Richard Chamberlain Was Worth An Estimated $25 Million

A Wall Street Journal report says Chamberlain sold a Maui home for $13.8 million in 2011.

He also earned money as a stage and screen actor. Celebrity Net Worth says his total assets had reached $25 million at the time of his death.

Chamberlain is perhaps best known for starring in NBC’s medical drama “Dr. Kildare” that aired from 1961 to 1966. CNN says the actor’s portrayal of a dashing young physician on the show “cemented” Chamberlain’s heartthrob status in Hollywood.

News.com.au called Chamberlain “king of the miniseries,” as he is credited with being the first television star to popularize the genre. “The Thorn Birds” and “Centennial” were among his standout short projects.

Richard Chamberlain Was Divorced With No Known Children

Richard Chamberlain did not have any publicly known children, and was divorced when he died. The future of his assets is not immediately clear.

A 2010 Express report announced Chamberlain’s split with his then-husband, Martin Rabbet. The pair married in 1984, and the story says their separation was caused by Chamberlain’s lack of interest in slowing down his acting career.

How blessed were we to have known such an amazing and loving soul.” Rabbett also declared, “Love never dies.”

The pair was together for over 30 years, according to a Today report.

IMDb says Rabbett is a writer and producer. The database lists the film “Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold,” in which Chamberlain shared the screen with Sharon Stone, among his projects.

What Did Richard Chamberlain Say About His Love Life?

Despite achieving fame and success in showbiz, the “Julius Caesar” actor didn’t always have an easy path. Chamberlain, who was born in 1934, bravely spoke out about a part of his identity and the struggles he faced because of it.

People says the actor announced he was gay in 2003. In a 2014 New York Times interview, he said about his sexuality, “When you grow up in the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, being gay, it not only ain’t easy, it’s just impossible. You cannot do it.” He added that he “assumed there was something terribly wrong with me. And even becoming famous and all that, it was still there.”
