rr Whoopi Goldberg faces backlash as retirement rumors collide with shocking money troubles behind ‘The View’.
Whoopi Goldberg griped that she’s too poor to retire – despite sitting on a reported $20 million nest egg – and RadarOnline.com can reveal ABC brass are so fed up with The View host’s repeated on – and off-air gaffes that they may be close to pulling the plug on her 18-year reign.
While ratings remain high at the show, sources said network executives were stung by the thrice-divorced queen bee blabbing: “If you don’t marry well, you gotta keep working.”

The comment comes months after a similarly shocking statement.
Whoopi, who is said to earn $8 million annually as one of the highest-paid women on TV, shared on-air in November 2024: “I appreciate that people are having a hard time.”

The co-host then added: “Me, too – I work for a living. If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, OK? So, I’m a working person, you know?”
An ABC insider said of the 69-year-old’s latest blunder: “It’s tone-deaf. Everyday people are struggling, and Whoopi’s crying poor on daytime TV. It makes her look completely out of touch.”
However, the funnylady’s latest remarks are just the tip of the iceberg.
As RadarOnline.comreported, Goldberg was suspended from The View for two weeks in February 2022 after claiming the Holocaust – in which Nazis killed more than 6 million Jews – was “not about race.”
