JESSICA CHASTAIN – EST. $50 MILLION

There’s a reason Jessica Chastain is so difficult to pin down. Many people, including herself, think of her as an actor, but she’s done more for Hollywood than merely playing a few parts and getting a consistent income. She’s been a staunch advocate for women’s rights in a male-dominated business since she burst onto the scene in 2011.

She’s also produced more than 30 films in the previous ten years, an investment that only Meryl Streep can match. Chastain has a net worth of $50 million after a decade of nonstop brilliant performances on the big screen. Given that some of her busiest years have had five of her films released in a single year, it’s not surprising. Her excellent resume will undoubtedly grow as she continues to push herself as an actress by taking on the most challenging roles she can find.
