Harry Connick, Jr. is an American singer, pianist, composer, conductor, actor, and "American Idol" judge who has a net worth of $45 million. Harry Connick Jr. is known for his contributions to jazz, pop, and big band music. He gained widespread recognition in the late 1980s with his multi-platinum-selling albums, such as "When Harry Met Sally…" (1989), which featured his jazz interpretations of classic standards. Over his career, he has sold over 28 million albums worldwide and won three Grammy Awards, primarily for his work in jazz and big band music. With 13 #1 jazz albums in the U.S., Harry holds the distinction of having the most #1 albums of any artist on the U.S. jazz charts.
Beyond music, Connick Jr. has established himself as an actor, starring in films such as "Hope Floats" (1998) and "Dolphin Tale" (2011) and appearing in television series like "Will & Grace," where he had a recurring role. He has also worked as a Broadway performer and composer, notably in "The Pajama Game."
In addition to his music and acting career, he served as a judge on "American Idol" (2014–2016) and hosted "Harry," his own syndicated daytime talk show from 2016 to 2018. Known for his New Orleans roots, he has been an active philanthropist, particularly in post-Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
Real Estate
In 1998, Harry and his wife Jill paid $1.54 million for a 4.61-acre property in New Canaan, Connecticut. Soon after purchasing the property, the couple performed a major renovation on the 1890s-era 7-bedroom, 11,600-square-foot house. They listed this home for sale in 2017 for $7.5 million. They ultimately sold it for $5.4 million in July 2018. In 2013 they paid $4 million for a new mansion set on 10 acres in New Canaan. Today, this home is worth around $8 million.
In 2006, they paid $5.3 million for a waterfront mansion in the Cape Cod town of Chatham, Massachusetts. The 1.3-acre estate, which is located on Oyster Pond, features a 5,300-square-foot home. Most importantly, the home features a rare private dock. The permitting process for new docks is so onerous that it has been estimated that a private dock could add $1 million worth of value to a property. The Connicks listed this home for sale in May 2024 for $12.5 million.
