Actress, mom of two, wife and entrepreneur, these are just a few of the words that one can use to describe Jessica Biel. The stunning 41-year-old rose to stardom in the late '90s when she landed one of the main roles on the family drama 7th Heaven. These days, she has left many people wondering; what happened to Biel's acting career? Despite having cemented her place in Hollywood, Jessica's acting career is hardly what it was back in the '00s.
One thing is for sure though, Jessica may not be getting many acting roles, but she's certainly not hurting for cash. The star has a reported $250 million net worth. This is a combined net worth with her husband, Justin Timberlake, who is responsible for the majority of Jessica's wealth. However, thanks to the various blockbusters she starred in at the peak of her career and the product endorsements and partnerships over the years, a good chunk comes from Jessica as well.
RelatedUpdated January 2024: Jessica Biel has not been in the press recently regarding her career. Instead, it has been regarding her relationship with her husband, Justin Timberlake since Britney Spears' memoir release. While neither she nor Timberlake has addressed any relationship issues, were she and Timberlake to separate, it is unclear just how much of the fortune that Timberlake has amassed would be given to Biel, whose career has slowed over the years. However, with a project in pre-production, perhaps Biel is ready for a career comeback now that her children are a bit older.
Jessica shot to stardom after starring in the WB family drama, 7th Heaven, and became a household name in the late '90s. The star hit her peak as an actress in the mid-'00s, which undoubtedly translated to an increase in her net worth. The actress/producer is valued at $20 million to $50 million, which is pretty impressive.
During the '00s, Jessica appeared in movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Illusionist, and Blade: Trinity. The movies performed well at the box office, thus it's safe to assume that they helped the star amass her fortune. Jessica reportedly gets around $2 to $5 million per movie.
Other notable projects that Jessica has appeared in, according to IMDb include:
Candy (TV Mini Series) | 2022 | Candy Montgomery (lead role) |
Pete the Cat (TV Series) | 2018-2022 | Bethany Burrow (voice) |
Limetown (TV Series) | 2019 | Lia Haddock (lead role) |
The Sinner (TV Series) | 2017 | Cora Tannetti (lead role) |
Playing for Keeps (Movie) | 2012 | Stacie (lead role) |
Total Recall (Movie) | 2012 | Melina (lead role) |
The A-Team (Movie) | 2010 | Charissa Sosa (lead role) |
Valentine's Day (Movie) | 2010 | Kara Monahan (lead role) |
The actress has done exceptionally well for herself, with an estimated $20 million to $50 million net worth. The rest of her net worth is thanks to her husband, Justin Timberlake.
Like his wife, Justin is a Hollywood A-lister, who started out in the famous boy band NSYNC and later pivoted to acting. He has had a successful acting career and has landed roles that paid well.
2:11 RelatedMost celebrities opt to have prenuptial agreements in place, to protect their interests in case things go south. It makes sense considering there's lots of money and assets involved. Jessica and Justin reportedly have an infidelity clause in their prenup, where he would be required to fork out $500,000 in the event that he cheated.
Per the New York Daily News, "Jessica Biel reportedly has an agreement with Justin Timberlake that would net her $500,000 if he cheats."
RelatedAlthough the star has made her money primarily through acting, Jessica's also had endorsements and partnerships with famous brands. The mom of two is undoubtedly one of the most attractive women in Hollywood, with her flawless skin, youthful glow, and insanely toned figure. Who better to advertise beauty products and clothing than her?
In 2010, she joined other industry beauties like Halle Berry and Jessica Alba as the face of Revlon. It is reported that it was a multi-million dollar deal that lined the star's pockets immensely. Heck! She was even once the face of L'Oréal. Like most Hollywood stars, Jessica has multiple income streams.
Jessica also has some impressive real estate, according to Variety, the actress and her superstar husband, reportedly have a 5,375 square foot Tribeca penthouse valued at $20 million. The famous pair also have a 127-acre property in Nashville which set them back by a cool $4 million.
While she may have found success with her other ventures, Jessica's attempt at being a restaurateur didn't go as planned. The mom of two opened her eatery in 2016 but closed it after only two years of running it. Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, she revealed that the restaurant wasn't making money.
"We’re definitely not making money," Jessica explained. "Nobody’s making money in the restaurant business, in my experience, at least not yet."
The situation escalated when the star's ex-employees accused her and her partners of stealing $430,100 in tips.
In 2018, Radar Online reported, "Au Fudge employees accused Biel, 36, and her business partners of stealing $430,100 in tips. The employees claimed they worked over 8 hours a day without meal or rest breaks. They also claimed they didn’t receive overtime compensation."
