Amanda Bynes earned the majority of her net worth through various acting roles on television and in films. As said above, she is also a fashion designer. She created her own fashion line Dear (created in 2007, but her store has been discontinued).
She has had a moderately successful career in music. Amanda used to earn between $2 and $3 million per year but that figure has diminished significantly over time. In June 2010, Amanda Bynes announced that she was retiring from acting to focus her time on building a fashion and fragrance line.
But this store has been discontinued. She had some problems with the law as well. In July 2013, Amanda’s parents sought court approval to have control over her daughter’s finances. According to them, Amanda had blown through $1.2 million of her savings in less than a year. Her parents said she was homeless at that time without a consistent source of income. Amanda regularly withdrew large amounts of cash from her bank account including $100,000. It’s possible that her net worth of $ 4 million is almost completely gone by now. But we can only speculate.
Amanda took some time for herself (and away from the spotlight). In November 2018 she made a return to public life.
