Celeb Net Worth And Side Jobs

Celebrities are some of the most influential people with the biggest net worth. A single-acting project can earn them millions, and there are several other things that they can do to rake in more income. They can go behind the camera and make a living out of directing, start their own line of products, or they can endorse multi-million brands for profit. The possibilities are almost endless.

Just think of Angeline Jolie, for example. She started as an actress but later turned to direct films. It might just be a side hustle, but the pay is certainly not modest. Just like Angie, many celebrities have also turned to other industries to make some extra cash.

Whatever their move is, one thing is certain, these celebrities don’t just settle in one profession that can be gone in a snap. Smart move, isn’t it?

If you want to know which of your favorite celebrities have made some extra income from having different side hustles and business ventures, take a look at this list.
