According to the reports, she has a net worth of around $170 million.
Barbara and her health
She has significant signs of aging and has become a bit forgetful and confused. Barbara had developed a fear that if she ventured out she would fall and break her hip.
She was aware that this could lead to more problems in her life besides her old age. Hence, she preferred to only allow very close friends to meet her. There is a trainer who sees her weekly.
In 2013, Barbara Walters had taken ill. She had suffered a fall and cut her temple. It was so bad that she needed to be hospitalized. She was attending the inauguration party at the British ambassador’s residence in Washington when she fell and injured herself badly.
She had been treated at a Washington hospital. But while at the hospital, Barbara Walters developed a fever and later it became known that the fever was due to chickenpox. She soon developed rashes over her body. She was then transferred to the New York hospital.
Whoopi Goldberg, the co-host of The View told on the show:
“We want to give you an update on Barbara. You all know that she fell and cut her head 10 days ago, and then was running a temperature, but it turns out it is all the result of a delayed childhood. Barbara has the chicken pox. She’d never had it as a child. So now she’s been told to rest, she’s not allowed any visitors, and we’re telling you, Barbara — no scratching.”
Barbara Walter’s other ailments
