Here's How Much Ron Howard Is Really Worth

It should come as little surprise that someone with as much money as Ron Howard has invested in some pretty swanky properties. His first major purchase was a ranch-style home in the suburbs of L.A. that he snapped up during his "Happy Days" era, per the Los Angeles Times. He reportedly paid a little over $500,000 for it but sold the home for nearly a $300,000 profit in 1986.

Aside from the L.A. pad, Howard's biggest investment to date has been in a multi-million dollar compound on the Connecticut-New York border. Howard and his wife Cheryl purchased the 6-bedroom property in 1991 as a place to raise their kids away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. The property included a yoga room, tennis court, indoor pool, 2-story library, 14-seat movie theater, and a professional-grade observatory, per Business Insider.

Howard and Cheryl parted with the property in 2014 for a cool $27.5 million. The couple relocated to another (presumably smaller) property in Connecticut while keeping a penthouse in New York City, of course. However, in 2017 they put the city pad on the market for $12.5 million, per Variety.
