What the stars of Everybody Loves Raymond are worth
Everybody Loves Raymond is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed family sitcoms of all time.
The show was inspired by comedian Ray Romano’s own family experiences. It follows his character Ray’s day-to-day life as a husband and father of three whose interfering parents and hapless brother live across the road.
The show ran from 1996 to 2005 notching up 210 episodes and nine seasons.
Considering how long it went for and how popular it was, the cast would’ve been raking in big bucks.
Read on to see just how much the stars of the show made and what their wealth is today.
Ray and Debra’s eldest child, Ally Barone, was played by actress Madylin Sweeten, who is now 28 years old. Feel old yet?
Since the show wrapped, Madylin has continued acting and has gone on to play minor roles in American Splendor, Grey’s Anatomy, and Lucifer. Outside of acting, the former child star also works as a writer, director, and producer of her own short films, according to IMDb.
During an interview with Vogue LA last year, Madylin opened up about her struggles with mental health and the years she spent “chasing booze and boys”.
“By the time I was 19, I had lived the lives of many people. I was lucky enough to see the world, meet my heroes, and work on a prime-time television series for nine years. Once my twenties came knocking at my door, I had spent so much time chasing adventures that I had forgotten to take care of my mental health,” she told the publication.
“At that time chasing adventures turned into chasing escapes. It’s a tale as old as time, a bright young woman starts chasing booze and boys to fill the empty holes in her soul. My life went on, directionless, like this for a while.”
Madylin then turned to theatre, where she met her now-husband, Sean Durrie.
“Then I met a man, a wonderful man, who saw all my flaws and embraced them. Along with him came his boisterous theatre company the Loft Ensemble. There I made lasting friendships that turned my life around.”
The pair later tied the knot in 2018 in a private ceremony with friends.
Sawyer and Sullivan Sweeten played twin brothers Geoffrey and Michael Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond, starting from when they were just 16 months old. Unlike their older sister, the real-life brothers mostly kept themselves away from the spotlight after the show.
Sadly, in 2015, Sawyer ended his own life at just 19 years old.
“Sawyer was more than just a brother,” Madylin told People at the time.
“He was a strong and selfless friend. When confiding in one another, Sawyer always had the kindest words of encouragement. He will live on in my head and those shared moments forever.”
