Ever since her departure from "Grey's Anatomy," Katherine Heigl's net worth has stemmed mostly from her work in independent films and romantic comedies, plus focusing on her family life, having two daughters with husband Josh Kelley.

While she was still playing Izzy Stevens in the first Shonda Rhimes show, Katherine Heigl's net worth also came from her many movie roles, as she became something of a major romantic comedy lady, starring in a broad array of films such as "The Ugly Truth" and later "Life as We Know It," neither of which became a box office smash.

Her most popular and critically acclaimed comedy of that period was "Knocked Up," co-starring Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd, which improved Katherine Heigl's net worth although seeing her surrounded with controversy, as she called the film "sexist" and the media was all over her over it.

However, Katherine Heigl's net worth rose in the time just the same, getting $6 million per film at around the time she won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for playing Dr. Izzy Stevens, the character that ultimately launched her to superstardom.

It wasn't too long after this that the actress was written out of "Grey's Anatomy," though the reasons behind her departure are still unclear, with her character still alive; still, Katherine Heigl's net worth has continued to rise in the past few years as she goes deeper into the indie scene!

In any case, her latest major project was "State of Affairs," a show that barely lasted two seasons where she played a CIA officer who becomes the U.S. President's daily briefer.

Over the past few weeks, Heigl has been in the news as she promotes her latest film, "Jackie & Ryan," as she spoke about how shocked she was that Patrick Dempsey's character in "Grey's" was killed off, prompting rumors of her own return.

However, Extra reports that Heigl has no plans of coming back to the Ellen Pompeo-led show!

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth reports that Katherine Heigl's net worth stands at $18 million.
