Real Estate Assets
In 2015, news surfaced that Judd acquired a home in Kentucky. Surprisingly modest for a celebrity, the Ashland house was priced at just $130,000. Likely driven by nostalgia, this was the same home once owned by her father and where Judd spent much of her childhood.
She also owns a 4,000-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills. Judd has a notable stake in Tennessee agricultural land which she purchased from Clint Eastwood. The farm produces organic products.
Other Investments
In addition to real estate, Judd also has investments in a Rooftop bar in Austin and a Wine brand based out of Mexico. Such small investments have made really good money for Judd.
For example, she invested $100,000 in the Wine making company and today her equity is valued at $1.2 million. Similarly, Judd took a 6% equity in the Restaurant business by paying $410,000. Today her stake is worth over $2 million.
Financial Losses
Between 2005 and 2008, actress Ashley Judd faced significant financial setbacks, losing $1.5 million of her net worth in the stock market. Much of this loss was due to the financial crisis that severely impacted many investments during that time.
One of her major losses was in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEH), whose stock plummeted from $80 to $0 after the firm’s bankruptcy in 2008. This collapse resulted in a $600,000 loss for Judd.
Similarly, Bear Stearns Companies Inc. (BSC) saw its stock drop from $160 to just $2 as the company struggled and was eventually sold to JPMorgan Chase. This decline led to a $500,000 loss of wealth for Ashley Judd.
General Motors Co. also contributed to Judd’s financial difficulties. The stock fell from $40 to $4 during the automotive industry’s downturn and GM’s bankruptcy proceedings, causing a $400,000 loss. In total, Judd lost 5% of her net worth from these investments.
