Here's How Much Jennifer Aniston Is Really Worth
Jennifer Aniston has been America's Sweetheart since she charmed our butts off as Rachel in "Friends." But did you know that she had to take matters into her own hands to get that role? In 1994, Aniston was frustrated by the four failed TV shows she'd been on and wondered if her career was ever going to take off. She pulled into a Los Angeles gas station and noticed the head of NBC entertainment at the pump across from her, per Vulture. She asked him one vital question: "Is it ever going to happen?" He assured her it would and, a few months later, he was integral in getting her cast on "Friends." The rest, as the saying goes, is history.
In the 15 years since "Friends" ended its season run, Aniston has appeared in a slew of films including "Bruce Almighty," "Horrible Bosses," "The Breakup," and "Marley and Me." These days, she's getting critical acclaim for her role as Alex Levy on Apple TV's "The Morning Show," and she's also making even more than she did during her last season on "Friends."
Despite all her success, Aniston does her best to stay grounded. "There's times when you see people climbing and getting success and you start to see, oh, they're starting to really change," she told the Associated Press in 2014. "So I always just make the effort to be as humble and grateful as possible."
She certainly has a lot to be grateful for. Keep reading to find out how much her overall net worth is.

Jennifer Aniston is just getting started
Jennifer Aniston has had an incredibly successful career that has allowed her to bring home the big bucks! Since the very beginning, the "Friends" actor has believed in herself even when people doubted her.

She told the outlet, "If there were any naysayers in my family, 'This will never... you'll never make a dime.' Just watch me. Don't threaten me that way. God knows now I'm going to make a couple of dimes." Aniston definitely made more than just a couple of dimes!
While many may say that "Friends" will be her biggest success, the actor assures that she's just getting started. In 2019, she told the New York Times, "I'm entering into what I feel is one of the most creatively fulfilling periods of my life. I've been doing this for 30 years and I feel like it's just about to really bloom." If there is one thing we know about Aniston, it's to never doubt her. She built an outstanding career that has brought her a lot of fortune, and it's only going to continue to grow as she takes on more projects.
