You\u2019re going to be on the longest-running soap opera in Italy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Goldberg admitted that she was somewhat apprehensive about her Italian soap opera debut, revealing that, while she has ample experience working on American TV, she wasn&#8217;t sure how the experience would differ in Europe. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I only know soap operas here, so I don\u2019t know,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I love a soap opera.

See you on TV,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>In the caption of the June Instagram post, it was revealed that Goldberg&#8217;s character would premiere in the series in 2026 for multiple episodes.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Goldberg is no stranger to Italian culture, having long owned a vacation home in Sardinia, where she lives in one of the world&#8217;s rare &#8220;blue zones.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>While speaking to <strong>Jimmy Fallon<\/strong> on the &#8220;Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon&#8221; in 2024, she noted that Sardinia is one of the first designated &#8220;blue zones,&#8221; which refers to an area where people live longer, happier lives.<\/p>\n<p>She noted that people live longer &#8220;because they don&#8217;t have a lot of BS to have to deal with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/2e03fa819c941f6f0a7c18c49ce66e68w-c3215264207srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1057972\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Although she didn&#8217;t reveal exactly what her work abroad entailed, fans assumed it was for her role in the famous Italian soap opera  &#8220;Un Posto Al Sole,&#8221; which she revealed she landed in June. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Taylor Hill\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/ade3b041ef4cd620a152a7e981cffaa5w-c1242799897srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1057973\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At the time, Goldberg made the announcement via social media and told her fans that she was &#8220;happy&#8221; to be featured in the series. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Bruce Glikas\/WireImage)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/4c843b52b4c923717de59a7645a9d316w-c1621880942srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-988947\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Just mere days ago on the podcast &#8220;Behind the Table,&#8221; Goldberg said that she got the role after &#8220;looking for things to do.&#8221; <span class=\"image-credit\">(Fred Lee\/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not always sure why we&#8217;re stressed, but people\u2014you see it when you walk down the street.

You know&#8221; she said referring to Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about Italy, Goldberg added, &#8220;There&#8217;s not a lot of stinky stuff in the air, and there&#8217;s not a lot of&nbsp;crap in the food.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our ways of doing things, I think, are not always the best ways for us. So we&#8217;re starting to recognize that we&#8217;re eating things that have things we can&#8217;t pronounce. If you can&#8217;t pronounce it, don&#8217;t put it in your mouth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg previously owned a property in Stintino, however, she has since offloaded it.<\/p>\n<p>Her hiatus from &#8220;The View&#8221; comes after she confessed that she &#8220;can&#8217;t afford to retire.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Oscar-winning actress\u2014who has a net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth\u2014told\u00a0&#8220;Entertainment Tonight&#8221;\u00a0that, because she did not &#8220;marry well,&#8221; she is forced to carry on making her own living.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you don\u2019t marry well, you got to keep working,&#8221; the TV host, who has been married three times, said.<\/p>\n<p>When the reporter suggested that Goldberg &#8220;could probably afford&#8221; to retire thanks to her longtime Hollywood career, the TV host replied, &#8220;No, not by now. Not yet. I gotta keep paying those bills, baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite Goldberg&#8217;s insistence that she has not yet earned enough money to take a step back from the daily grind, she does boast a small fortune when compared with the average person. It includes a sizable mansion that is one of a host of properties the actress has bought and sold over the years.<\/p>\n<p>However, her life has not always been quite so glamorous or lavish, beginning in a small unit in the Chelsea-Elliott Houses in Manhattan&#8217;s Chelsea neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy room was in the back, just a bed and a bureau and windows. It\u2019s a great place to grow up, because we were outside 98% of the time, winter and summer. We all were poor, and we all knew it, but it somehow didn\u2019t really stop us from doing anything,&#8221; she previously told&nbsp;Vulture&nbsp;of her childhood abode.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/069841f1f2dc014aed8202f43ed39551w-c2067534371srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1091891\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Goldberg holds the keys to a sprawling vacation home in Sardinia, Italy, which she has previously gushed about.  <span class=\"image-credit\">(Giovanni Mereghetti\/UCG\/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/106fa7e402210c6306b53372578bce24w-c3989161345srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1057976\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Goldberg&#8217;s main residence is a New Jersey pad, which she snapped up in 2009 for $2.8 million.  <span class=\"image-credit\">(Google Maps)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Goldberg lived there until moving to&nbsp;California&nbsp;when she got married to&nbsp;<strong>Alvin Martin<\/strong>&nbsp;in 1973 at the age of 18.

Proving her fondness for clinging to her favorite property finds, Goldberg kept that dwelling for 25 years before offloading it for $8.8 million in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, the TV host set her sights on a cozy&nbsp;Vermont&nbsp;getaway with 6,100 square feet, four bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms.<\/p>\n<p>She sold the property in 2012 for $1.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, she picked up a full-floor loft in SoHo, which sprawled across 3,800 square feet, for $4 million.
