Amanda Kloots Net Worth 2026: The $1M to $3M Fortune

Amanda Kloots‘s net worth is estimated at $1 million to $3 million as of November 2026. Amanda Kloots built that figure across four distinct careers: seventeen years dancing on Broadway, a jump-rope fitness business she started in 2016, four years as a co-host of CBS daytime talk show The Talk, and a supplement brand, Proper, that reached Target shelves in 2025. The most reliable reporting puts her in the $1 million range, while a second credible outlet stretches the figure to $3 million — and the low-quality sites claiming $6 million, $8 million or $10 million are publishing numbers with no sourcing behind them at all.

How we estimated this: We compared every published estimate against the outlets behind it. Parade, updated in August 2026, puts Amanda Kloots in the $1 million range; Celebrity Net Worth lists $1 million; HotNewHipHop, citing Parade, gives a $1 million to $3 million range. We publish that range and show, section by section, where the money actually comes from — Broadway pay, daytime television, fitness classes and products, books, acting work and brand deals. No salary figure for her Talk contract has ever been published, so we say so plainly instead of inventing one. Net worth figures for public personalities are estimates built from public reporting — not audited financial statements. Read our full methodology.

Early Life and Background

Amanda Kloots was born Amanda Kloots-Larsen on March 19, 1982, in Canton, Ohio, a manufacturing city in the north-east of the state. Her mother is Maureen Kloots, and she grew up with her sister Anna Kloots, who later became a writer and Kloots’s collaborator on her memoir. Canton sits about an hour south of Cleveland, and Kloots has talked in local press about the town’s dance studios and school stages as the places where her working life started.

She began ballet training at ten years old, a late start by professional dance standards and a detail that matters when you look at the career that followed. Most Broadway dancers begin as small children; Kloots caught up through steady studio work and school productions, and by her teens she was set on dance as a profession rather than a hobby. She attended GlenOak High School in Plain Township, Ohio, where she performed in school plays and kept dancing through her teens. The school’s own student paper later profiled her path from GlenOak to Broadway, and the through-line in that story is discipline: eight shows a week, year after year, is a schedule that only works for someone who learned the grind young.

Her family background is rarely discussed in public, and Kloots has kept it that way. What is on the record is a close family — her mother Maureen and her sister Anna both moved to Los Angeles to support her in 2020, during the months her husband Nick Cordero spent in hospital — and a Lutheran upbringing she has described as a lasting part of her life. In a 2020 interview with The New York Times, she said she had been religious her whole life, and that faith shaped how she spoke publicly during Cordero’s illness: daily updates, daily sing-alongs of a song Cordero had written, and a refusal to stop asking people to pray and sing along.

The Ohio roots still show up in how she presents herself. Her fitness brand leans on plain language and jump ropes rather than expensive equipment, and her television persona on The Talk was built on warmth and directness rather than polish. Canton gave her the training; New York gave her the stage; Los Angeles gave her the second and third careers. The money story starts in New York.

Education

Kloots’s formal education is the least documented part of her life, and the honest version of this section is short. She graduated from GlenOak High School in Plain Township, Ohio, where she studied performing arts and took part in school productions. No college degree is listed in any reliable biography, and she has never claimed one. Her training was studio training: ballet from age ten, then the professional dance world itself.

That matters for the net worth picture, because her earning power was built on a skill, not a credential. A Broadway ensemble dancer’s pay is set by union contracts, not by a diploma, and her later businesses were built on seventeen years of performing knowledge — how bodies move, how classes are taught, how audiences respond. The education that paid off was the apprenticeship: Radio City, Broadway, and the nightly discipline of live performance.

One detail worth recording is that her sister Anna Kloots is a writer by profession, which shaped the memoir they wrote together. The book’s quality — it became a bestseller — owes something to that pairing: a performer with a story and a writer who knew how to shape one. Kloots’s own contribution was the lived material, and the royalties that followed were shared work.

