Overview
- In a Page Six interview published July 11, O’Donnell said she discovered roughly $100 million in savings and decided to end The Rosie O’Donnell Show as a result.
- She says she also turned down a reported Warner Bros. offer of about $100 million for two more years of the show because she already had enough money.
- O’Donnell told the outlet she left to be at her children’s events and to fund charitable work, saying extreme wealth should not be a life’s measure.
- The claim is presented as O’Donnell’s recollection and has been widely reported but not independently verified by financial records in the articles.
- Coverage places the interview alongside her recent limited Broadway run for Common Knowledge and earlier reporting that she relocated to Ireland after President Trump’s 2024 victory, with some outlets also revisiting her daughter Chelsea’s legal troubles reported in 2024.
