Goldberg first appeared on “Citizen: I'm Not Losing My Mind, I'm Giving It Away” in 1982. She then featured in a one-woman show called “Whoopi Goldberg” in 1983 and went on to work on Broadway. Her next big break came in 1985 when she was cast in the role of Cecile in Steven Spielberg’s film “The Color Purple”. The film gained critical acclaim and commercial success. It won 11 Oscar nominations including Best Actress nomination for Goldberg.



 

Goldberg then played the role of a psychic in the 1990's film “Ghost”, alongside Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the second black woman to win an Oscar in that category.



 

Goldberg starred in two Star Trek movies, and in 1992 film “Sister Act”. The film grossed over $200 and Goldberg went on to reprise her role in “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit”. Then in 1994, she became the first African American woman to host the Oscars.



 

She then went on to work in notable films such as “Corrina and The Little Rascals”, “How Stella Got Her Groove Back”, and more. Then from 1998 to 2004, she co-produced “Hollywood Squares”. In 2001, she replaced Rosie O’Donnell on the show “The View”. She has made several controversial comments on the show and in 2022 she was suspended from the show for two weeks after she faced backlash. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Goldberg's salary for “The View” is $8 million per year.



 

Goldberg is also an author of children's and non-fiction books and an entrepreneur who co-founded the company “Whoopi & Maya”, which makes medical cannabis products for women for relief from menstrual cramps. Whoopi & Maya ceased operations in February 2020 and Goldberg started a line of cannabis products called "Emma & Clyde" in 2021.

Goldberg bought a $2.6 million home in LA's Pacific Palisades neighborhood in 1993. She put the property on sale in 2018 for $8.8 million and a year later, she hiked the price to $9.6 million. In 2022, the home was for sale in January 2018 for $8.8 million. The property was relisted in 2022, as a teardown for $11.49 million with plans for a modern, 10,800-square-foot rebuild. Goldberg previously owned a 745-acre farm in Vermont which she sold for $2 million and an apartment in Manhattan which she sold for $3 million in 2013. She also sold her home in Berkeley for $2.05 million in 2015, as per Celebrity Net Worth.



 

Currently, her primary residence is a $3 million large estate in West Orange, New Jersey. She bought the 12,713 square-foot home featuring a pool, gym, and sprawling 425 acres, in 2009.

Goldberg has been married thrice and has been involved in high-profile romances. She was first married to Alvin Martin from 1973 to 1979. Martin was a drug counselor for Goldberg at the time as she suffered from a heroin addiction. With Martin, she has a daughter, Alexandra Martin, who was born when Goldberg was 18 years old.
