Who is Hester Frump?
Hester Frump, also known as Grandmama, is essayed by Joanna Lumley in the Netflix series, marking her entry in Episode 4.
She is introduced to the viewers in the series when Principal of Nevermore Academy, Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi), seems determined to secure a generous donation from her for the institution, as per Tom's Guide.
For this, Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday) uses her siren powers at the request of Dort to convince Wednesday Addams' mother, Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones), to ask her mother, Hester Frump, to donate to the academy.
Being a mortuary mogul, Hester Frump is presented as an extremely rich person in the series. She owns several funeral homes and nearly has a monopoly over the business, with Nevermore Academy Principal talking about it with Morticia when seeking a donation for the school.
The Addams family's net worth
Although Hester Frump's net worth is not known, the fortune of the Addams Family, led by Wednesday's father, Gomez Addams, has been estimated.
In a 2007 report, which was updated in 2011, Forbes estimated Gomez's total earnings to be worth $2 billion.
While the Addams family is rarely seen carrying out any work, Gomez is touted to be exorbitantly wealthy and resides in a Gothic mansion. In 1991, the story of The Addams Family revolved around the plan to steal the family fortune. According to Screen Rant, the wealth includes Gomez’s family inheritance as well as their success in many business ventures.
