Alyssa Milano asked her many followers and fans to chip in for her son’s youth baseball trip and because she’s perceived as incredibly wealthy, she’s getting dragged through the coals.
The actress posted a link to a GoFundMe account that she and her husband, David Bugliari, started on behalf of their kid’s 12U baseball team, which she calls a travel fund that’ll help the boys get to Cooperstown for a big tournament, plus other expenses.
She wrote, “My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation here”, after which, she linked to the GoFundMe page, which has a goal of raising $10,000.
The cash, the page says, will go toward travel costs, uniforms and family dues for players — and it benefits the whole team, of course … not just Alyssa’s son. Still, the internet’s pissed.
You can hop into the “Alyssa Milano” trend this AM to get a sense of what the hell everyone’s so angry about because of this, but it’s pretty straight-forward. People are complaining that Milano is a huge star, who’s presumably loaded and who can afford this with the snap of her finger. So … why is she going around soliciting donations like a normie???
As you can imagine, the jokes are flying at Alyssa’s expense, but a lot of folks are genuinely outraged that she’d try to fundraise considering her position. Even more interesting is the fact that in the list of visible donors, none appear to feature her name.
She hasn’t addressed all the hand-wringing just yet, but to be honest, this feels like a case of people making assumptions about her on a number of fronts and we’ll just leave it at that.
…even if she wasn’t a wealthy star…how many kids are on the team? How many parents have kids on the team? If there are 20-25 players, that means each parent needs to pony up about $ 400 to meet their goal. How hard is that? I’m betting that the parents of the other kids live in the same Zip Code as “The Star” which means they can all afford the $400. I think MA tried to use her “reach” to finance the trip, and has been shown to be a Grifter.
What is Alyssa Milano’s net worth in 2024?
Alyssa Milano’s net worth in 2024 is estimated to be in the $10 million range, per Celebrity Net Worth.
Her husband, David Bugliari, had an estimated net worth of $5 million. Bugliari was a partner at Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and is now part of Range Media Partners as a talent agent. He counts Bradley Cooper, Vince Vaughn, Shailene Woodley, Casey Affleck, Halle Berry and, yes, Milano, among his clients, so it’s unlikely they’re hurting for cash unless they’re spending like they have Elon Musk-level funds.
That said, Milano did have some financial issues in the past.
In 2017, Milano and Bugliari sued her former business managers Hellie, Hoffer and Company, LLP (HHC) for $10 million, alleging “negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and theft,” according to documents obtained by Variety. In the lawsuit, Milano and Bugliari claimed that HHC made eight mortgage payments late over a 13-month period, PEOPLE reported, and missed credit card and tax payments, leaving the couple “millions of dollars in debt.” They also alleged that HHC forged Milano’s signature on a $150,000 wire transfer. HHC denied any wrongdoing, telling Variety that Milano and Bugliari’s finances were “like the Johnny Depp situation,” insinuating that the couple were grossly overspending relative to their income levels.
In June 2019, PEOPLE reported that HHC settled with Milano and Bugliari for an undisclosed but satisfactory sum.

How much did Alyssa Milano get paid for Charmed?
Milano reportedly made $90,000 per episode of Charmed on the low end, while her former co-star Rose McGowan previously claimed that Milano made as much as $250,000 per week on the series and behaved in an “appalling” manner toward the crew and her castmates.
Milano’s dynamic with co-stars Holly Marie Combs and Shannen Doherty has come under a microscope following Doherty’s release of her own podcast, Let’s Be Clear.
