Here's How Jennifer Garner Earned Her Staggering $80 Million Net Worth
Best known for projects like Alias and 13 Going on 30, Jennifer Garner has been a Hollywood staple for decades. She's also been a fan favorite, even amid the drama that was her split from Ben Affleck. Throughout both her marriages and long afterward, Jennifer has earned her own money.
Why is Jennifer Garner so rich? It turns out she's worked hard and diversified her income over the years.
Jennifer Garner Is Worth $80 Million
Most of Jennifer Garner's wealth does stem from her career in Hollywood. Acting in TV series and films has earned her not only critical acclaim but also many millions.
Garner reportedly took home between $45,000 and $150,000 per episode for Alias, nabbing a higher income per season throughout the show's five seasons. The star's notable roles in many films, including some with her famous ex-husband, pulled in a few million apiece, minimum, but Garner didn't stop at acting.
She went on to strike deals with Mercedes-Benz (reportedly securing $10 to $15 million for a multi-year contract) after, apparently, purchasing one of her own. There is also the matter of those Capital One commercials, which might pay a similar rate to the car contract, given Garner's average going rate.
In addition to those big-name brands, Garner has also struck lucrative deals with other companies as a spokesperson.
How Much Does Neutrogena Pay Jennifer Garner?
One of Jennifer Garner's well-known gigs is her role as a spokesperson for Neutrogena. No specific figures have been released regarding her earnings with the company, but Jennifer reportedly has a longstanding contract with the brand that could last 15 years.
Given that Garner earned a minimum of $3 million for film projects (like 13 Going on 30) in the past, it wouldn't be surprising if she fetched a few million per year for contracting with big-name brands.
What's more, many of these contracts are paid upon signing, meaning Jennifer could get multiple millions of dollars up-front, before even doing any work for a brand. Jennifer does, of course, have her own ventures going outside of contracts with brands, too.
Jennifer Garner's Business Earned Over $100 Million In 2022
Beyond Hollywood, Jennifer Garner isn't afraid of putting in the work to build her net worth. Part of the $80 million she's pulled in so far likely stems from her involvement with Once Upon a Farm; she's co-founder and Chief Brand Officer at the organic food company.
It did so well in 2022 that Jennifer gushed about how the company scaled from $1M to $100M in less than a year. She and her co-founder are both closely involved in the day-to-day operation of the company, she noted, something that she seemed to enjoy.
No word on how much that gig earns, however; Salary.com states an upper salary of over $450K for the Chief Information Officer (the highest-paid gig that's reported), so it's possible Jennifer earns far more than that as the Chief Brand Officer.
While Jennifer juggles her day job and her acting career (she did take something of a hiatus from TV and film at one point), there's also the question of how much money she may have walked away with after her marriage to Ben Affleck dissolved.
It turns out there might have been some wealth shared among the former couple, simply because no prenuptial agreement existed.
Did Ben Affleck And Jennifer Garner Have A Prenup?
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's divorce settlement was watched closely as the pair kept quiet about their marital troubles. They were careful not to badmouth one another, though Ben has spoken out about the end of their marriage and his regrets. Jennifer also used a specific strategy to keep her kids from reading tabloid headlines about their dad.
It doesn't seem that the two quarreled much about the settlement, though, which was kept private despite the buzz surrounding their split. No one really knows how much money Jennifer Garner might have received from Ben Affleck, but it's been suggested that the two did not have a prenuptial agreement.
That would mean their reported $190 million in shared assets would have been divided more or less in half. Any spousal support would be calculated based on both spouses' earnings, and at the time the divorce was being finalized (circa 2018), Ben was raking in nearly $50M per year.
It's also been surmised that Ben Affleck's net worth grew thanks to the publicity surrounding his rekindled relationship with Jennifer Lopez, specifically because of the spotlight being on the pair of them.
Either way, before the settlement was made, Jennifer was said to be worth about $60 million and Ben about $130 million. Today, Jennifer is estimated to be worth $80M while Ben is worth $150M. Given that Ben Affleck has continued earning many millions since the split, it could be assumed that the pair split that prior $190M figure somewhat evenly.
Since then, Jennifer has been doing very well for herself, even building a custom mansion where she lives with her and Ben's three kids.