Career Journey

Kloots’s professional career began in 2000, and for the first seventeen years it was almost entirely dance. She became a member of the Radio City Rockettes, the precision dance company that performs at Radio City Music Hall in New York, and then moved into Broadway ensemble work. Her Broadway credits, confirmed across her biography and Wikipedia, are Good Vibrations, Follies, Young Frankenstein and Bullets Over Broadway. Ensemble work is the backbone of musical theatre: eight shows a week, understudying leads, dancing in every number, and earning union-scale pay that is steady rather than rich.

Good Vibrations, built around Beach Boys songs, ran in 2005. Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks’s stage version of his film, opened in 2007. Follies, the Stephen Sondheim revival, ran in 2011. Bullets Over Broadway, the stage version of the Woody Allen film, opened in 2014 — and that production changed her life twice over. It was there, during rehearsals in 2013, that she met Nick Cordero, a Canadian actor playing the gangster Cheech. Cordero earned a Tony nomination for the role; Kloots was in the ensemble. They began dating while she was going through a divorce from her first husband, actor David Larsen, to whom she had been married for six years.

The Broadway years ended gradually rather than all at once. By 2016, after more than a decade and a half of eight-show weeks, Kloots was ready for a change. She has said she started her fitness business through her divorce — the first creation was a jump rope, sold through the fitness company she was building — and in 2016 she formally launched AK! Fitness, a workout method built on jump rope, dance and low-impact strength training. The classes were aimed at women who wanted a hard workout without the punishment culture of boot-camp fitness, and they were taught in person at first, in New York and then Los Angeles.

The pivot was not a clean break. She kept performing, kept teaching, and in 2019 moved with Cordero and their baby son to Los Angeles, where Cordero had joined an immersive production of Rock of Ages. The family stayed in a guesthouse owned by Zach Braff, Cordero’s Bullets Over Broadway co-star, while they looked for a house of their own. Then March 2020 arrived, Cordero fell ill, and the fitness business — by then digital, with exercise videos taught by Kloots herself — became the family’s working income while she documented his hospital stay to hundreds of thousands of followers.

Television came calling in that same period. She had appeared as a guest co-host on CBS daytime talk show The Talk during 2020, and in January 2021 she joined the panel permanently. She stayed until the show ended in December 2024. In between she competed on season 30 of Dancing with the Stars in 2021, published her memoir in June 2021, acted in a Hallmark Christmas film in 2022, and began building the supplement brand that would become her biggest business bet.

What is striking about the timeline is how little of it was planned. The fitness company came out of a divorce. The television career came out of a tragedy that put her in front of a national audience. The supplement brand came out of her own experience of pain, recovery and motherhood. Each step paid for the next one, and the net worth figure reflects that: no single windfall, no franchise payday, just four income streams stacked over twenty-five years.

Rise to Fame

Kloots was not famous for the first two decades of her career. Broadway ensemble dancers are skilled, working professionals; they are not household names. Her public profile changed in the spring of 2020, in the worst possible circumstances. On March 30, 2020, she drove her husband Nick Cordero to urgent care in Los Angeles. He was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, spent more than ninety days in intensive care, had his right leg amputated, and died on July 5, 2020, aged 41, from complications of COVID-19.

Kloots documented the whole of it on Instagram: daily videos, updates from doctors, and a daily sing-along of “Live Your Life”, a song Cordero had written. Hundreds of thousands of people followed along, and the story was covered by every major outlet. A GoFundMe page set up to pay medical bills raised more than $600,000 in its early weeks and passed $1 million in total, a figure Kloots confirmed in her New York Times interview, where she said the money let her build separate living quarters in her home for family who came to help, and would fund an idea she had been working on for Cordero. The attention was not something she sought, and she has been clear about that. But it made her a known name, and the industry noticed.

CBS noticed first. Her guest appearances on The Talk in 2020 went well enough that the show offered her a permanent seat in January 2021, alongside hosts including Sheryl Underwood and Jerry O’Connell. Daytime talk is a steady, well-paid job — five shows a week, fifty-two weeks a year — and for a performer whose previous income had been per-show and per-class, it was the first genuinely stable salary of her career. She held the seat for four years, until the show’s final episode in December 2024.

