Who is Will Kopelman?
Will Kopleman was born on 7 July 1978, in New York City, USA, and is an actor who has appeared in several films throughout his career, but is perhaps better known for being the former husband of actress Drew Barrymore. The couple were married from 2012 to 2016.
The Wealth of Will Kopelman
How rich is Will Kopelman? As of late-2018, sources estimate a net worth that is at $5 million, earned largely through a successful career in acting. His net worth was also elevated somewhat thanks to the success of his former wife, who has a net worth estimated at $125 million. As he continues his endeavors, it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.
Early Life, Family, and Education
Will was born into a high profile family, with his father being the businessman and philanthropist Arie L. Kopelman, who is known for serving as the President and CEO of luxury fashion brand Chanel from 1986 to his retirement in 2004; he remains as a Vice Chairman of the Board of the company. Will grew up with his sister Jill, who would become involved in the entertainment industry as well, mainly as a writer.
After matriculating from high school, he enrolled into Boston University to complete a bachelor’s degree. He was a fan of various films since he was young, and particularly enjoyed Steven Spielberg movies, and the works of David Lynch and Woody Allen. He made his acting debut in 2000 in the film “Intern”, which focuses on the story of an underappreciated intern in a magazine company, who must learn to deal with numerous challenges as she tries to get the attention of an art director who she is interested in.
Drew Barrymore
Drew is from the Barrymore family of actors, being the granddaughter of John Barrymore. She’s been active in the film industry since the 1980s, beginning her professional acting career as a child. During her career, she’s received numerous accolades including a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a BAFTA nomination. Despite a troubled childhood marked by alcohol and drug abuse, she bounced back to produce numerous high profile films, with some she worked on including “Scream” and “The Wedding Singer”, which became the first among several projects on which she would work with Adam Sandler.
Other high profile projects she’s worked on include “Charlie’s Angels”, “Donnie Darko”, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”, “50 First Dates”, and “Blended”. She is also a star of the Netflix series entitled “Santa Clarita Diet”. She owns a production company called Flower Films which has created films in which she has starred, as well as numerous business ventures including wines, a clothing line, and cosmetics. She has also tried her hand at directorial work with the film “Whip It”, and now has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of her efforts.

Marriage and Divorce
The couple would have two daughters, and the family resided at the Upper East Side of New York City. However, in 2016 the couple released a statement confirming that they had separated and were intending on a divorce, which was filed during the middle of the year and finalized a month later. No details have been shared as to why their relationship ended.
Aftermath and Personal Life
The two subsequently went on their separate paths, and Will would transition from acting to consulting, as he realized that he was not making any ground in terms of an acting career. He now has high profile clients including Lake Bell, Robert Pattinson and Zooey Deschanel.
Aside from Drew, he is known to have been in relationships with actresses Lara Flynn Boyle and Sarah Roemer. During his free time, he enjoys going to the shooting range – according to him, his interest in guns began while watching the show “Miami Vice” when he was younger, but his grandfather is a World War II veteran. Will also enjoys snowboarding during his free time.
He previously owned a West Hollywood house, which was considered as the “Best Bachelor Pad” in LA in an issue of “Elle Décor” magazine
