Whoopi Goldberg Says She Can’t Afford to Retire After Three Divorces

Whoopi Goldberg, the 69-year-old co-host of "The View," has made it clear she has no plans to retire anytime soon, primarily citing financial reasons rather than a lack of passion for her work. Despite a long and successful career, Goldberg explained in multiple interviews that she "can't afford" to slow down or retire, humorously attributing her need to keep working to not having "married well." She has been married and divorced three times, noting that divorce can be financially taxing. Goldberg's work schedule on "The View" has slightly decreased, but she continues to be active in the entertainment industry and embraces her longevity in the field. While some fans have responded skeptically to her claims about finances, Goldberg has consistently emphasized that she works for a living and remains a working person. Fellow co-host Joy Behar also expressed a similar sentiment about continuing work, highlighting that creative people tend not to retire but keep going.