The second wave of fame came from Dancing with the Stars. In the autumn of 2021 she competed in season 30, partnered with professional dancer Alan Bersten. The pair were frontrunners from the first weeks, topping the leaderboard in the opening rounds, and reached the finale. Their fusion dance — a Viennese waltz and paso doble to “Never Tear Us Apart” — scored 38 out of 40, and their freestyle to Coldplay’s “A Sky Full of Stars” earned a perfect 40. They finished fourth, behind winner Iman Shumpert and his partner Daniella Karagach, runner-up JoJo Siwa, whose net worth and season 30 run made her the other breakout of that cast, and third-place Cody Rigsby. The run reminded viewers that Kloots was a dancer first, and it put her back on a stage in front of millions.

The third wave was her own making. In June 2021 she published Live Your Life: My Story of Loving and Losing Nick Cordero, co-written with her sister Anna and published by HarperCollins. The memoir became a bestseller, and its success turned grief into a durable asset: book royalties, speaking work, and a public identity as a resilience figure that brands wanted to work with. She later wrote a children’s book, Tell Me Your Dreams, described as a love letter to memory, connection and hope.

By 2025 the fame had a business shape. She was co-founder of Proper, a supplement brand that launched in January 2025 and reached Target shelves that March. She was a brand ambassador for Skechers and Lincoln. She was an Entertainment Tonight correspondent and a presenter at the Grammys and the Daytime Emmys. The woman who had been an anonymous ensemble dancer in 2014 was, by 2026, a television personality with four income streams and a public profile that no longer depended on any single employer.

Main Sources of Income

Amanda Kloots earns from six sources, and their relative weight has shifted over time. Broadway pay mattered most before 2016. Television hosting mattered most from 2021 to 2024. Fitness and supplements matter most now. Here is each stream, in the order it entered her life.

Broadway and live performance. Seventeen years in ensemble roles, including the Rockettes and four Broadway productions. Ensemble pay under Actors’ Equity contracts is steady, union-scale income — comfortable for a working performer, but not wealth-building on its own. This stream is now closed; her last Broadway credit dates to the mid-2010s. Its value to her net worth is indirect: the training and the reputation that made everything after it possible.

Television hosting. The Talk was her biggest single paycheque for four years, from January 2021 to December 2024. Daytime talk show co-hosts on a network show earn a regular salary rather than per-episode fees, and the job also brought presenting work: the Grammys, the Daytime Emmys, the Family Film and TV Awards, and a correspondent role at Entertainment Tonight. The show’s end in December 2024 closed this stream, but the presenting and correspondent work continues.

AK! Fitness. Launched in 2016 and still running. The business sells digital classes and workout videos — AK! Rope (jump rope), AK! Dance, AK! Body and AK! Baby Bump — plus physical products, starting with her own jump rope. Fitness is her most durable income: it predates the television career, survived her husband’s death, and kept paying while she was on The Talk. It is also the stream with the lowest overhead, since classes are recorded once and sold repeatedly.

Proper supplements. Her newest and potentially largest business. Proper launched in January 2025 as a line of five powder supplements at $28 each, and reached Target stores in March 2025. As co-founder she holds equity in the brand, which means this stream pays in two ways: income from the business and value in the stake itself. More on this in the business section below.

Books. Live Your Life (June 2021) was a bestseller, and bestseller royalties keep paying for years. Her children’s book Tell Me Your Dreams adds a second title. Book income is lumpy — advances and royalty cheques arrive in waves — but a bestselling memoir is a real asset, and this one is tied to a story that still draws readers.

Acting and endorsements. Smaller roles — the Hallmark film Fit for Christmas (2022), a guest spot on Blue Bloods in 2024, a role on The Bold and the Beautiful in 2024, hosting Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry and Trainer Games — plus brand deals with Skechers, Lincoln and Advil. None of these is individually large. Together they add a meaningful layer, and the endorsement deals in particular pay in cash and product.

The honest summary is that no one stream makes her rich. The $1 million to $3 million figure is the sum of a working performer’s savings, a television salary banked over four years, a fitness business with real customers, a bestselling book, and an equity stake in a young supplement brand. That is also why the range is wide: the value of the Proper stake is unknowable from outside, and the difference between $1 million and $3 million is mostly a judgement about how much that stake and the fitness business are worth.

