Washington has commanded at least $10 million per movie for the last three decades and at least $20 million for the last two. His earliest recorded salary was $7.5 million for 1995’s Virtuosity, and since then, it’s been nothing but 8-figure paydays.

In the late 1990s, Washington earned $12 million apiece for The Siege and Fallen and $10 million for The Hurricane. By the mid-2000s, he was earning $20 million per film, including for films such as Out of Time and Man on Fire. In 2006, Forbes listed Denzel among the highest-paid actors, earning an estimated $38 million, primarily from Deja Vu and Inside Man. While we don’t have the specific breakdown, we can assume this was a relatively even split. Forbes also listed him as the highest-paid actor in 2023, earning $24 million.

American Gangster Earnings

One of the more interesting salaries of Washington’s career was technically two paydays, but from one movie. In 2004, he landed the lead role in American Gangster, for which he received an upfront salary, likely in the $20 million range. Before filming began, the project was scrapped, with Washington keeping the money due to signing a pay-or-play contract. He was paid again when it was resumed two years later, earning an estimated $40 million.

The Equalizer Trilogy Salaries

The Equalizer trilogy has produced some of Washington’s highest-grossing movies, and he was reportedly paid a $20 million salary per installment, totaling $60 million between 2014 and 2023.

The Little Things Compensation

According to a 2021 Variety article, Washington earned $40 million from The Little Things. He was initially set to receive an upfront salary for the film plus an additional percentage of the backend profits. However, Warner Bros. decided to debut all their movies during the pandemic on HBO Max and in theaters simultaneously, knowing that box office numbers would be significantly lower than usual. Denzel was reportedly paid $40 million to compensate for the low backend.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Washington typically performs in R-rated movies, so while $270 million at the box office for 2007’s American Gangster might seem low, it’s pretty impressive. Denzel was most active in the 90s and 2000s, with most of his top ten box office hits produced in that period.

This includes 1993’s Philadelphia and The Pelican Brief, grossing $207 million and $195 million, respectively. Another good year for Washington was in 2006, with Inside Man and Deja Vu grossing $186 million and $181 million at the global box office.

His most successful franchise was The Equalizer trilogy, which has consistently performed well. All three movies are in his top ten highest-grossing. They earned nearly identical amounts at the box office and remain his fifth, sixth, and seventh highest-grossing films of all time.

Here’s a complete list of Denzel Washington’s ten highest-grossing movies:

American Gangster – $270 million (2007)
Safe House – $208 million (2012)
Philadelphia – $207 million (1993)
The Pelican Brief – $195 million (1993)
The Equalizer – $192 million (2014)
The Equalizer 3 – $191 million (2023)
The Equalizer 2 – $190 million (2018)
Inside Man – $186 million (2006)
Deja Vu – $181 million (2006)
Unstoppable – $168 million (2010)

Introduction

Jessica Alba is an American professional actress and businesswoman with an estimated net worth of $100 Million.

Net Worth History

Since founding The Honest Company in 2011, Jessica Alba’s net worth has been heavily dependent on the company’s valuation. We’ll discuss the details of the business shortly. At its peak in late 2015, Honest was valued at $1.7 billion, with Alba holding a 20% stake worth roughly $340 million. When the company launched its IPO in 2021, Alba’s stake had declined to roughly 6.2%, worth $130 million. In recent years, Honest’s stock price has crashed, and the company is currently valued at just $273 million. Alba’s stake? Assuming she still owns 6.2% of the business, her stake would be worth just $13.7 million today.

As a result, estimates of Alba’s net worth have fluctuated heavily over the past years. We previously listed a figure of $200 million, but have since updated our estimates to reflect the decline in the company’s valuation. At the time of writing, Jessica Alba is worth an estimated $100 Million.

Before Wealth & Fame

Although Jessica Alba was born in California, she moved frequently throughout her childhood, including brief periods in Mississippi and Texas, because of her father’s service in the US Air Force. At a young age, Alba suffered from several different health issues, which led to her spending a lot of time in the hospital. Because of this, she became very shy and introverted, often feeling socially disconnected from other children.

When Jessica was 11 years old, her mother discovered an advertisement for an acting competition. She later entered for fun but won free acting classes as a result. The class instructor introduced her to an agent, which helped her begin her journey to a professional acting career.

Acting Career

In the early 1990s, Jessica Alba landed roles in numerous television shows, including The Secret World of Alex Mack, Chicago Hope, and ABC Afterschool Specials. However, her breakout role during this time was when she was cast as Maya Graham in the 1995 reboot of the Flipper TV series. Alba was just fourteen years old at the time, and from 1995 to 1997, she starred in 44 episodes.

The remainder of the 1990s saw Jessica begin landing lead roles in films such as P.U.N.K.S., Never Been Kissed, and Idle Hands. In 2000, Alba was cast as the lead character, Max Guevera, in the FOX drama Dark Angel. This was her first significant lead role in a television show, in which she starred in all 42 episodes.

However, after Dark Angel was canceled due to a drop in viewership, Alba took a long break from television to focus on landing higher-budget movie roles. The 2000s were the most successful decade of her career at the box office, with roles in films such as Fantastic Four (2005) and its sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), alongside Chris Evans, Ioan Gruffudd, and Julian McMahon. Later, she would also appear alongside Jason Statham in Mechanic: Resurrection (2016).

