Michelle Kapusta — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:25:00 +0000

If you aren’t an NFL fan, you may not have known the names Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce until the latter began dating the biggest pop star in the world. Of course those who always watched football on Sundays knew exactly who the brothers were long before that as they are both tremendous athletes. But there’s no denying that Travis gained even more fame in every corner of the globe for his relationship with Taylor Swift.

In fact, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end‘s whole family got worldwide recognition they didn’t have before thanks to millions of Swifties. And that has translated to people paying even more attention to them off the field with other projects like their New Heights podcast for which the siblings inked a deal with Amazon’s Wondery worth more than $100 million over three years.

After the announcement was made the Kelce brothers released a statement via ESPN that said: “We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights. We love this show and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to New Heights! We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3 — see you soon, 92%ers!”

Now some are wondering about their fortunes and who’s actually worth more. Here’s the answer to that, plus how much Jason is getting for his new gig following his retirement from the NFL.

Jason Kelce’s net worth

On March 4, 2024, after an incredible 13-year career that included a Super Bowl win, Jason retired as the center for the Philadelphia Eagles. But fans knew they hadn’t seen the last of sports star on television and many predicted that networks would be fighting over who would land him.

That was the case as several reports claimed that ESPN, Fox, NBC, and CBS all tried to secure a deal to get him. Jason ended up choosing ESPN because that network gave him “full freedom” to continue working on his New Heights podcast with Travis.

Jason had this to say about joining the Walt Disney Company: “Turns out, it was a short retirement! I’m excited to join ESPN, and particularly the Monday Night Countdown team. ESPN was a consistent presence in our household growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love of all sports. To now appear on that same screen is a full-circle moment. And, I mean it’s freaking Monday Night Football! and I’m ready for some football.”

While the exact details of Jason’s contract for the pregame show haven’t been released it was reportedly for north of $1.8 million over three years with a sign-on bonus of $1 million. During his playing career with the Birds, he earned around $86 million in total salary. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jason currently has a net worth of $50 million.

But is that more than his younger brother’s net worth?

If you guessed that Travis has a higher net worth than Jason you are correct.

After being drafted by the Chiefs in 2013, Travis inked a four-year deal for just over $3 million. He went on to sign a five-year $46 million extension in 2016. In late April 2024, Travis signed a two-year $34.25 million extension. That contract works out to an average annual salary of $17.1 million and will bring Travis’ career earnings to around $100 million.

The athlete has also raked in around $5 million a year in endorsement deals with a multitude of companies including McDonald’s, Papa John’s, Nike, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Tide, Bud Light, and State Farm to name a few. In 2023, Travis became an equity investor in Casa Azul Tequila, a brand his famous girlfriend has been seen drinking.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the football star currently has a net worth of $90 million.

Elton John is one of those singers almost everyone has heard of. He’s been in the business for more than 50 years and has a whole catalog of tunes that can get stuck in your head with just a mention of “Rocket Man” or “Crocodile Rock.”

But John is now making headlines for something that doesn’t have anything to do with hit records or chart-topping singles. Here’s what the musician has just revealed about his health, plus a few other things you may not have known about the entertainer including how old he is and what his net worth is today.

John’s age and net worth

Sir Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, in Pinner, Middlesex, England, to parents Sheila Eileen and Stanley Dwight. John’s father, who served in the Royal Air Force, was a musician as well. He was a trumpet player in a semi-professional big band that played at military dances.

John began taking piano lessons when he was 7 years old, and at the age of 11 won a junior scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. He formed the band Bluesology in 1966 and that’s when he adopted his stage name.

John released his self-titled debut album in 1970 which spawned plenty of hits. He went on to release more than two dozen Top 10 singles, 38 gold records, 31 platinum and multi-platinum albums, and sold over 300 million records worldwide making him one of the biggest-selling music artists of all time. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. According to Celebrity Net Worth, John has an estimated net worth today of $650 million.

In 1993, John began dating David Furnish, a former advertising executive turned filmmaker from Toronto. The couple married in 2005 and have two sons, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John.

On Sept. 3, 2024, John took to Instagram to share news about his health and how he’s been spending the summer recovering.

“Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye,” the superstar wrote. “I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.

“I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks. I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.”

