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.

Introduction 

Kevin Costner is an American professional actor, film director, and entrepreneur with an estimated net worth of $250 Million.

Costner built most of his wealth through his film career, spanning almost five decades. In the early 1990s, he was the world’s highest-paid actor for three consecutive years, earning between $48 million and $71 million per year.

His net worth has taken hits in the past, notably from his 1994 divorce settlement with Cindy Silva, which occurred the same year his three-year reign as the highest-earning actor ended. The divorce cost him an estimated $80 million, just under half of his total earnings from 1991 to 1993. 

More recently, Costner has been earning over $1 million per episode for starring in Yellowstone, which is in its fifth season. He also made headlines in May 2024 for investing $38 million of his own money in Horizon: An American Saga, 

Quick Facts

• Earned an estimated $50 million from Dances with Wolves
• Salary of $1.3 million per episode to star in Yellowstone
• Invested $38 million into Horizon: An American Saga
• Divorce settlement cost him roughly $80 million
• World’s highest-paid actor for three consecutive years (1991, 1992, 1993)
• Earned a combined $178 million during that time

Film Salaries

While not all of Kevin Costner’s salaries are known to the public, we do have information for roughly half a dozen of his films, many of which occurred within the period that he was the world’s highest-paid actor.

His earliest recorded salary was a $1.5 million paycheck for starring in Bull Durham (1988). Two years later, Kevin secured what is considered to be the single largest payday of his career, through Dances with Wolves. While he was only guaranteed $3 million in upfront salary, he also negotiated a percentage of the backend.

In 1991, Costner earned an estimated $7 million from JFK, and the following year, he signed another lucrative deal that included backend points. This was for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which reportedly earned him a total of $40 million once everything was said and done. 

Finally, between 1995 and 2002, it appears that Costner typically commanded $15 million, five or take, per film role. This includes his $14 million paycheck from Waterworld (1995), and two $15 million paydays for Thirteen Days (2002) and Dragonfly (2002). If we add up all these salaries, the total is $142.5 million. However, we know that this is just a drop in the bucket, covering just 10% of his lifetime roles.

Yellowstone Salary

Costner reportedly earned $500,000 per episode in the first season of Yellowstone, totaling $4.5 million for the season. Ahead of the fifth season, he signed a new deal that would pay him $1.3 million per episode, increasing to $1.5 million if a sixth season were to occur. This would equate to $10.4 million in salary for the fifth season.

Cindy Silva Divorce Settlement

In 1978, Costner married his first wife, Cindy Silva, and they remained together for 16 years, during which they had three children. Early on in their marriage, Silva worked various jobs to support Costner until his acting career took off. As his fame grew, rumours started about Costner’s infidelity, especially during the filming of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. After moving to England in 1991 to film the movie, it was alleged that Costner had a brief affair with Sheri Stewart, a hostess at an unnamed London nightclub. By 1994, Costner and his wife announced that they would be separating.

At the time of their divorce, there was no prenuptial agreement in place, and therefore, Silva reportedly received around $80 million from Costner. Neither of them commented publicly on the divorce, instead focusing on co-parenting their children and maintaining a respectful relationship with each other.

Christine Baumgartner Divorce Settlement

Two years after his divorce from Silva, Costner met Christine Baumgartner in 1996 while filming Tin Cup. The couple eventually began dating publicly in 1999. On September 25, 2004, the couple married in Aspen, Colorado, and remained together for 18 years, during which they raised three children. Baumgartner left her job as a handbag designer and model to stay home with their children, while Costner continued to work in film and TV.

However, despite their image as a happy couple, Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023, and the details quickly became public as the couple began fighting over finances and child custody. According to their prenuptial agreement, Baumgartner was required to vacate the family home within 30 days of filing for divorce. However, she refused, arguing that she needed to sort out her finances before she could move out.

Eventually, Costner asked the court to intervene, and the judge ordered her to vacate the property by the end of July 2023, with Costner reportedly paying her $1.2 million for housing and $200,000 for relocation costs, as per their agreement.​ After giving up her job to stay home with the children, Baumgartner had no income, and so she requested that Costner pay $248,000 per month in child support. The judge refused this amount, though eventually ordered Costner to pay around $63,000 per month instead. He was also responsible for paying for the children’s private school tuition, healthcare, and extracurricular activities.​

The couple’s divorce was finalized in February 2024, after Costner reportedly agreed to pay at least $300,000 toward Baumgartner’s legal fees, although she had initially requested $885,000. However, the final settlement figure was kept private, as was information about Costner’s wealth and business assets.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Although Costner’s more recent work has been through the television series Yellowstone, some of his older movies smashed it at the box office. Six of his ten highest-grossing films are from the 1990s, including Dances with Wolves ($424 million), The Bodyguard ($411 million), and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves ($390 million). In fact, the first two of those movies mentioned produced some of the highest ROIs available in the industry. Dances with Wolves grossed $424 million on just a $22 million budget, and The Bodyguard grossed $411 million against a $25 million budget.

This is one of the reasons why Costner was the world’s highest-paid actor for three consecutive years, from 1991 to 1993. However, his appearance as Jonathan Kent in the DC franchise was responsible for producing two of his highest-grossing films: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($874 million) and Man of Steel ($670 million).

Some notable mentions that didn’t reach the list include The Guardian ($95 million), Field of Dreams ($84 million), and The Untouchables ($76 million).

Here’s a complete list of Kevin Costner’s ten highest-grossing films:

1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – $874 Million (2016)
2. Man of Steel – $670 Million (2013)
3. Dances with Wolves – $424 Million (1990)
4. The Bodyguard – $411 Million (1992)
5. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves – $390 Million (1991)
6. Waterworld – $264 Million (1995)
7. Hidden Figures – $236 Million (2016)
8. JFK – $205 Million (1991)
9. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit – $136 Million (2014)
10. A Perfect World – $135 Million (1993)

Real Estate

In April 2006, Kevin acquired a 17.25-acre plot of land in Santa Barbara County, California, after “jogging by it” one day and seeing a for sale sign. The purchase cost him a whopping $28.5 million. One side of the property already featured a decently sized house; however, Costner had plans to demolish it and rebuild. The other side of the plot was a polo field, which Kevin transformed into a baseball field. 

A year later, he split the land, reportedly selling 7 acres, including the house, for an undisclosed sum. That said, he kept hold of his baseball field. In 2017, Costner tried his luck at selling his remaining 10.25 acres for $60 million. He later reduced the price to $55 million, and then $49 million, before taking it off the market.
