In 2006 Julia landed a leading role on television series The New Adventures of the Old Christine. Just a year ago she debuted as Selina Meyer on Veep. This role has already garnered Dreyfus her third Emmy award.
Nobody could argue that this actress has established an impressive professional career. But how is it possible that Julia Louis Dreyfus net worth is almost four times greater than the fortunes of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, her colleagues on Seinfeld? The answer is pretty simple: Julia is the oldest daughter of Gerald Louis-Dreyfus, the chairman of Louis Dreyfus Energy services. Although Julia’s father is still alive, nobody doubts that his beloved daughter is going to inherit most of his fortune. Why so? Gerald is enormously proud of Julia, because she managed to build a successful career and achieved international fame without relying on her famous family name.
Although the oldest daughter of billionaire could have chosen to lead a careless and luxurious live, she has always strived to do her best. After graduating from high school Julia enrolled at Northwestern University, where she studied drama. Julia Louis Dreyfus net worth began to grow in the 1980s, as she started acting at the Chicago Practical Theatre Company and joined Second City troupe. Her comedic talents unfolded when the young actress moved to live to the Big Apple and was cast on Saturday Night Live. Julia later launched her movie career appearing in two Woody Allen’s films: Soul Man and Hannah and Her Sisters.
Julia Louis Dreyfus net worth growth gained momentum in 1989. That year a 28-year-old was cast for Larry David’s and Jerry Seinfeld’s hit television series Seinfeld, which aired for nine years. In this program, which is often regarded as the greatest situation comedy in history, Julia portrayed Elaine Banes, flawed and thus all the more charming friend of Seinfeld himself. Originally Elaine was not even supposed to be on the show, but NBC’s producers insisted that in order to make Seinfeld more attractive for the female audience Larry and Jerry has to include a female character. It would be hard to argue that Elaine was the key to the series success, but Julia’s presence has definitely brought an additional charm for the series.

Is Julia Louis-Dreyfus a billionaire?
Technically, at this exact moment, Julia is not a billionaire. Furthermore, when she does end up receiving an inheritance from her father's estate she will have to split the money with several siblings and a step-mother. When combined with her current net worth, future royalties and real estate, it's very likely that Julia will be worth well over $1 billion at some point in her life. Perhaps not the reported $3 billion, but enough to give Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld a literal run for their money. When Rolling Stone Magazine asked about Julia's future inheritance, she denied reports of her 10 figure net worth, but acknowledged that her father's business was indeed worth billions