After John’s announcement, many of his fans as well as his celebrity pals, sent well wishes including Donatella Versace who posted: “Sending you so much love, Elton! Feel better soon. Love you.”

Who Has a Higher Net Worth: Jennifer Garner or Her on-Again, off-Again Boyfriend John Miller?

Michelle Kapusta — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 23:20:36 +0000

Jennifer Garner’s name has been in the news a lot lately amid her ex-husband Ben Affleck‘s divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Not only do Garner and Affleck co-parent their three children Violet, Finn, and Samuel, but the 13 Going on 30 star and the Air actor have also remained good friends after their marriage ended. And Garner has become the shoulder Affleck has been able to lean on during his marital woes with the “Jenny From the Block” artist.

On Aug. 20, Lopez officially filed for divorce from her husband of two years and listed their separation date as April 26, 2024. Following that news, it was reported that Garner and her partner, John Miller, were “taking a break” leading many to believe that Affleck’s drama with J.Lo was affecting Garner’s current relationship. But a source close to the couple says not so fast.

Here’s why the brakes are being pumped on that report, plus a few things you didn’t know about Miller including his impressive net worth and whether it’s higher than Garner’s.

Who has the higher net worth Garner or Miller?

Miller was born in 1978 in Los Angeles and graduated from Stanford Law School.

His first high-profile job was as the Vice President of Intellectual Property at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. He has become a successful businessman and today serves as the CEO of CaliGroup, which owns the CaliBurger chain of restaurants. CaliGroup has investments in technology companies involved in robotic automation and AI for restaurants and facial recognition for payment. Miller is also a published author and has a net worth of $20 million, according to The Things.

While Miller’s net worth is impressive, it isn’t near as much as Garner’s. The movie star has been in the entertainment business since the mid-90s and is featured in more than three dozen films and TV shows including Electra, Pearl Harbor, Valentine’s Day, Dallas Buyers Club, and Peppermint to name a few.

These days, she has an estimated net worth of $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Report that Affleck and Lopez’s drama ‘took a toll’ on Garner and Miller’s relationship

Garner and Miller have been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2018 after her divorce from Affleck was finalized. In August 2020, they reportedly split because he wanted to get married but the Daredevil actor was not ready to walk down the aisle again. In March 2021, she revealed that she was single; however, in February 2023, they were spotted out together and insiders said they had been back on for a year.

Now, Life &Style has reported that their relationship has “suffered” as Affleck began to rely more and more on his ex-wife when his marriage to J.Lo fell apart. The publication claimed: “Jen’s had so much going on with Ben, it just took a toll she and John ended up going their separate ways. It wasn’t her choice.”

But despite that report, a source responded telling People that’s not the case and that Garner “is happy with John.”

Miller and Garner have always tried to keep their relationship as private as possible and haven’t spoken about each other publicly, so we’ll just have to stay tuned and see how this turns out.

Rolling Loud Miami 2024 Headliners Ranked by Net Worth

Matt Moore — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 18:46:37 +0000

The Rolling Loud music festival comes to Miami, Florida, on Dec. 13-15 at the Hard Rock Stadium. It’s a homecoming of sorts for the concert, returning to the city where it began 10 years ago.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Rolling Loud, festival organizers have assembled a worthy lineup. Some of the biggest (and richest) names in rap will be on hand, trying to ensure the Miami shows match the star power on display at Rolling Loud Los Angeles earlier this year. And just as impressive as the lineup is the individual net worths of each Rolling Loud Miami headliner for 2024.

https://twitter.com/RollingLoud/status/1823042154999976085

3. Playboi Carti

Rapper Playboi Carti comes in third on the list of the richest headliners for Rolling Loud Miami 2024. The Atlanta, Georgia, native is worth an estimated $9 million.

Playboi Carti’s net worth stems from sales of his two studio albums, Die Lit and Whole Lotta Red. A third album is expected later this year.

Beyond his music releases, Carti also founded the record label and rap collective Opium to add to his bottom line. Five headlining tours and some modeling work have also expanded Playboi Carti’s net worth.

2. Future

Future will also headline Rolling Loud Miami 2024. The 40-year-old rapper (born Nayvadius DeMun Cash) has a net worth of $50 million.