Salary and Earnings

No verified salary figure exists for Amanda Kloots’s time on The Talk. CBS does not publish daytime host pay, Kloots has never stated her salary, and no credible outlet has reported a number. Any site that gives an exact figure for her Talk pay is guessing, and this article will not repeat the guess as fact.

What can be said with confidence is the shape of it. A permanent co-host on a network daytime talk show earns a full-time salary, paid across the year, for five shows a week. It is the kind of job that turns a working performer’s finances from feast-and-famine into something plannable: a mortgage gets paid, savings get built, and the other businesses get funded from a stable base rather than from debt. Four years of that — January 2021 to December 2024 — is the single biggest block of earnings in her career, and it is the main reason her net worth estimate moved from around $1 million in 2021 to a $1 million to $3 million range by 2024.

One older bio site, Factmandu, put her annual earnings at $100,000 to $200,000 a year in 2020, before she joined The Talk. That figure is unverified, dates to the period when her income was mainly fitness classes, and should be treated as a rough guess rather than a fact. We include it only to show the gap: whatever she earned from fitness alone in 2020, the television salary that followed was in a different league, and the step up is visible in the estimate’s movement after 2021.

Dancing with the Stars paid her as a celebrity contestant in 2021. ABC does not publish contestant fees, and reported figures for the show vary widely by season and by star, so we do not state a number. What the show paid in money, it matched in exposure: the season 30 run put her in front of viewers who had never seen The Talk, and it fed directly into her fitness business and her book sales.

Broadway ensemble pay deserves a plain note. Under Actors’ Equity Association contracts, ensemble dancers earn a weekly minimum that rises with the production’s size and the performer’s seniority, plus overtime for extra performances and media work. It is honest, union-protected pay — and it is not the kind of money that builds a seven-figure net worth on its own. Kloots’s seventeen years on stage built her skills and her savings, but the wealth came later, from television and business.

Book earnings follow a different pattern. A bestselling memoir earns an advance, then royalties on each copy sold, then paperback and audio royalties in later years. Live Your Life was published by HarperCollins in June 2021 and became a bestseller; the advance and royalty figures are private, but a bestselling hardcover memoir by a public figure with a large social following is a six-figure earner across its life, not a five-figure one. Her children’s book adds a smaller, steadier stream.

The honest total is this: her annual earnings in the Talk years were almost certainly her highest, driven by the television salary plus fitness income plus book royalties. Since the show ended in December 2024, her income has shifted toward business ownership — fitness subscriptions, supplement sales and endorsements — which is lumpier but has more upside. The $1 million to $3 million net worth range reflects a woman whose peak earning years are recent and whose biggest asset may be a company she co-owns rather than a salary she once drew.

Businesses and Investments

AK! Fitness (2016–present). This is the business Kloots built herself, from scratch, and it is the one she controls outright. She launched it in 2016, after seventeen years of dancing eight shows a week, with a simple idea: a workout built around a jump rope, dance and low-impact strength training, aimed at women who wanted to move hard without being shouted at. The method grew into four class formats — AK! Rope, AK! Dance, AK! Body and AK! Baby Bump — and in 2020 she turned it into a digital fitness brand, selling exercise videos and online classes taught by her.

The economics of a digital fitness brand are kind to its owner. Classes are recorded once and sold many times; the main costs are filming, the platform and marketing, most of which Kloots does herself through her Instagram account. Her first product was her own jump rope, followed by a fitness mat she sold for a time and a CBD muscle relief cream. Each product was small on its own. Together they turned a teaching skill into a business with customers in many countries — one profile noted the brand had expanded to various countries — and a revenue stream that kept paying through 2020, when she could not leave her house, and through the Talk years, when she had less time to teach.

Proper (January 2025–present). Her biggest business move, and the one with the most upside. Proper is a supplement and wellness brand Kloots co-founded, launched in January 2025 with five powder supplements: Daily Boost (a greens powder), Metabolism + Energy Boost, Digestion + Bloat Relief, Immune Support and Calming Aid. Each sells for $28. The brand was built in partnership with The Center, the incubator run by Ben Bennett — the entrepreneur behind Naturium, the skincare brand that sold to e.l.f. Beauty at the end of 2023. Proper is the seventh brand The Center has launched.

