## Resource

Rosie O'Donnell's financial secrets are out. Page Six reports the comedian had an eye-watering nine-figure sum in the bank when she famously walked away from her hugely popular talk show in 2002. She even turned down an additional nine-figure offer to stay. That's a staggering amount of cash for anyone to refuse, even for a star of her caliber. The "Queen of Nice" certainly made her fortune. We'll explore the real reasons behind her shocking departure, next.
