The Highest Celebrity Net Worths Will Blow Your Mind
You’re not ready for how much Netflix paid Daniel Craig for Knives Out…. 🤯
In the mood to feel super great about your finances and not at all like you got into the entirely wrong profession? Great, gather 'round to go over the shocking net worths of celebrities who are making so much money per year, they're literally breaking richness records. It's called being relatable :)
Even B-list and C-list actors make Scrooge McDuck look basic these days, thanks to Instagram spon-con, but we're here to talk about the celebrity one percent—aka actors and musicians who are padding their net worths with millions per year. How are they doing it, you ask while gently crying? Usually thanks to a combination of their day job, a hefty number of endorsements, and a personal brand or two that we can't stop pouring all our hard-earned money into (yes, I am talking about Skims).
And while some of the names on this list are obvious (think Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and other casual billionaires), there are a ton of celebs who are low-key loaded without it being a ~thing~ in the pop culture zeitgeist. Like, let's just say Tom Cruise has been making a lot of money for throwing himself out of random planes all these years, and I'm personally still coming down from how much Channing Tatum made from Magic Mike.
Check out the mind-blowing net worth of these celebs, and warning: Don't read this article directly after checking your bank account.
Emma Watson: $85 Million
Ever wondered how rich the cast of Harry Potter is? Lemme give you a little idea: Emma Watson's total net worth is $85 million. She made $70 million of that thanks to playing Hermione, and another $15 million thanks to Beauty and the Beast. BRB while I cast YET ANOTHER "accio money" spell.
Channing Tatum: $80 Million
On top of making $40 million for Magic Mike, Channing Tatum takes home upwards of $20 million per movie. As in, that's his baseline paycheck. So yeah, not surprising that his total net worth is $80 million.
Jennifer Lopez: $400 Million
You WILL be on the floor (heh) when you hear what J.Lo's net worth is. But first, a few fun facts: She earned $101.9 million for her 121-show Vegas residency and has a fragrance franchise worth $2 billion. Add that to all the $$$ she's made from movies, tours, and chart-topping singles, and J.Lo has a net worth of $400 million.
Kaley Cuoco: $100 Million
Gonna need you to take a deep breath and grab a paper bag to deep breathe into before we drop Kaley's Big Bang Theory earnings. Kay, ready? She made an estimated $163,380,000 for the show.
No words, just DJSADKJAKDHSJKAHD. Anyway, Kaley's total net worth is $100 million. It's fine, I'm fine!
Prince Harry: $60 Million
Prince Harry's net worth is a reported $60 million, thanks to various trust funds he has due to being a casual royal + his recent deals with Netflix and Spotify. But prepare to watch that number skyrocket thanks to a little something called Spare.
Sarah Jessica Parker: $200 Million
Once upon a time, Sarah Jessica Parker starred in Sex and the City, launched a profitable shoe line, and got that HBO reboot money. And just like that, she was rich! To the tune of $200 million.
Michael B. Jordan: $25 Million
Thanks to projects like Creed and Black Panther, major endorsements with the likes of Apple TV, and a pretty extensive real estate portfolio, Michael B. Jordan has a rapidly growing net worth of $25 million that shows no signs of slowing down.
Kim Kardashian: $1.8 Billion
Forbes officially declared Kim Kardashian a billionaire back in 2021—but in January of 2022, they revised that number to $1.8 billion. Relatable as ever.
Jackie Chan: $400 Million
After bringing in $2.6 billion in box office sales worldwide with over 200 movies, it's no surprise that Jackie Chan has a reported net worth of $400 million! And get this: He plans to give every dollar away.
The Rock: $800 Million
The Rock made $124 million in 2018 alone and is one of the highest paid celebs on Instagram. Expect him to settle into billionaire status soon, because his net worth is $800 million. On that note, a quick Q&A...
Q: Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?
A: Money.
Lauren Conrad: $40 Million
Despite being "The Girl Who Didn't Go to Paris," Lauren Conrad made $125,000 per episode of The Hills. But her real money came thanks to her fashion line and books. Nowadays? LC is worth $40 million. Read it and weep. (No, like literally, I'm near tears.)
Tom Cruise: $600 Million
Go ahead and take a guess at how much Tom Cruise is worth. 100 million? Please. $200 million? Don't make me lol. This man is worth $600 million, thanks to starring in the likes of Top Gun and Mission Impossible. He reportedly makes $7,091 per word of dialogue, THAT'S the level of rich he is.
Mariska Hargitay: $100 Million
If you've ever wondered how much Mariska Hargitay makes for starring on Law & Order: SVU, the answer is $500,000 per episode. Which adds up to $13 million per season. AND SHE DESERVES EVERY PENNY. Anyway, Mariska's total net worth is $100 million, which...!!!!!
Priyanka Chopra: $70 Million
Priyanka Chopra's net worth is $70 million, thanks to her extensive work in both Bollywood and Hollywood, her multiple personal brands, and her gazillllllllion endorsements. FYI, Priyanka just revealed that she earned equal pay with a male costar for the first time on Amazon's upcoming series Citadel.
Angela Bassett: $25 Million
Angela Bassett has a reported net worth of $25 million (that's a combined net worth with her husband Courtney B. Vance), in part thanks to her hefty payday for 9-1-1. And by hefty, I mean $450,000 per episode!
Jennifer Aniston: $320 Million
On top of making $1 million per episode during the last seasons of Friends, Jennifer Aniston makes about $20 million annually in royalties, $2 million per episode of The Morning Show, ~$8 million per movie, and millions in endorsements and brands. Basically, she has so many streams of income, she could never work again and be fine (by which I mean, super rich). Her total net worth? $320 million.
Naomi Osaka: $45 Million
Turns out being one of the best tennis players in the world pays, because Naomi Osaka has a net worth of $45 million. As of 2022, Naomi had more than $21 million in championship prize money, and she earned another $58 million from endorsement deals. (This is before taxes, etc.!)
Dolly Parton: $650 Million
You're truly not prepared for how much money Dolly Parton makes a year. For starters, back in 2021, Forbes reported that "9 to 5" and "Jolene" gross about $6 million to $8 million in royalties annually. Meanwhile, her music catalog is estimated to be worth $150 million. And Dolly's portion of Dollywood, you ask? Worth another $165 million. Hardly a shock that her net worth is $650 million!
Prince William: $100 Million
Prince William (or as Twitter calls him, the "Prince of Pegging") has the same trust funds that his brother does. But because he's first in line to the throne, this dude also has access to the Duchy of Cornwall—a private "portfolio of property and financial investments" that nets him ~£23 million a year. Thanks to that, uh, perk, his total net worth is $100 million.
Millie Bobby Brown: $14 Million
Last time we checked, Millie Bobby Brown was making $250,000 per episode of Stranger Things and about $10 million for the Enola Holmes sequel. Her net worth? $14 million. Is now a good time to mention she's just 18? 🙃
