Reese Witherspoon – $200 Million – Media Company
Reese Witherspoon may have started her Hollywood career as a sweetheart, but she has grown to become one of the most empowered figures today. Following her role as lawyer Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, she rose into superstardom and landed more important roles in the film industry. The sequel to Legally Blonde grossed $90 million and paid the actress a sum of $15 million, making her one of the highest-paid actresses.
Apart from her work as an actress, Reese joined the business arena and launched the media company called Hello Sunshine. She co-founded this company with Seth Rodsky in 2016 with the goal of focusing on telling female-oriented stories via television, film, and digital channels. Hello Sunshine began the talk show Shine On with Reese, a podcast titled My Best Break-Up, and many more. It’s not surprising that she now has a net worth of $200 million.
