Eric Roberts Net Worth is $8 Million (as of 2020)
As for the day, Eric Roberts net worth is estimated at 48 million, so yes, he is doing pretty good (to say the least). However, the actor is only 1/5 as rich his sister Julia Roberts, who currently has some $140 million in her disposal. During her career, which started din 1987, the actress has appeared in some of the most prominent movies we have ever seen, including My Best Friend’s Wedding, Notting Hill, Conspiracy Theory, Ocean‘s Eleven and Ocean‘s Twelve, Charlie Wilson’s War, Eat Pray Love and Mirror Mirror. Most importantly, Julia has received an Academy Award for the Best actress for the role on Erin Brockovich. And that was after she has won a couple of Golden Globes and was nominated for Oscars for the performance in Steel Magnolias back in the late 1980s! So I guess there is a good reason why in comparison to the fortunes of his sister, Eric Roberts net worth seems quite modest – he is just less talented than his younger sibling. On the other hand, Eric has been by far more successful than the other one of his „little sisters“, who chose an acting carrier – Lisa Roberts Gillan (she has played Queen‘s reflection in Julia‘s Mirror Mirror).