Future became a professional rapper when he signed his first record deal in 2011. Since then, countless hit singles and chart-topping albums have inflated his net worth.

Tours with Drake, Metro Boomin, and Meek Mill further lined Future’s pockets. Thanks to his music career and endorsements, Future purchased a $16 million mansion in Miami in 2023.

1. Travis Scott

Travis Scott has the highest net worth among Rolling Loud Miami 2024 headliners. The rapper boasts an estimated net worth of $80 million.

It didn’t take long for Scott, 33, to make a name for himself in hip-hop and start earning millions. His first major-label recording contract came in 2011 with Epic Records. He also became a producer for Kanye West’s GOOD Music and signed a record deal with T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records.

In 2018 alone, Scott earned $20 million from record sales, streams, touring, and a shoe deal with Nike. His Astroworld tour grossed $65 million in 2019, and a year later, he signed a $20 million endorsement deal with McDonald’s.

Scott has put that net worth to use, making several real estate purchases over the past few years. He bought a $23.5 million mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles in 2020. Scott and then-girlfriend Kylie Jenner bought an L.A. mansion for just over $13 million in 2018 before selling it for $22 million in 2022.

Who Has a Higher Net Worth Taylor Fritz or His Girlfriend Morgan Riddle?

Michelle Kapusta — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 14:13:00 +0000

Taylor Fritz has become one of the biggest stars in the sport of tennis. He has won several ATP tour singles titles in his career including the 2024 and 2023 Delray Beach Open and the 2023 Atlanta Open.

In 2022, after his thrilling match against Rafael Nadal at the Wimbledon Championships, Fritz garnered headlines around the world and so did his girlfriend Morgan Riddle. She had social media buzzing over her reactions as she rooted for her beau. The TV camera time earned the TikTok influencer tens of thousands of new followers and she has been referred to as “the most famous woman in men’s tennis.”

But is her net worth higher than Fritz’s? Here’s the answer to that.

Morgan Riddle’s net worth

Before meeting Fritz, Riddle attended Wagner College in New York. While in school, she started posting lifestyle content on Instagram and TikTok. She graduated in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in English language and literature.

Riddle worked as a real estate agent before getting into the social media and influencer marketing space. She has held positions at companies such as Food Network, Love Your Melon, Hollywire, and MuteSix.

Riddle and Fritz began seeing each other in 2020 after they met on the dating app Raya. She started traveling with her boyfriend on the ATP Tour, documenting their stops across the globe. In one viral post, Riddle said she’s on a mission to make “tennis cool again” and broke down a few things about the sport. She often shares photos of her outfits for different tournaments as well. In 2023, the influencer was featured on the Netflix series Break Point with Fritz.

Today, she is a full-time content creator with well over 300,000 followers on Instagram and around 500,000 on TikTok. Riddle has an estimated net worth of $1 million.

Riddle’s net worth isn’t as much as her tennis-playing beau.

Celebrity Net Worth noted that since turning professional in 2015, Fritz has earned millions in prize money. The athlete has also raked in plenty of cash from his endorsements and partnerships with the brands Hugo Boss, Rolex, and the Austrian sports equipment company Head. In addition, he has a deal with the restaurant chain Chipotle, which for years has been his go-to spot for post-workout meals.

“After practice, I’ll then have lunch. For me the lunches depend on the workout for the day,” Fritz said (per Tennis.com). “If it’s like a really tough workout, then I might get something a little heavier like a Chipotle bowl … You can be unhealthy with your bowl if you want to get like a ton of cheese on it, but you can also just go in and get chicken, rice, vegetables, and guacamole and that’s a great meal after you’ve just worked out. I think a lot of people don’t understand how good it is as a post-workout meal. It’s got everything.”

Today, Fritz has an estimated net worth of $3 million.

What Is Pedro Pascal’s 2024 Net Worth?

Antonio Stallings — Thu, 09 May 2024 00:43:00 +0000

Pedro Pascal has become a household name thanks to projects like Game of Thrones and The Last of Us. But how much has his net worth increased after becoming one of Hollywood’s top stars?

Pedro Pascal’s current net worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pascal is currently worth $10 million. It was a fortune that, on the surface, he seemed to accumulate relatively quickly after his breakthrough Game of Thrones role. But his rise to success was a long and slow process.

