 for $3.6 million. She did not find a buyer, pulled the listing, and still owns this home today.
De Matteo was born on January 19, 1972, in the borough of Queens in New York City. She has Italian ancestry and was raised in a Roman Catholic household. Drea has two brothers, Darren and Joe. Her father, Albert, was a furniture manufacturer and owner and CEO of the company Avery Boardman and Carlyle, a custom furniture shop in New York. Her mother, Donna, was a playwright who also was a faculty member at HB Studio, a non-profit performing arts training center, as a professor of playwrighting.
