Despite the controversy and her abrupt exit from the 'Roseanne' reboot in 2018, Roseanne Barr continues to thrive. Her recent headline-making interview with RFK Jr. has brought her back into the spotlight, though the bizarre association with a presidential candidate who once mentioned having a worm in his brain is just one of many twists in her eclectic career.

Roseanne's journey to fame began as a stand-up comedian, leading to her iconic role on 'Roseanne,' a sitcom that humorously depicted a working-class family in the Midwest. Over the years, her career has experienced significant highs and lows.
Known initially for her sharp humor and quick wit, Roseanne also attracted attention for her outspoken views on politics and current events. Notably, she even made a brief foray into politics, seeking the Green Party nomination before running as the left-wing candidate for the Peace and Freedom Party in the 2012 presidential race.
Given her eventful career, one might wonder about her financial standing. Despite her cancellation in 2018, Roseanne remains financially robust. Her net worth, as of 2024, is estimated to be around $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This comes despite the backlash from her racist tweets about former presidential senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, which led to the cancellation of the 'Roseanne' revival.

While the specific earnings from her time on 'Roseanne' remain undisclosed, it's believed she pocketed up to $21 million from the show's final season. Beyond television, Roseanne has remained active in the comedy circuit. Her recent stand-up performance at LOL San Antonio saw impressive attendance, with one of the three scheduled dates selling out, as she shared on her social media account. Tickets were priced around $55 each before taxes and fees.
Post-'Roseanne,' Roseanne has returned to her comedy roots, featuring in shows like 'Cancel This' on Fox Nation and lending her voice to the adult animated series 'Mr. Birchum.' Despite 'Roseanne' being rebranded to 'The Conners' and removing her character, rumors of her return have been quashed. Nevertheless, Roseanne Barr has carved out a successful path independent of the ABC sitcom, showcasing her resilience and enduring appeal in the entertainment industry.
