Kristen DeAnn Alderson was born on the 29th May 1991, in Huntington Valley, Pennsylvania USA, and is an actress and singer, but probably best known for her role of Starr Manning in the ABC’s daytime soap opera “One Life to Live” which she portrayed between 1998 and 2012. From 2012 ’til 2015, Kristen Alderson reprised her Starr Manning role in “General Hospital” – a daytime drama which holds the Guinness World Record for the longest-running American TV soap opera, with 5082 episodes and counting.
Have you ever wondered how much wealth this soap opera star has accumulated so far? How rich Kristen Alderson is? According to sources, it is estimated that the total amount of Kristen Alderson’s overall net worth, as of late 2016, is over $3 million, primarily acquired through her “One Life to Live’ and “General Hospital’ engagements since 1998.
Kristen Alderson Net Worth $3 million
Kristen was born to Kathy and Richard Alderson, the elder of two children – her brother Eddie Alderson is also an actor, and for his performance in “One Life to Live” he was recognised with nominations for both Young Artist and Daytime Emmy Awards. Kristen’s interest in acting dates back to the early age of four, when her dance class took part in a local talent show. Her talent caught the eye of contract agents which led her to the role of Molly in “Annie”, a Broadway stage production.
Kristen’s acting career officially began when she was only six years old – in 1998 she was cast for the role of Starr Manning in “One Life to Live”, the daytime soap opera which aired on the ABC television network for 43 years between 1968 and 2012, following the everyday life of the Lord family. This role helped Kristen Alderson to establish herself as a young, promising actress in the global world of acting, and certainly provided the basis for her present overall net worth.
For her portrayal of Starr Manning, Kristen Alderson was rewarded with a Soap Opera Digest Favorite Teen Award in 2005. After the ABC announced the cancellation of “One Life to Live” in the late 2011, Kristen relocated to the world’s capital of the moviemaking industry, Los Angeles, California. In 2012, Alderson was cast as a regular member of “General Hospital” – currently ABC’s sole daytime soap opera which pictures the complicated lives of friends, families, lovers and enemies, as well as criminals gathered in New York’s upstate Port Charles. The series’ plot takes place in a busy hospital, diner, hotel and waterfront overwhelmed by the criminal underworld.
Since the show’s start in 2012, Kirsten has been reprising her role of Starr Manning, and for this engagement, in 2013 she was honored with a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama series. It is certain that this venture has been the primary source of Kristen Alderson’s recent rise in overall net worth.
In the early stages of 2015, Kristen Alderson publically announced that she had not renewed her contract, and was leaving the show. Later that year, she appeared in one episode of the sixth season of “TMI Hollywood” TV series. Doubtlessly, the latter engagement has added a sum to Kristen Alderson’s wealth.
When it comes to her personal life, Kristen Alderson was dating her “General Hospital” co-star Chad Duell between 2012 and 2015, but so far remains single.