Throughout her three-decade-long acting career, Jessica Alba has starred in over seventy-five different films and television shows, grossing over $1.8 billion at the global box office.

The Honest Company

In 2011, Jessica Alba co-founded The Honest Company, a business aimed at creating “safe, effective products” in the baby and beauty markets. The company sells a wide range of products designed for sensitive skin, including diapers, wipes, body wash, shampoo, lotions, cleansers, moisturizers, and makeup.

For many years, Alba’s net worth has been closely tied to The Honest Company’s valuation. The business sold $10 million worth of products in year one, and by 2015, they were generating over $150 million in revenue. During this initial growth period, they also raised several rounds of funding, including $6 million in seed funding shortly after launch. In 2014, Honest raised $70 million in financing, which valued the company at approximately $1 billion.

At some point in 2015, experts claimed that Alba owned as much as 20% of The Honest Company, which, given the above valuation, would have been worth $200 million. Jessica’s stake would inevitably be diluted over the next few rounds of fundraising, which included $75 million in 2017 and an additional $200 million in private equity in 2018.

IPO & Decline

Honest’s valuation peaked at an estimated $1.7 billion in late 2015, meaning that Alba’s stake reached a peak-value of roughly $340 million. When the company launched its IPO in May 2021, Alba held 5.65 million shares valued at $23 per share at closing. This equated to roughly 6.2% of the company, worth $130 million.

Unfortunately, in the first few years after going public, Honest began to struggle. By June 2022, the share price had crashed down to just $2.92/share. Despite a brief recovery to $8.4/share in 2024, it was only temporary. At the time of writing, The Honest Company has a share price of $2.44 with a market valuation of just $273 million. Assuming that she still owns all 5.65 million shares, her stake in the company would now be worth just $13.8 million.

Real Estate

Beverly Hills Home

In 2008, Alba purchased a five-bedroom, 5,277-square-foot estate in Beverly Hills for $4.05 million. She lived there for nearly a decade, eventually relisting the property in 2019 for $6.195 million. A deal was finalized for the asking price in April 2019.

Beverly Hills Mansion

In January 2017, Alba and her then-husband, Cash Warren, paid $9.95 million for an 8,829-square-foot house in the same area. The home had been on and off the market since 2015. It was initially listed for $15 million and eventually reduced to $11 million before the couple bagged a sweet discount. The home’s property taxes are estimated to be $128,000 annually, and its current valuation is roughly $12 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Here’s a complete list of Jessica Alba’s ten highest-grossing movies:

Fantastic Four – $334 million (2005)
Little Fockers – $311 million (2010)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – $302 million (2007)
Valentine’s Day – $217 million (2010)
Sin City – $159 million (2005)
Mechanic: Resurrection – $126 million (2016)
Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World – $86 million (2011)
Never Been Kissed – $85 million (1999)
Escape from Planet Earth – $75 million (2012)
Honey – $62 million (2003)

At the beginning of the 1990s, DiCaprio earned just $75,000 per movie. At the end of the 1990s, he was paid $20 million for his leading role in The Beach. Since 1999, he’s been paid at least $20 million for nearly every movie he’s starred in.

2023	Killers of the Flower Moon	$40,000,000
Total Calculated Earnings:		$327,725,000

Leonardo DiCaprio’s earliest recorded salary was $75,000 in 1992 for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Two years later, his salary doubled to $150,000 for The Quick and the Dead, and that same year, he earned his first 7-figure payday for The Basketball Diaries.

Titanic Salary

DiCaprio was only initially paid a $2.5 million upfront salary for his leading role in Titanic, but it was his biggest payday yet. While that figure may seem low, DiCaprio eventually earned an estimated $40 million, thanks to his 1.8% share of the gross backend, considering how much money the film earned.

Titanic grossed $674.3 million in the US and Canada and almost $2.3 billion worldwide against a budget of $200 million. It remains the fourth highest-grossing film globally and the only film produced in the 20th century to gross over $2 billion. The next highest 20th-century film on the list, Jurassic Park (1993), grossed just $1.1 billion. After his $2.5 million salary, DiCaprio’s 1.8% backend should have been worth roughly an additional $37 million.

Inception Earnings

After Titanic’s success, Leo immediately commanded a minimum of $20 million per movie. His $20 million salaries include Catch Me If You Can (2001), The Aviator (2003), Blood Diamond (2005), The Departed (2005), The Great Gatsby (2012), and The Revenant (2015).

However, one salary report that stands out is his 2009 earnings for Inception. In a similar situation to Titanic, DiCaprio opted for a share of the backend earnings, which resulted in total compensation of approximately $59 million.

Recent Acting Salaries

According to Puck News, DiCaprio’s most recent film, Killers of the Flower Moon, earned him $40 million in 2023. Considering that’s one-fifth of the movie’s $200 million budget, and it was a total flop at the box office, he earned an impressive sum. Before that, he earned $30 million in 2021 for Don’t Look Up.

Highest-Grossing Movies

These are Leonardo DiCaprio’s highest-grossing movies:

Titanic – $2.26 billion (1997)
Inception – $839 million (2010)
The Revenant – $533 million (2015)
Django Unchained – $426 million (2012)
The Wolf of Wall Street – $407 million (2013)
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood – $378 million (2019)
The Great Gatsby – $354 million (2013)
