Julia Louis-Dreyfus Net Worth: Emmy No. 6 For ‘Veep,’ You Won’t BELIEVE How Wealthy Elaine Bennes From ‘Seinfeld’ Is!

Last Sunday, the woman who has broken the so-called "Seinfeld" curse over and over again (the one saying that the stars of the classic show never "make it" past the series in Hollywood) did it once more, bagging the sixth Emmy of her television career - a road that has led Julia Louis-Dreyfus' net worth to be incredibly high.

Since "Seinfeld" ended back in 1998, giving new shape to everything the industry thought was certain about sitcoms, Julia Louis-Dreyfus' net worth has continued to rise consistently well into the hundreds of millions of dollars, due to her work on the show about nothing as well as other projects.

While the majority of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' net worth comes from syndicated deals of the show co-starring Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards, Dreyfus' career after the 90s show has been the most successful out of the entire cast, with two award-nominated comedies to her résumé.

Dreyfus won her very first Emmy in 1996 for her iconic role as Elaine Benes, and it would take her a whole decade (plus more than a few millions more on Julia Louis-Dreyfus' net worth) to get another one, this time for playing Christine Campbell in "The New Adventures of Old Christine," the show that put her back on the television scene and officially broke the so-called "Seinfeld" curse.

While Dreyfus got no more Emmys for her work on the show (which ran from 2006 until 2010), Julia Louis-Dreyfus' net worth continued to rise from her work on the series, as she was always nominated for a new award from the television Academy until finding a new home in HBO.

Since Dreyfus began her tenure in the HBO comedy "Veep," where she plays the Vice President of the United States (who later ends up taking command for reasons beyond her control), she has won four straight Emmy awards for her work playing Selina Meyer, besides being nominated (and winning this year!) for producing the show.

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Julia Louis-Dreyfus' net worth at an astounding $200 million!
