Early Life

Eric Anthony Roberts was born on April 18, 1956, in Biloxi, Mississippi. His parents were actors and playwrights who co-founded an acting and writing workshop in Atlanta, Georgia. They also ran a children's acting school in Georgia. Not surprisingly, Eric and his younger sister Julia began acting from a very young age. However, life wasn't always easy for the two Roberts children. Their parents separated in 1971, and the divorce was final by 1972.

Eric was then separated from his sisters and raised by his father. Unfortunately, his father then died of cancer within the space of a few years. Although he became distant from his mother and sisters after this point, it wasn't going much better on their side of the family. His mother married an abusive and often unemployed new husband, and she later stated that it was "the biggest mistake of her life."

In summary, the total wealth of Eric Roberts reflects strategic moves.
