Jessica Alba Net Worth

American actress and entrepreneur Jessica Alba’s net worth is said to exceed $100 million. Jessica Alba is most recognized for her roles in the movies “Fantastic Four” and “Good Luck Chuck” as an actress. She gained notoriety as an entrepreneur when she co-founded The Honest Company, a manufacturer of baby and household goods.

The Honest Company

In May 2021, the day The Honest Company went public, Jessica held 5.56 million shares of the business (including options). Her ownership share was valued at $130 million pre-taxes at the stock’s public debut value of $23. Her investment was worth about $25 million when the company’s stock dropped to about $5 in March 2022. Jessica Alba’s net worth has fluctuated with her career ups and downs.

Jessica Alba received close to $8 million in compensation in 2021, the majority of which consisted of a $6 million equity grant, according to the Honest Company’s proxy. Additionally, Alba accepted a $563,077 salary and was awarded a $1.4 million bonus. Jessica Alba’s ownership position in the company, which has a market value of roughly $130 million in the IPO, decreased to a little over $27 million because of The Honest Company’s stock price volatility (it closed Thursday at $4,52 per share, down from $23 per share the day it went public). This volatility has affected Jessica Alba’s net worth considerably.

Jessica Marie Alba

On April 28, 1981, Jessica Marie Alba was born in Pomona, California. She is of Mexican descent through her father and Danish, Welsh, German, English, and French ancestry through her mother. Jessica has a younger brother named Joshua. She was raised in Del Rio, Texas, and Biloxi, Mississippi, before the family moved to Claremont, California when she was nine years old. This was owing to her father’s profession in the US Air Force, which required the family to relocate frequently.

Jessica Alba’s School Years 

At sixteen years old, Jessica Marie Alba received her diploma from Claremont High School and enrolled at the Atlantic Theater Company. She used her acting ability to persuade her mother to enrol her in an acting competition in 1992. She was eleven at the time and had been pestering her parents to take interest in acting seriously as early as age five.

Nine months after winning the grand prize – free acting lessons – an agent signed Jessica Alba.

With a small part in the 1994 film “Camp Nowhere” and a brief recurring part in the Nickelodeon program “The Secret World of Alex Mack,” Jessica Alba made her acting debut at the age of thirteen. She also made two-child appearances in national J.C. Penney and Nintendo television advertisements. Jessica Alba first came to public attention at the age of nineteen while playing the lead character in the television series “Dark Angel” from 2000 to 2002.

Jessica’s Awards

Jessica Alba won the Saturn Award for Best Actress, the Teen Choice Award for Choice Actress, and a Golden Globe for her portrayal of the genetically modified super-soldier. With the release of “Honey” in 2003, she made her feature film debut, and Jessica Alba soon rose to the top of the Hollywood A-List as a leading actress. In addition to “Fantastic Four” and its follow-up “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” (2007), she has starred in “Good Luck Chuck,” “The Eye,” “Valentine’s Day,” “Little Fockers,” and “Mechanic: Resurrection” (2016).

Additionally, Robert Rodriguez and Alba have a history of collaboration. He directed many movies with her as the lead, including “Sin City” (2005), “Machete” (2010), “Spy Kids: All the Time in the World” (2011), “Machete Kills” (2013), and “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” (2014).

Since May 2019, “L.A.’s Finest,” an action-crime television series on Spectrum, has featured Jessica Alba working alongside Gabrielle Union as an LAPD detective.

Jessica Alba met and started dating her “Dark Angel” co-star Michael Weatherly while they were filming. On the day of her 20^th birthday, Weatherly popped the question, and she said yes. However, the pair made their breakup public in August 2003.

Jessica Alba met Cash Warren, a movie producer, the son of actor Michael Warren while filming “Fantastic Four.” Alba gave birth to their daughter Honor Marie Warren the same year that they got married, in May 2008, and they were wedded.

According to reports, “OK!” magazine coughed up $1.5 million for the first photographs of the newborn. The couple’s second daughter, Haven Warren, burst onto the scene in 2011, and their son arrived in December 2017.

The Honest Company

Along with her business partner Christopher Gavigan, Alba co-founded The Honest Company in addition to acting. The Honest Company creates personal care, cleaning, and other household products that are all environmentally friendly. Approximately 275 employees work for the company, which generates yearly earnings of over $150 million.

The company raised an additional $72 million in August 2014, bringing its total funding to $1 billion (plus the $52 million it had already raised).

Jessica Alba’s company had a $1.7 billion market value in August 2015. Alba held about 20% of the business at that time. That meant that, at the time, the value of her stake, net of taxes, was almost $200 million. At a $1 billion valuation in October 2017, or 57% less than its previous worth, the company secured $75 million in a Series E investment.

Jessica Alba held 5.6 million shares, or around 6.2% of The Honest Company, at the time of the company’s eventual IPO in May 2021. Her investment had a paper value of $130 million at the company’s IPO price of $23.

The Honest Company’s share price has fallen to about $5 after less than a year. Jessica Alba has a shareholding with an estimated value of $25 million at that point.

Jessica Alba’s net worth is tightly linked to the stock she holds in her various companies, and these are not at all stable, leading to wide differences in her estimated value.
