Denise Richards has long been one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces — a glamorous actress, fashion model, and television personality whose career has seen both glittering highs and challenging lows. As of 2025, Denise Richards’ net worth is estimated at $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Despite a tumultuous personal life and financial struggles following her divorce from Charlie Sheen, Richards has rebuilt her empire through a mix of acting, business ventures, and an unexpectedly lucrative digital platform: OnlyFans.
From the Big Screen to Stardom
Richards’ career took off in the early 1990s with guest roles on hit shows like Saved by the Bell, Beverly Hills, 90210, and Seinfeld. Her big break came in 1997 with Starship Troopers, a cult sci-fi hit that catapulted her to fame. The following year, she shocked audiences with her daring performance in Wild Things, proving her versatility beyond the “girl-next-door” image.
Her Hollywood trajectory continued with roles in blockbusters like The World Is Not Enough (1999), where she played a Bond girl, and comedies such as Scary Movie 3 and Love Actually. Despite mixed reviews, Richards remained a fan favorite — earning a Maxim “Top 50 Sexiest Women” title and becoming a staple of early-2000s pop culture.
Reality TV and Reinvention
After her high-profile and turbulent divorce from Charlie Sheen, Richards found herself facing mounting legal bills and dwindling income. To recover financially, she pivoted to reality television, starring in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Denise Richards: It’s Complicated. Her honesty and humor quickly won audiences over, reigniting her career.
By 2022, Richards had fully embraced the digital era by joining OnlyFans, alongside her daughter, Sami Sheen. Reports in 2024 claimed she earned as much as $2 million per month from the platform — though filings in 2025 revealed her verified income averaged $250,000 per month, primarily from “brand deals, TV appearances, and OnlyFans.”
Business Ventures and Advocacy
Beyond acting, Richards has launched beauty and lifestyle ventures, including CBme Beauty, her skincare line, and brand partnerships with major companies like Oro Gold Cosmetics. She remains a passionate animal rights advocate, supporting organizations like Best Friends Animal Society and Feeding America.
Her philanthropic efforts, coupled with a return to acting on The Bold and the Beautiful and other projects, showcase her evolution from Hollywood’s bombshell to an empowered entrepreneur.
