How Much Was Actor Betty Lynn Worth When She Died?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Betty Lynn had a net worth of approximately $3 million when she died on October 16. That includes her earnings from dozens of TV and film roles, including her memorable character Thelma Lou on "The Andy Griffith Show."

While fans may be surprised that such a recognizable, well-off star would leave California for a small Southern town, Lynn loved living in Mount Airy, North Carolina, which was her co-star Andy Griffith's hometown, too. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Lynn moved to the Tar Heel State after her Los Angeles home was burglarized twice — the Mount Airy retirement home may have been a nice change of pace.

"I have loved it, I think God just picked me up and put me there and said, 'Here this is where you're supposed to be until I bring you back home,'" Lynn told WYMT in 2018 of her new hometown. Her reported $3 million net worth surely went a long way in the small town, which has a population of approximately 10,000 people, per City Data.
