Marie Osmond Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Marie Osmond’s Net Worth and Salary?

With a net worth of $10 million, American actress and singer Marie Osmond is well-recognized. Her association with her family’s music group, the Osmonds, is likely what she is most famously known for. Despite not being an official member of this group, she successfully carved out a niche for herself as a solo Country artist. Additionally, Marie has served as a host or panelist on several prominent television programs, such as ABC’s “The Talk.”

Early Life

Born on October 13th, 1959, in Ogden, Utah, Olive Marie Osmond grew up in a family with eight siblings within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From an early age, she witnessed her brothers forge their careers in show business. Though she occasionally appeared on television alongside them, she didn’t officially perform with the Osmonds.

Music Career

Initially, Marie distanced herself from the music industry, but eventually, her mother persuaded her to record an album. She began performing as a solo act at her brothers’ concerts, distinguishing herself from her pop-focused siblings by concentrating on country music. In 1973, she debuted with the single “Paper Roses,” which soared to the top of the country charts and reached the top five on the pop charts, catapulting her to fame.

The following year, she launched her first album, “In My Little Corner of the World,” which included many popular songs. She followed this with another album, “Who’s Sorry Now,” in 1975, establishing herself as a frontrunner in the genre. During this time, she also partnered with her brother, Donny Osmond, on various duets. However, by 1975, she began to shift towards pop music, with her next album titled “This is the Way That I Feel.”

Marie Osmond’s music career faced a bit of a downturn in the following years, and it wasn’t until 1985 that she regained prominence with the album “There’s No Stopping Your Heart.” This record featured several chart-topping country hits like “Meet Me In Montana.” The following year, she found similar success with “I Only Wanted You,” which included the hit “You’re Still New to Me,” helping her reclaim the number-one spot on the country charts.

Despite this period being successful, it ultimately became Marie’s last major success as a recording artist. The country music landscape was rapidly shifting, and her style fell out of favor. By the time she released “All in Love” and “Steppin’ Stone” in 1989, it became clear that she struggled to keep pace with changing trends. Besides a few notable tracks and albums in the ensuing decade, Marie Osmond turned her attention to other endeavors from the 90s onwards, most significantly her television career.

Television Career

Marie made her mark on television as early as 1975 when she and her brother Donny began co-hosting “Donny& Marie,” a widely recognized variety show that was broadcast on ABC. In 1978, the show’s title was modified to “The Osmond Family Hour.” Following this, she took on a role in a made-for-TV movie titled “The Gift of Love,” portraying a romantic character. During the subsequent period, Marie aspired to lead her own sitcom and host her own program, but both endeavors did not succeed.

Throughout the 80s, Osmond featured in made-for-TV films like “Rooster,” “Side By Side: The True Story of the Osmond Family,” and “I Married Wyatt Earp.” Additionally, she carved out a niche for herself as a voice actor, securing roles in animated projects including “The Velveteen Rabbit” and “Rose Petal Place.” A noteworthy recurring role was when Marie took over as the narrator for ABC’s “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” from Holly Palance.

After her music career began to slow down, Osmond made her return to television in 1995, taking on a recurring role in the sitcom “Maybe This Time.” In 1998, she and her brother Donny once again teamed up as co-hosts for the show “Donny and Marie.” The talk show debuted in 2000, where both hosts shared insights on current events and welcomed various guests for discussions. Following this, Marie attempted to leave her mark with her own talk show named “Marie,” which unfortunately only lasted a single season on the Hallmark channel.

In the following period, Marie Osmond became a regular participant on ABC’s “The Talk.” After serving as a temporary host for six years, it was announced that she would join the show’s panel permanently. Beyond her television endeavors, Osmond has made appearances in several feature films and Broadway shows. One of her most revered live performances was “Donny & Marie,” a long-running and immensely popular show held with her brother Donny at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.

Books

Marie Osmond is also recognized as a published author. Throughout her life, she has written a total of three books. The debut was titled “Behind My Smile: The Journey Out,” which explored her battle with postpartum depression. She subsequently released “Might as Well Laugh About it Now,” a memoir published in 2009. The latest book is “The Key is Love,” devoted to Marie’s mother, which came out in 2013. Each of these works has achieved bestseller status.

Real Estate

In 2009, reports emerged that Marie Osmond was putting her home in Orem, Utah on the market. Built in 1995, the estate boasts 9,000 square feet of living space, six bedrooms, French doors, and a basketball court. Osmond listed the home for $845,000, having previously listed it for up to $1.2 million, although interest from buyers was limited.

In 2020, Marie Osmond disclosed her plans to bequeath her entire fortune to charitable organizations upon her death.
