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?

She established HARPO productions, one of her earlier investments, and followed it up with a few more that eventually raked in millions for her each year. Currently, Winfrey is busy producing two movies. The first one is a remake of Color Purple, and the other is yet undisclosed. Although her talk show has long ended, Oprah still continues to make a ton of money from its series spinoffs, including Dr. Phil and The Dr. Oz Show.

He is still very much in demand as an actor these days and it seems that his popularity won’t wane any time soon. Indeed, Cruise filmed for a few movies recently that are expected to be blockbuster hits when they come out.

Zoey Deschanel | $25 Million | Musician and Website Founder

Zooey Deschanel is the ultimate charming and humorous actress. It is not a surprise that her movies, including (500) Days of Summer and Almost Famous, made it big in the industry in the early 2000s,

While earning a spotlight in Hollywood, Deschanel also made big amounts of cash as a musician. She maintains a band called She & Him, a musical duo with M. Ward that was able to release their first album in 2008. She has a net worth of $25 million from her movie endorsement deals and music gigs.

Deschanel went into online publishing and co-founded a women’s website called HelloGiggles. Together with Molly McAleer and Sophia Rossi, the actress put up the platform in 2011 with the mission to be a positive online community for women, providing content that focuses on beauty, style, career, identity, and culture.

But it was not all about positivity for this new venture. Deschanel consulted her lawyers after her agent, Sarah Jackson, filed a lawsuit against her, seeking income from the actress’s website. Later on, the actress replaced her talent agency.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt | $35 Million | Start-up Founder

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of the few child actors in Hollywood who was able to remain successful into adulthood. Starting at the early age of six, Gordon-Levitt was able to transition from kid’s roles to serious ones, thanks to his effective acting. This success made Levitt’s salary increase as years went by, giving him a steady source of income as a celebrity.

But acting is not all Levitt is interested in. While working on the silver screen for almost 30 years, Goron-Levitt was able to put up a start-up company on the side. With a 35 million dollar net worth, Gordon didn’t need to apply for a business loan to put up the company. Just by using his personal savings, Gordon-Levitt was able to establish the company, whose goal is to help creatives around the world showcase their talents.

Steve Carell | $80 Million | General Store Owner

The character Michael Scott from NBC’s hit sitcom, The Office, will always stick with Steve Carell. His astounding portrayal of the nasty boss in the comedy show was such a fan-favorite that he will be forever associated with it for decades to come.

But aside from Carell’s career in Hollywood, he also has a side job as a general store owner. Considering that he is a rich and highly sought-after actor who can buy into businesses that yield cash, it was a curious thing that Carell decided to put his investment money on Marshfield Hills General Store in Massachusetts.

According to him, the place has sentimental value as it was witness to many of his childhood memories. The actor wanted to preserve it as a local landmark where people can go and have a cup of coffee. After all, with his whopping $80 million net worth, Carell is not after the revenue.

Gabrielle Union | $40 Million | Book Author

Gabrielle Union has always been an active voice, protecting people of color. She is an actress who started working in the 90s.

Some of her earnings were also put into real-estate investments, some of which she bought with her husband Dwayne Wade.

To help the various causes she’s advocating for, Union became an author and released a memoir, We’re Going to Need More Wine. Her best-selling book is a collection of essays that tackle gender, race, and Hollywood. We’re not sure if she’ll be starring in a movie soon, but suffice to say that we’ll be surprised if she does, given her busy schedule.

Kristin Cavallari | $30 Million | Businesswoman

In 2017, Cavallari founded Uncommon James, a lifestyle brand that sells jewelry and all kinds of accessory items. The actress did not need cash loans to establish her company. Cavallari had a $30 million net worth at the time and allotted a portion of her savings to put up the brand instead of risking getting into debt. Today, the company is said to have bagged more than $20 million in sales. The running of her business was one of the focuses of her reality show, Very Cavallari.

As if being an actress and an entrepreneur were not enough, Cavallari also took on the role of an author when she released her two New York Times best-selling books on cooking, health, and happiness.

Paris Hilton | $300 Million | Former Radio DJ

Paris Hilton may have been known as a hotel heiress and socialite but it cannot be denied that she has come a long way from her wayward, party girl image.

Now sitting with on a $300 million as net worth, the socialite rose from being a reality TV star to a successful business magnate. She wore all sorts of hats, including a fragrance endorser, model, book author, singer, and disc jockey. In 2014, Hilton became the highest-paid female DJ with a salary of $1 million per night.

Hilton also bought into real-estate properties across Los Angeles and New York. Even though she had the best home security, burglars still found a way to steal from her property. Her LA mansion was jeopardized in 2007 when burglars entered the vicinity. Amidst this incident, Hilton continued buying high-end properties under her name, including homes in Beverly Hills, Manhattan, and Hollywood Hills.