The details matter for the money. A $28 price point is deliberately affordable in a market where rival powders sell for far more, and the bright, rainbow-coloured packaging is designed to sit on a kitchen counter rather than hide in a cupboard — Kloots has said she wants people to feel inspired, not guilty, when they see the tubs. The brand launched direct-to-consumer, then reached Target shelves in March 2025, a step that put it in front of shoppers who had never heard of Kloots. It is also sold on Amazon. As co-founder, Kloots is involved in product development, marketing and the brand’s direction, and she holds equity — which means the brand’s value counts toward her net worth in a way a salary never could. How much is that stake worth? Nobody outside the company knows. A young supplement brand with Target distribution and a proven incubator behind it is worth something real, and that uncertainty is a large part of why her net worth is a range, not a point.

Hooray For. A smaller venture: a clothing line selling T-shirts and other items printed with positive messages. It grew out of the same instinct as the fitness brand — sell something useful and upbeat to the audience that follows her — and it has stayed small. It is a side business, not a wealth driver, and we list it for completeness rather than for its size.

Investments. There is no public record of Kloots holding stocks, property portfolios or venture stakes beyond her own companies, and we will not invent one. The low-quality sites that credit her with “investments in real estate” offer no property, no address and no source. What is documented is her Laurel Canyon home in Los Angeles, bought with Cordero before his death, and the equity in AK! Fitness and Proper. Her investment strategy, so far as the public record shows, has been to invest in herself: a fitness method, a book, and a supplement brand she co-owns.

Brand Deals and Sponsorships

Kloots’s endorsement work is recent, and the timeline tells its own story. She had few brand deals before 2020. After The Talk and the memoir, brands came to her, and the deals she has signed fit her public identity: movement, recovery, and everyday products rather than luxury goods.

Skechers (from August 2024). She became a brand ambassador for the footwear company in August 2024, according to Booking Agent Info’s endorsement records. Skechers is a natural fit for a former dancer and fitness instructor — comfortable shoes for a woman who spends her working life on her feet — and ambassador deals of this kind typically pay a fee plus product, with social media posts and appearances built in.

Lincoln (from August 2025). She added a car brand ambassadorship in August 2025, again per Booking Agent Info. A car deal is a step up in endorsement value: automakers pay for long-term associations, and the deal put her in Lincoln’s advertising and event work. It also signals how brands see her now — not as a dancer or a daytime host, but as a lifestyle figure with a broad, largely female audience.

Advil and “The Strength Shift”. She partnered with Advil on a campaign called The Strength Shift, aimed at changing how people think about pain and recovery. The campaign grew out of her own experience: a C-section in 2019, the physical toll of her husband’s illness, and years of dancing through injury. The partnership included a resilience-building workout she developed with the brand. It is the most personal of her endorsements, and it ties directly to the story her audience knows her for.

Proper, as her own brand. Strictly speaking this is not an endorsement — she co-founded the company — but it functions like one in public: she posts about it, appears for it, and puts her name behind it. The difference is that she owns the upside. Booking Agent Info lists five endorsement relationships in total across cars, health and fitness, footwear and investment services, with Proper counted among her business ventures.

Endorsement income is rarely disclosed, and Kloots’s deals are no exception. What can be said is that three named deals in two years, plus the Advil campaign, represent a meaningful income layer on top of her businesses — and that the deals are recent, which means this income stream is growing rather than fading.

Houses, Cars and Other Assets

Kloots’s best-documented asset is her home in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. She and Cordero bought the house before his death, after moving to Los Angeles in the autumn of 2019 for his role in Rock of Ages. The couple had planned to build a new life in a new city; instead, Kloots told The New York Times, she moved into the house as a widow, with her baby son, after months living in Zach Braff’s guesthouse. She has also said publicly that when Cordero died, they had “NOTHING in place and barely enough money to get a mortgage” — a plain statement that cuts against the image of celebrity wealth, and a reminder that the Laurel Canyon house was bought with a mortgage, not cash.

