Andrew Shue net worth is estimated at $20 million. That is the figure Celebrity Net Worth lists on its page, which was updated in October 2026. Sportskeeda printed the same number in 2023.

Most people know Shue as Billy Campbell on Melrose Place. But the acting years are not where most of his money came from. According to Celebrity Net Worth, his wealth comes mainly from internet businesses. This guide breaks down where the money came from, what is confirmed, and what is only an estimate.

Andrew Shue Net Worth: What Is He Worth in 2026?

The most common estimate is $20 million. Celebrity Net Worth gives that number and says it is calculated from public sources. It also states that its figures are estimates.

Sportskeeda’s 2023 profile gives the same $20 million. It credits the figure to another site, HotNewHipHop, and does not verify it. So there are really only a couple of independent voices behind the number.

Here is what that means in plain words:

$20 million is a reasonable ballpark, not an audited total.
No one outside his circle can see his taxes, investments, or private deals.
His stake in his business ventures is not public, so the estimate could be off in either direction.

How Andrew Shue Made His Money

Shue earned in four main ways over the years: acting, online businesses, a short soccer career, and property sales. His nonprofit work, such as DoSomething, is a cause he cares about, not a major income source.

Acting: Melrose Place and Films

Wikipedia says Shue was cast as Billy Campbell in May 1992. He stayed as a series regular on Melrose Place from 1992 to 1998, appearing in 191 episodes.

Celebrity Net Worth gives no pay figures for the show. I could not find a reliable source for his per-episode salary either. Any number you see online for his Melrose Place pay is a guess.

His film credits include The Karate Kid, Adventures in Babysitting, and Gracie (2007).

Online Business: CafeMom and Beyond

This is the part that explains the bigger numbers. Shue and his childhood friend Michael Sanchez ran CMI Marketing from 1999. Its earlier site, ClubMom, closed in 2007. They launched CafeMom in late 2006.

Wikipedia’s CafeMom page reports several money details:

2008: a headline cited on the page says CafeMom raised $12 million.
2010: Yahoo evaluated buying CafeMom for as much as $100 million, and The Walt Disney Company was reported as interested. The page does not say a deal was completed.
2010 to 2011: reported annual revenue of about $30 million, then $36 million.
June 2018: Wild Sky Media acquired the CafeMom website.

Celebrity Net Worth also connects Shue to CafeMedia and its ad business AdThrive, now known as Raptive. Crunchbase lists him as a co-founder of CafeMedia. I could not read a primary source on his current ownership or role, so treat his stake as unknown.

Soccer: Love of the Game, Not a Big Payday

Shue played soccer at Dartmouth from 1985 to 1988, with 53 appearances and 8 goals, according to Wikipedia. After college, he played for the Bulawayo Highlanders in Zimbabwe in 1990. The team won the league and the CBZ Cup that year.

Back in the United States, he played indoor soccer in 1993 and 1994. In 1996, he joined the LA Galaxy and recorded one assist in five games while still filming Melrose Place. He spent 1997 on injured reserve.

Soccer paid far less than TV or tech. It matters more for his story than for his bank balance.

Real Estate: Reported Home Sales

Celebrity Net Worth reports these property moves:

2013: bought 17 acres in Garrison, New York, for $760,000. He sold it in August 2023 for $3.1 million.
2013: reportedly rented a five-bedroom Financial District triplex in New York for $16,800 a month.
2018: bought a West Village apartment for $4,012,500. He sold it in February 2023 for $5.1 million.

On paper, those two sales brought in about $8.2 million before costs, taxes, and any mortgage. That is my own addition of the reported sale prices, so treat it as a rough figure.

Acting vs. Business: Which Built More Wealth?

It is tempting to think a hit TV show makes someone rich for life. In Shue’s case, the sources point the other way.

Celebrity Net Worth says his fortune comes mainly from his internet businesses. CafeMom’s reported numbers show why. A site that reached $36 million in yearly revenue in 2011, and drew a possible $100 million bid from Yahoo a year earlier, is a bigger asset than most TV salaries.

