Louis-Dreyfus Was Born Into Billions

Louis-Dreyfus was born on Jan. 13, 1961, in New York City and is the oldest daughter of billionaire financier Gerard Louis-Dreyfus. Gerard is the chairman of the Louis-Dreyfus Group and worth $4 billion. Julia’s great-great-grandfather, Léopold Louis-Dreyfus, founded the Louis-Dreyfus Group in 1851.

From College Dropout to ‘Saturday Night Live’

Louis-Dreyfus attended Northwestern University but dropped out to pursue acting. At the age of 21, she was cast on “Saturday Night Live.” She stayed with the show from 1982-1985. After she left, she was in hits like “Christmas Vacation” and “Hannah and Her Sisters.”

In 1987, Louis-Dreyfus married comedian Brad Hall. They went on to have two children together.

How Louis-Dreyfus Landed ‘Seinfeld’

Though it seems impossible to imagine now, Louis-Dreyfus’ character, Elaine, wasn’t originally supposed to be featured in “Seinfeld.” After the pilot aired in 1989, executives at NBC said the show had too many men and asked creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld to add a role for a woman. David had met Louis-Dreyfus on “SNL” and remembered her when it came time to cast for the role of Elaine. She won the role and wowed audiences so much that she won an Emmy in 1996.

In 1993, Louis-Dreyfus and the rest of the supporting cast negotiated raises to earn $150,000 per episode. In 1997, the supporting cast asked for $1 million per episode. The network countered with $200,000, then $400,000. The final deal was $600,000 per episode for the show’s final season or $15 million in total per cast member.

Louis-Dreyfus Finds More Fame on the Small Screen

Louis-Dreyfus’ next big project after “Seinfeld” came when she landed the guest role of Maggie Lizer on “Arrested Development” in 2004. In 2005, she snagged her first starring role as Christine in the sitcom “The New Adventures of Old Christine.” She won yet another Emmy for her critically acclaimed performance. The show ended in 2010.

From 2012 to 2019, Louis-Dreyfus played Vice President Selina Meyer on “Veep.” Louis-Dreyfus was paid $500,000 per episode. Yet again, Louis-Dreyfus scored not one but six Emmys for her performance. With endorsement deals and other income sources, she earned around $8 million annually in recent years, making her one of the five highest-paid TV actresses in the world.

In 2020, Louis-Dreyfus signed a deal with Apple TV+ where she will be developing new content for the streaming service.

Trump's threat to impose tariffs could raise prices for consumers, colliding with promise for relief
If Donald Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation. The president-elect floated the tariff idea, including additional 10% taxes on goods from China, as a way to force the countries to halt the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the U.S. But his posts Monday on Truth Social threatening the tariffs on his first day in office could just be a negotiating ploy to get the countries to change behavior. High food prices were a major issue in voters picking Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, but tariffs almost certainly would push those costs up even further.