No purchase price has been reliably published for the house, and we do not state one. Laurel Canyon is a sought-after Los Angeles neighbourhood, and a house there is a real asset — but it is also a home with a mortgage, not a property portfolio. The GoFundMe money raised during Cordero’s illness, which passed $1 million, helped her build separate living quarters in the house for family who came to support her, and she has said she hoped to use part of it to fund an idea she had been developing for Cordero.

On cars, the public record is thin but suggestive. Her Lincoln ambassadorship, which began in August 2025, means she is associated with the brand’s vehicles, but an ambassadorship is not ownership, and we do not list a car collection. No reliable source documents a fleet of vehicles, and this article does not invent one. The same applies to jewellery, watches and other luxury goods: she is photographed in them, as any television personality is, but there is no documented collection to value.

Her real assets are her businesses. AK! Fitness is a digital brand with a customer base, a product line and a decade of trading. Proper is a supplement company with Target distribution and an incubator’s backing. A bestselling memoir is an asset that pays royalties for years. These are worth more than a car, and they are the reason her net worth estimate holds up even though she has no documented property empire.

Awards and Achievements

Kloots’s career has brought recognition rather than a shelf of trophies, and the record should be stated honestly. She has no Tony, Emmy or Grammy nomination of her own. Her husband Nick Cordero earned a Tony nomination for Bullets Over Broadway; she was in the ensemble of the same production. The achievements that belong to her are different in kind, and they are real.

On Dancing with the Stars season 30, she and Alan Bersten finished fourth out of fifteen couples, were frontrunners from the opening weeks, and scored a perfect 40 for their freestyle. For a celebrity contestant who had not performed in seven years, that is a genuine competitive achievement, and the judges’ praise was consistent across the season.

Her memoir, Live Your Life: My Story of Loving and Losing Nick Cordero, became a bestseller after publication in June 2021. Bestseller status is a measurable achievement in publishing, and it turned a personal story into a commercial success that still pays royalties. Her children’s book Tell Me Your Dreams extended her authorship into a second title.

In television, four years as a permanent co-host of a network daytime show is itself the achievement: The Talk is a coveted seat, and she held it from January 2021 until the show’s final episode in December 2024. She has since worked as an Entertainment Tonight correspondent and presented at the Grammys, the Daytime Emmys and the Family Film and TV Awards.

In business, the achievements are the launch of AK! Fitness in 2016, its survival and growth through a decade, and the launch of Proper in January 2025 followed by Target distribution in March 2025. Getting a new supplement brand onto Target shelves within three months of launch is a concrete commercial result, and it is the achievement most likely to move her net worth in the years ahead.

Net Worth Growth Over the Years

The published estimates for Amanda Kloots tell a story of slow, steady growth rather than a sudden jump — and they also expose how unreliable the low-quality sites are. The table below uses only figures tied to a named outlet, and it shows what each outlet actually said.

YearPublished estimateSourceWhat changed
2020About $1 millionFactmandu; WealthySpyFitness income only; Cordero’s illness and death
2021$1 millionCelebrity Net WorthJoined The Talk; memoir published; DWTS season 30
2024$1 million–$3 millionHotNewHipHop, citing ParadeFour years of television salary banked; Skechers deal signed
2026$1 million rangeParade (updated August 2026)The Talk ended; Proper launched and reached Target

Two things stand out. First, the credible figures barely move: $1 million in 2020, $1 million in 2021, $1 million to $3 million in 2024, back to the $1 million range in 2026. That is the pattern of a working professional whose wealth grows from savings and business income, not from a single payday. Second, the range widened in 2024 because HotNewHipHop, citing Parade, allowed for $3 million — a judgement that her television years and her businesses were worth more than the flat $1 million figure.

The contrast with the content farms is stark. TheMost10, a low-quality site, publishes three different figures for the same person on three different pages: $6 million on one, $8 million on another, $10 million on a third, each with an invented year-by-year table showing her wealth doubling every year. Those tables have no source, no reporting, and they contradict each other. One of its pages even claims she faced “a financial controversy related to a legal dispute over a business partnership” — a claim no credible outlet has reported. We publish this to show our working: when a site’s own pages disagree by $4 million, its numbers are worthless, and any article that repeats them is laundering fiction.

