Ellen Pompeo recently marked a major career achievement by receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. By her side was her husband Chris Ivery, as well as two of their children, Stella and Eli.
Although Ellen Pompeo has been a household name for a long time thanks to her work as Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy, Ivery has generally maintained a low public profile.
Chris Ivery is a music producer and entrepreneur from Los Angeles. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he has been able to create an impressive career within the music business. He co-wrote the song Cheers (Drink to That), which was included in the NBC musical series Smash.
In addition to his music, Chris Ivery has delved into fashion with his brand STLA Clothing, which is influenced by the streetwear and sports culture of the 1980s.
When it comes to Ivery's net worth, it is around $80 million. Although some of this is related to Pompeo’s lucrative television career, Ivery has racked up a pretty good amount of money of his own with music and business ventures.
The couple have been making smart real estate investments over the years, like the Malibu estate they purchased for around $30 million. They also had a farmhouse in the Hamptons, which they sold last year for about three times what they paid, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Chris Ivery and Ellen Pompeo keep their relationship as a priority, opting to keep their personal life private. Pompeo has been candid in the past about having a husband who is supportive of her career as well as her motherhood. Ivery has also expressed his support several times, calling himself Pompeo’s biggest fan.
"It’s just sort of supporting each other. And, obviously, with three kids it’s ample. Her on set, me downtown, it’s a lot. But she’s my biggest fan. I’m her biggest fan," he said during a 2019 interview with US Weekly.
