Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz Left a Considerable Amount of Money to Their Daughter Lucie Arnaz

When she was almost 2 months old, Lucie Arnaz's mother and father started a journey that would change their lives forever. On Oct. 15, 1951, I Love Lucy premiered on CBS. Over the course of six seasons, viewers spent countless nights witnessing the wacky antics of Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) and her long-suffering singer/husband Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz).

In the years after the show ended, Lucie and her brother Desi Arnaz Jr . would often make television appearances with their parents. Whether it was on Lucille's own show or perhaps co-hosting Saturday Night Live with Desi, the kids were definitely entertainers. Lucie in particular took a liking to the stage, and it took a liking right back. She was able to carve out a lifelong career which has contributed to her net worth. Let's take a look.

Lucie Arnaz's net worth is something to sing about!

Lucie Araz's net worth is reportedly $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth . Much of this came from inheritance she received when both her parents passed away.