Where does the figure go from here? The honest answer is that it depends on Proper. If the supplement brand grows — more Target shelf space, more products, a bigger direct-to-consumer base — her equity stake could be worth several times her current estimate within a few years. If it stalls, the estimate stays near $1 million. The fitness business and the book royalties provide a floor; the supplement brand provides the ceiling. That is why we publish a range, and why we will revise it when new evidence appears.

For comparison, her late husband Nick Cordero’s net worth at his death was speculated at between $1 million and $5 million, a figure that was itself uncertain because his Broadway and screen income was never publicly tallied. The couple bought their Laurel Canyon home together, and the GoFundMe raised for his medical bills passed $1 million — money that went to bills and to making the house liveable for the family who came to help, not to building wealth. The comparison is a sad one, but it is useful: two working Broadway performers, a mortgage, a baby, and a sudden medical crisis. Her net worth today is what she built after that.

Social Media Presence

Social media is not a side note in Kloots’s career. It is the platform that made her famous, the marketing channel for her businesses, and a source of income in its own right. Her Instagram account, @amandakloots, had around 773,000 followers in 2025 reporting, and it is where she posts her fitness classes, her Proper products, her television work and her family life. It is also where, in 2020, she documented her husband’s illness day by day — the daily videos and sing-alongs that turned a private crisis into a public story followed by hundreds of thousands of people.

That following has commercial value. Brands pay for access to an engaged audience, and Kloots’s audience is unusually loyal: they followed her through grief, watched her rebuild, and buy the products she recommends. Her Skechers and Lincoln deals, and the Advil campaign, all rest on that following. So does Proper’s direct-to-consumer launch — a supplement brand with no retail presence at first needs an owner who can reach customers directly, and her Instagram is that channel.

She is also active on the platforms where her businesses live: AK! Fitness has its own Instagram presence, and Proper has its own account, Proper Health official. Her X (formerly Twitter) following is far smaller, around 10,000 in older reporting, and it is not a major channel for her. The centre of gravity is Instagram, and it is where any reader who wants to follow her work should look.

A note on the numbers: follower counts move, and the 773,000 figure is from 2025 reporting. We state it as a reported figure, not a live count. What matters for the money story is not the exact number but the fact that the audience is large, engaged, and tied to products she sells herself.

Personal Life

Kloots was married twice. Her first marriage, to actor David Larsen, lasted six years and ended in divorce. She met her second husband, Nick Cordero, during Bullets Over Broadway in 2013, while she was going through that divorce. They were engaged on March 20, 2017, and married on September 3, 2017, at the Skylark lounge in Manhattan. Their son, Elvis Eduardo Cordero, was born on June 10, 2019, after a labour Kloots has described as lasting more than two days.

The family moved to Los Angeles in the autumn of 2019, when Cordero joined an immersive production of Rock of Ages. Kloots had wanted to stay in New York, close to her family and her fitness clients, but she agreed to the move, and the three of them lived in Zach Braff’s guesthouse while they searched for a house. They bought in Laurel Canyon. Six months later, Cordero was in hospital, and on July 5, 2020, he died at Cedars-Sinai, aged 41, after more than ninety days in intensive care. Kloots was 38, a new mother, and a widow.

She has been open about the years since: raising Elvis alone, keeping Cordero’s memory alive for him, and rebuilding a working life. Her memoir is the fullest account, and her children’s book Tell Me Your Dreams is, in her own framing, a love letter to memory and hope for her son. In April 2025 she went public with a new relationship, appearing with former tennis player Justin Gimelstob at the Unforgettable Evening gala in Beverly Hills on April 28, 2025. Reporting since then has described Gimelstob as her partner, and she has not remarried.

Her family remains close. Her mother Maureen and her sister Anna moved to Los Angeles to support her in 2020, and Anna co-wrote the memoir with her. Elvis, now seven, is a regular presence in her social media — dancing, travelling, and, in the children’s book, the reason it exists. Kloots lives in Los Angeles, in the Laurel Canyon home she bought with Cordero, and her working life — fitness, supplements, television, books — is built around that home and that child.