Nicole Richie | $10 Million | Novelist

Who would have thought that the once partygoer and best friend of socialite, Paris Hilton, will eventually turn into a best-selling fiction writer? Nichole Richie has broken barriers ever since she left the glitz and glamour that comes with starring in The Simple Life with her then best pal. Richie, who is the daughter of singer Lionel Richie, became sober, focused on her growing family, opened a few businesses, and wrote books on the side. She is the author behind the novel The Truth About Diamonds, which had a story that was somewhat linked to her own life, and Priceless, a book about a rich girl who faced battles after her father was imprisoned.

Christina Aguilera | $160 Million | Philanthropist

Christina Aguilera’s vocal prowess and distinctive charisma on stage have led her to become one of the most successful pop singers of her generation. She was a five-time Grammy Award-winner who had numerous endorsement deals. The opportunity to be on the silver screen also came knocking at her door and she got success from the 2010 film, Burlesque, with Cher.

With a massive net worth of $160 million, Aguilera could have bought into a few investments to grow her wealth but devoted her time to philanthropic work instead, donating millions to charities whose causes she wanted to advocate for. She has donated $200,000 to a women’s center in Pittsburgh and has raised over $140 million for World Food Program (WFP). She was also a former spokesman for World Hunger Relied as well as a United Nations ambassador for WFP.

Reese Witherspoon | $200 Million | Book Club Founder

Part of Reese Witherspoon’s popularity can be attributed to her iconic Legally Blonde character, Elle Woods. An award-winning actress and producer, Witherspoon has a $200 million net worth that largely came from her earnings as an actress, entrepreneur, and brand ambassador for skin and makeup line, Elizabeth Arden. As a well-established personality, Witherspoon is said to be able to get up to $20 million in annual earnings.

Now that she has more time to pursue other opportunities outside Hollywood, the 44-year-old star has kept a tight schedule, managing her time between the things she’s involved with. She founded a book club recently that offers audio-programming, video-on-demand channels, and podcasts. There’s no news yet about whether she’ll be appearing in a film soon, but it’s clearly within the realm of possibility given that she’s a highly sought-after actress.

Jennifer Lopez | $400 Million | Executive Producer

One of Hollywood’s A-listers, Jennifer Lopez has been in the industry for over 25 years. It’s not at all surprising that she has a net worth of $400 million given all the projects that she’s been involved with. A well-rounded and multi-talented star, Lopez has been singing, dancing, and acting for as long as we can remember and yet she remains the humble Jenny from The Block.

While maintaining her star status, Lopez’s money management skills were put to good use when she decided to launch her own production company, Nuyorican Productions. The company has already produced over six films and 12 TV series.

In addition to her growing wealth, Lopez released her designer clothing line, JLO, in 2003. She also released a perfume line, GLOW, in the same year, and has since then established a name in the fragrance industry as a top mover.

Britney Spears | $59 Million | Perfume Brand Owner

The late 90s have seen Britney Spears’ rise to fame — indeed, she was often referred to at the time as the Princess of Pop. She rose to fame for her studio albums, Hit Me Baby One More Time and Oops I Did It Again.

Spears is said to have acquired a net worth of $59 million from all of her singing projects and endorsement deals. Part of her earnings came from her side job as a perfume brand owner. Her brand, Curious, was launched in 2004 and now has over 20 fragrances in its line. Her fragrant concoctions reportedly made a massive $1 billion in sales in 2018.

Since 2008, however, Spears was unable to use much of her money due to the conservatorship of her father. Her father, Jamie Spears, and his lawyers were in control of her finances up until they lost the court battle over it recently.

Mark Zuckerberg | $90 Billion | Former Software Developer

Before Facebook CEO founder Mark Zuckerberg became the youngest self-made billionaire at age 23, he has been the go-to software developer at Harvard University. He built a reputation of being an expert in coding and developing inside the university. He was the man behind the infamous Facemash program, where Harvard students voted between two students, rating them on attractiveness. It was eventually shut down due to its inappropriate content.

Today, Zuckerberg holds a $90 billion net worth, and all credit goes to his social network brainchild which he refused to sell despite numerous offers. His massive wealth has made him the 4th richest person in the world. Of course, books and movies were made to tell the story of his rise, the plot details of which he’s on record as disputing. Nevertheless, Zuckerberg remains an icon of technology and will remain so for generations to come.

Kaley Cuoco | $100 Million | Former Tennis Player

Born with a realtor father, Kaley Cuoco didn’t have to think about unpaid credit cards and loans as she grew up. The Big Bang Theory actress was living in wealth even before she entered Hollywood.

Instead, Cuoco focused on her interest in sports. She was a tennis player in 1998 and was ranked 54th on the Girls 14 Singles in Southern California. However, Cuoco decided to park her sports career and focused on acting full-time. It’s a good thing her Hollywood career did not disappoint as she was able to amass over $100 million from her movies, television shows, and endorsement projects. Not only that, geeks all over the world have posters of her all over their bedroom walls because the character she played on The Big Bang Theory (she played Penny, the unassuming waitress who lived down the hall) was nothing short of iconic.

Elon Musk | $185 Billion | Former Lumberjack

It is hard to fathom that Elon Musk jumped from one job to another before earning his billionaire status today. The Tesla founder started working at age ten as a computer developer, but it was only in his teenage years that he began to accept odd jobs to earn more money. This may come off as a surprise, but the current tech mogul once became a lumberjack before entering college and earned a few dollars for cutting trees. Musk also cleaned warehouses and got rid of logs to gain extra cash.

