How much is Jennifer Tilly worth? RHOBH fans reel as her Simpsons net worth is revealed

Jennifer Tilly dropped quite the bombshell on Tuesday’s episode of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” revealing that she owns a piece of “The Simpsons.”

The 66-year-old is best known as an actress in films like Bride of Chucky and as a professional poker player before joining the reality show.

She was part of a group trip to Oceanside in the new episode when the discussion turned to the divorce, which Tilly was quite familiar with.

Tilly was married from 1984 to 1991 to Sam Simon, who created Fox’s hugely popular animated series The Simpsons, which debuted in 1989 and is still going strong.

During a confessional, Tilly revealed that she actually owns a piece of the long-running show that she got through her divorce from Simon, sending fans into a panic.

“My ex-husband was Sam Simon, the creator of The Simpsons.” I was married to him for seven years. We were together for about ten years. And then when we divorced, I got a piece of The Simpsons in the divorce settlement, and no one knew that The Simpsons would go on for trillions of years. So every day, honestly, every day, I say, “Thank you, Sam,” Tilly revealed in her confession.

While Matt Groening is usually considered the sole creator of The Simpsons, he co-developed the series with Tilly’s ex Simon and James L. Brooks.

Groening, Simon and Brooks all served as showrunners for the first two seasons, with Simon also serving as creative supervisor for the first four seasons.

Simon was hailed as The Simpsons’ “unsung hero” by director Brad Bird – who went from directing The Simpsons episodes to producing The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

SIMon eventually left the show in 1993, but after his exit negotiated a deal that gave him a share of the show’s profits each year, reportedly worth up to $10 million per year.

Tilly remained close to Simon until he died of colon cancer in March 2015, aged just 59. In his will, Tilly left 30% of his royalties from The Simpsons through RealityTea.

Tilly’s net worth was announced back in August at $40 million. This includes earnings from acting, reality television, her Simpsons royalties, and nearly $1 million in earnings from playing professional poker.