What we did not use. TheMost10 publishes three contradictory figures for Kloots ($6 million, $8 million and $10 million) across its own pages, with invented growth tables and an unsourced claim of a business-partnership legal dispute. We cite it only as an example of unreliable reporting and use none of its figures. Factmandu’s 2020 claim of $100,000–$200,000 annual earnings is included with an explicit warning that it is unverified.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Amanda Kloots’s net worth in 2026?

Amanda Kloots’s net worth is estimated at $1 million to $3 million as of November 2026. Parade, updated in August 2026, puts her in the $1 million range; Celebrity Net Worth lists $1 million; HotNewHipHop, citing Parade, gives a $1 million to $3 million range. The figure comes from four years hosting The Talk, her AK! Fitness business, her bestselling memoir, brand deals, and her equity stake in the supplement brand Proper. Claims of $6 million to $10 million come from low-quality sites with no sourcing and contradict each other.

How much did Amanda Kloots make on The Talk?

No verified salary figure has ever been published for her time on The Talk. CBS does not disclose daytime host pay and Kloots has never stated her salary. She was a permanent co-host from January 2021 until the show ended in December 2024, and the job was her biggest single source of income during those four years. One older bio site guessed $100,000 to $200,000 a year in 2020, before she joined the show, but that figure is unverified.

What happened to Amanda Kloots’s husband Nick Cordero?

Nick Cordero, a Canadian Broadway actor, died on July 5, 2020, aged 41, from complications of COVID-19. He spent more than 90 days in intensive care at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where his right leg was amputated. Kloots documented his illness daily on Instagram, and a GoFundMe for his medical bills raised more than $1 million. They had married in September 2017 and their son Elvis was born in June 2019.

Who is Amanda Kloots dating now?

Amanda Kloots went public with former tennis player Justin Gimelstob in April 2025, appearing with him at the Unforgettable Evening gala in Beverly Hills on April 28, 2025. Reporting since then has described Gimelstob as her partner. She has not remarried since Nick Cordero’s death in 2020.

How tall is Amanda Kloots?

Amanda Kloots is 5 feet 8 inches tall (173 cm). Her height is listed consistently across biographies and was an asset in her dance career, first as a Radio City Rockette and then in Broadway ensemble roles.

What is AK! Fitness?

AK! Fitness is the fitness brand Amanda Kloots launched in 2016, built on jump rope, dance and low-impact strength training. It includes four class formats — AK! Rope, AK! Dance, AK! Body and AK! Baby Bump — and became a digital brand in 2020, selling online classes and workout videos. Her first product was her own jump rope. The business is still running and is one of her main income streams.

What is Proper, Amanda Kloots’s supplement brand?

Proper is a supplement and wellness brand Amanda Kloots co-founded, launched in January 2025 with five powder supplements at $28 each: Daily Boost, Metabolism + Energy Boost, Digestion + Bloat Relief, Immune Support and Calming Aid. It was built with Ben Bennett’s incubator The Center and reached Target stores in March 2025. Kloots holds equity in the brand, so its value is part of her net worth.

Is Amanda Kloots still on The Talk?

No. The Talk ended in December 2024, and Kloots’s four-year run as co-host ended with it. Since then she has worked as an Entertainment Tonight correspondent, presented at the Grammys and the Daytime Emmys, hosted shows including Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry and Trainer Games, and focused on her AK! Fitness and Proper businesses.

The Bottom Line

Final Thoughts

Amanda Kloots’s net worth — $1 million to $3 million — is the honest total of a working life, not a lottery win. Seventeen years of Broadway ensemble work built the skill. Four years on The Talk built the savings. A fitness business she started in 2016, a bestselling memoir, three brand deals and a supplement brand she co-owns built the rest. The range is wide because the value of her Proper stake is unknowable from outside, and because the outlets that track her disagree by design: Parade says $1 million, HotNewHipHop allows $3 million, and the sites claiming $6 million or $10 million are inventing numbers.

What is certain is the direction. Her income no longer depends on a single employer, and her biggest asset is a company she owns a piece of rather than a salary she used to draw. If Proper grows, her net worth grows with it. If it stalls, the fitness business, the book royalties and the endorsement deals provide a floor. Either way, the story is the same one it has been since Canton, Ohio: a dancer who kept working, kept building, and turned each chapter of her life — Broadway, grief, television, business — into the next one.
