Acting has primarily accounted for most of Julie Bowen's income for more than three decades, as she portrayed various characters in TV series and films. But she has also ventured into direction and production, to diversify her sources of income. In addition to her revenue from showbiz, Bowen also generates cash from a cosmetics business she recently launched.

One of Julie Bowen's notable income streams came from her role as Claire Dunphy in the hit TV series "Modern Family." From 2018 onwards, she earned a remarkable $500,000 per episode from her previous $190,000 between 2014-2018, making her one of the highest-paid actresses on television.



 

Other business ventures

While Bowen is primarily recognized for her work in the entertainment industry, she forayed into entrepreneurship by launching a skincare brand for teenage boys called JB Skrub in 2023. Inspired by her sons, she partnered with former Conde Nast Director Jill Biren on the venture.



 

Bowen invested in real estate in 2017 by purchasing a 3,212-square-foot Hollywood Hills gem for $3.1 million. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Julie's property portfolio also includes a Studio City home acquired for $1.87 million in 2004 and sold for $2.1 million in 2009. In 2007, she bought another Studio City property for $2.75 million.

Bowen was married to real estate investor and software developer Scott Phillips, with whom she has three children. However, the couple divorced in September 2018, resulting in a significant financial settlement. Bowen has also faced health challenges, as she has had a pacemaker since her early twenties due to a heart condition called bradycardia. Despite these hurdles, she continues to thrive in her career and support charitable causes.