Despite working odd jobs to graduate and pay off his student loans, the man’s hard work was replaced with massive wealth when he started putting up his companies, including Space X. Today, Musk is known internationally as the world’s no. 1 billionaire with a staggering $185 billion net worth.

Chris Evans | $80 Million | Politics Platform

Sure, you know Chris Evans as Captain America in a number of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films, but there is more to this good-looking actor than just being a globally-adored superhero. The 39-year-old star can be considered a hero of America in real life, too, credits to his initiative to help his fellow citizens. How, you might ask?

Evans started a new politics website, where everyone’s questions could be answered. One could assume that Wikipedia might be too mainstream for the Avengers star—but the truth is, he finds the entries too long. The website in question, called A Starting Point, would have tidy sections about immigration, health care, education, economy, and more to explain what the visitors wanted to know. Evans wants to invite and film politicians himself to talk about a particular issue to make it more understandable for the public. With this initiative, the people would get to know everything they like instantly with a simple explanation.

Chris Hemsworth | $130 Million | Fitness App

As the actor behind Thor and an over-all macho man, Chris Hemsworth crafts a profitable business that is perfect for him. Using some of the investment money from his $130 million net worth, the 37-year-old star launched a fitness app called Centr. This app features the three elements of healthy living—“movement, nutrition, and mindfulness.” It also focuses on how its user can “train, eat, and live better.”

In an interview, Hemsworth revealed the origin of this app was everything that he learned along his acting journey, like meeting different people who were experts in the basics of being fit. Explaining why it was called Centr, it was because he had to do a great job and find the center of it. The app promotes a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise needed for weight loss and maintaining or building toned muscles. This might be Hemsworth’s secret to his Asgardian body.

Robert Downey Jr. | $300 Million | Production Company

Robert Downey Jr. may be famous for playing the iconic role of Iron Man, but he is a serious business owner behind the camera. The 55-year-old actor has done the best investment planning with his wife, Susan Downey, and built a production company called Team Downey. The couple literally works as a team. They have successfully made this business a big one, producing several films, TV series, and even documentaries. It is the production company behind Dolittle, The Judge, Perry Mason, and The Age of A.I., among others.

In building Team Downey, Susan revealed their motivation was to find things they both loved and be creative together. Alternatively, Robert wanted to establish a production company that would be the opposite of “Old Hollywood.” This business is probably the reason why Robert’s net worth has skyrocketed to $300 million.

Scarlett Johansson | $165 Million | Popcorn Shop

It looks aside from being the Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson wants to be the queen of pop—popcorn, that is. The 36-year-old star made an investment in a snack bar in Paris called Yummy Pop. Aside from acting, the Avengers star is also said to be “passionate about popcorn,” and so she decided to take the City of Light by storm.

The shop sells freshly-popped popcorns in seven gourmet flavors: cheddar, truffle parmesan, olive oil, and salt n’ pepper, Canadian maple, chocolate strawberry, and strawberry cream. The place carries a red-white-and-blue, barber-shop theme with different slogans on the wall, like “pop till you drop” and “pop here, pop there, pop everywhere.” According to reports, the maple syrup is Johansson’s secret sauce herself. The actress may have used her star power, making everything sold out on its opening day. With Johansson’s acting projects here and there and this business, no one will be surprised by her $165 million fortune.

KANYE WEST | $3.2 Billion | Fashion Company

Kanye West doesn’t just reach the billionaire mark; he also surpasses it. The 43-year-old star is now worth $3.2 billion, and it will surely continuously grow as the business expands. His sneaker brand, Yeezy, is reportedly worth $3 billion as of 2020, and he has been making a deal left and right.

As the brand’s sole owner, West is reportedly eyeing to bring its name into other realms, like architecture, hospitality, and urban design. He credits his business as the “next frontier of living for humanity,” and he is just on level two of his plans. As Yeezy is now becoming an empire, it is its sneakers that started it all. West’s move to release a heavily-hyped and limited-edition pair always works. Many of his fans and shoppers want to get their hands on his designs, so it is typically sold out in minutes, making its price higher and higher every release.

PAUL NEWMAN | $80 MILLION | COMPANY OWNER

Paul Newman didn’t only make a name in the entertainment world but the business universe as well. He was an entrepreneur who put a huge amount of his investment money and founded the line of food products called Newman’s Own. However, the actor didn’t do it alone. He got the help of the famed writer A.E. Hotchner in establishing this business in 1982.
He also didn’t do this to earn a good profit. Instead, he made a policy where all proceeds—after the taxes—would go to charity, the Newman’s Own Foundation. Since its inception, the company had donated more than $550 million to different educational and charitable organizations. Besides this, Paul proved he’s a real philanthropist, donating a whopping $250,000 to Catholic Relief Services to help Kosovo’s refugees. This was just one of his heroic acts of kindness, and there were many others that both recorded and not recorded.