That does not mean Shue personally pocketed those amounts. A founder shares ownership with partners and investors, and CafeMom took outside funding. How big his share was is not public. So the point is the scale of the business, not a claim about his payout.

Acting still mattered. The fame from Melrose Place gave him a public name, and that name likely helped when he built and promoted his projects. That is my reading, not something a source states.

Key Takeaways

Andrew Shue’s net worth is estimated at $20 million by Celebrity Net Worth.
Most of his wealth is credited to internet businesses, not acting.
CafeMom reported about $36 million in annual revenue in 2011, and Yahoo once evaluated a bid of up to $100 million.
Reported home sales in 2023 added up to about $8.2 million in sale prices.
His Melrose Place pay and business stakes are not public.
He reportedly married Marilee Fiebig on November 1, 2026.

Early Life and Education

Shue grew up in a well-off family. His father, James Shue, was a lawyer and real estate developer who died in 2013. His mother, Anne, worked in banking. He attended Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, and was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1994.

He then studied history at Dartmouth College and graduated in 1989. His sister, Elisabeth Shue, became a well-known actress.

DoSomething: His Biggest Cause

Shue co-founded DoSomething with Michael Sanchez, his childhood best friend. Celebrity Net Worth dates the founding to 1994 and lists the “Teens for Jeans” drive as one example of its work. Wikipedia says he still sits on its board and gives no founding year.

It is a youth community-service nonprofit. It is worth including here because it shapes his public image. But nonprofits do not add to a founder’s net worth, so it should not be counted in his $20 million.

Gracie: A Personal Film Project

In 2007, Shue co-produced and co-wrote Gracie and played Coach Owen Clark in a small role. He worked on it with his sister Elisabeth, his brother John, and brother-in-law Davis Guggenheim, who directed it.

Wikipedia says the film honors their brother Will, who died in an accident in 1988. It was a family project first and a business project second.

2026 Update: Andrew Shue’s Wedding

In early November 2026, several outlets reported that Shue married Marilee Fiebig. JustJared says the wedding took place on Sunday, November 1, at their farm outside Stockton, New Jersey. Yahoo, citing MailOnline, reports the same location.

Fiebig is an attorney and the former wife of T.J. Holmes. The couple began dating in December 2023, according to Yahoo. They announced their engagement the month before the wedding.

One caution for readers: Celebrity Net Worth’s page, updated October 22, 2026, still describes him as engaged. That reflects the timing, not a conflict. The page was written before the wedding.

No outlet I read gave financial details about the marriage.

Marriages and Family

Jennifer Hageney: married in 1994 and divorced in 2008. They have three sons.
Amy Robach: married in 2010. A separation was reported in August 2022, and the divorce was reportedly finalized in March 2023.
Marilee Fiebig: married in November 2026, per recent reports.

Divorces can affect a person’s wealth. But no reliable source I found gives settlement figures for either of Shue’s divorces. So I have not tried to guess how they changed his net worth.

Why Net Worth Sites Disagree

You may see very different numbers for Shue across the web. There are three common reasons:

Copying: many sites repeat each other without checking a source.
Old data: some pages were written years ago and never updated.
Private holdings: his business stakes are not public, so every estimate is built on guesses.

The safest approach is to trust numbers that name a source, and to read any total as a range rather than a fact.

What Could Change Andrew Shue’s Net Worth Next?

This section is informed guessing, not fact. A few things could move the estimate in the coming years:

Business results: if his online business interests grow or are sold, the estimate would likely rise.
Property: he sold two major properties in 2023, so his real estate holdings may now be smaller. Celebrity Net Worth lists no newer purchases.
Updates to the estimate: net worth sites revise numbers from time to time. Celebrity Net Worth’s page has a correction form for tips.

For now, $20 million remains the number most sites repeat.

What We Still Do Not Know

His real net worth after taxes, debts, and spending
His Melrose Place pay
How much he earned from CafeMom and CafeMedia
His current ownership or role at Raptive
How his two divorces affected his finances

Anyone who lists these with certainty is guessing.
