Wendie Malick has had a ton of iconic roles over the years, so it’s only fair that the actor leads a pretty lavish life. However, far from her wealth making her out of touch, the “Young Sheldon” star has long spoken about issues that concern everyone, and even used her platform to call out billionaires and corporations for prioritizing profit over the environment.

Malick’s commitment to sustainability is not just rhetoric. She and her husband own an expansive ranch in Topanga valued between $4 and $6 million, a property they have designed to be eco-friendly. In a 2023 conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Malick discussed the home’s extensive use of solar power. They have also opted for radiant heating and ceiling fans to minimize reliance on traditional air conditioning systems, and they source their water from a personal well. Their approach truly embodies the principle of living well while doing good for the planet.

Malick’s sustainable lifestyle extends beyond her home. In her interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she candidly shared her decision to eschew frequent shopping sprees. “I realized a couple of years ago that I’m going to wear dresses repeatedly. I can shop in my own closet. I have enough stuff,” she remarked, emphasizing her commitment to reducing unnecessary consumption.

Despite her glamorous career and high-profile lifestyle, Malick maintains a sense of normalcy. She humorously noted the laid-back nature of her Topanga community, where residents can casually visit the post office in pajamas and everyone is on a first-name basis. As she told The Hollywood Reporter, “I love coming home to this place where you can go to the post office in your pajamas, and everybody knows your name.” Whether she is recognized as Wendie Malick or her beloved character Victoria Chase, one thing is certain: she remains an icon in both her professional and personal endeavors.

It certainly doesn’t hurt that the “stuff” in Malick’s closet happens to be pretty fabulous, too. Case in point: in 2023, her daughter Gwenn Malick shared a TikTok video of herself in some of her mom’s iconic red carpet looks over the years. “I didn’t realize my mom was cool until I started raiding her closet,” Gwenn wrote. As for Malick, once she got wind of the little try-on sesh, she shared a cheeky quip to X, formerly known as Twitter. “Daughter, dear ~ it’s about time you realized I have excellent taste!” Kind of sad she didn’t remind her daughter she was “the reigning queen of fashion,” but we’ll let it slide. She went on to issue her daughter with a sweet, “You wear them well.”

Iconic outfits and uber-sustainable home aside, despite her lavish lifestyle, Malick has mentioned in the past that she lives a pretty normal life. In fact, she joked to The Hollywood Reporter that in addition to all the nature surrounding her Topanga home, one of the things she loved most about her community was how low-key it was. “I love coming home to this place where you can go to the post office in your pajamas, and everybody knows your name,” she told the outlet. TBD whether that name is Malick or Victoria Chase. Either way, she’s iconic.