He’d already been a presence in Hollywood in the 90s, having done bit parts in small shows like Buffy and The Good Wife. There was a point where Pascal’s good friend Sarah Paulson even paid him personally to keep his acting aspirations alive.

It’s unclear how much he earned during his brief time on Game of Thrones. But the HBO series led Pascal to scoring the lead role in Netflix’s Narcos. The show lasted for three seasons. According to The Things, it’s speculated that Pascal made $2 million from the series.

He experienced more exposure and a huge salary bump thanks to his time on The Mandalorian. It was reported that he made $400,000 – $500,000 per episode in the show’s third season. But his Mandalorian earnings were exceeded by his Last of Us salary, which saw Pascal walk away with $6 million.

Pascal’s net worth should only grow from here. He has a second season of The Last of Us coming up, which may see a slight increase in his salary.

He also might be the new face of Marvel after being cast in the Fantastic Four. It’s unclear what his base salary is for the feature, but the Marvel franchise is known to treat stars very well if they stick around. Robert Downey Jr., for instance, is worth $300 million, and that’s in large part due to his run as Iron Man. If Marvel returns to its glory days, Pascal might end up topping the Forbes list in a few years’ time just like his predecessor.

Pedro Pascal revealed that ‘Buffy the Vampire’ saved him

Buffy might’ve been one of the most important projects that Pascal’s ever been a part of. He was only on the show for one episode, but that one episode had major implications going forward.

Recently, he talked about his time on the show at the Sag Awards. There, Pascal saw his career reach another high after winning the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the ceremony, Pascal reflected on how Buffy might’ve paved the way for his journey to the Sag stage.

“We’re talking about being able to see a doctor, getting sick, getting a surgery, paying my rent when I had less than $7 in my account, and a residual from Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed up and saved the day, and literally is the reason I was able to stay in it and not give up,” he said.

Pedro Pascal’s success didn’t happen the way he envisioned it in his head

Pascal belongs to a long list of stars like Viola Davis and Samuel L. Jackson who found great success in their 40s. Although his dream paid off in a big way, there were times he came close to walking away from acting for good. In an interview with Esquire, Pascal imagined he’d achieve his goals at a much earlier time. So when he didn’t, it was very discouraging.

“My vision of it was that if I didn’t have some major exposure by the time I was twenty-nine years old, it was over, so I was constantly readjusting what it meant to commit my life to this profession, and giving up the idea of it looking like I thought it would when I was a kid. There were so many good reasons to let that delusion go,” he said.

Who Has a Higher Net Worth: Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos?

Michelle Kapusta — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 22:44:34 +0000

There was a time when people thought about Amazon, Jeff Bezos would come to mind. And when they thought about Tesla, Elon Musk would. Nowadays, you might just think of them as two of the richest men on the planet. But how rich are they?

Here’s the answer to which billionaire has the higher net worth. Plus, who the “richest person in the world” is today (it’s not Musk or Bezos).

Elon Musk’s net worth

Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa.

In 1992, he moved to America and attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Musk earned two degrees from the Ivy League school — a Bachelor of Arts in physics and a Bachelor of Science in economics.

His first company was Zip2 Corporation, which has been described as an “Internet version of the Yellow Pages” with maps to help users find local businesses. In 1999, Musk sold Zip2 for a little more than $300 million. The same year, he co-founded X.com (not to be confused with the social media platform formally known as Twitter), an online financial services company. In 2002 X.com, which had merged with Confinity to form PayPal, was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock. That meant Musk, who was PayPal’s largest shareholder, received $175.8 million.

He also founded Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) in 2002. The following year, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded Tesla. Musk, Ian Wright, and J.B. Straubel were the company’s first employees and named co-founders. In 2022, Musk bought what was then known as Twitter for $44 billion including $33.5 billion in equity.

Musk’s estimated net worth is $189 billion as of this writing.

Jeff Bezos’ net worth

Bezos was born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen on Jan. 12, 1964, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

He is the former CEO and current chairman of the board of Amazon, which he founded in 1994.

The world’s largest e-commerce company was started by Bezos in a garage in Seattle. Some may remember that Amazon initially sold just books, but the online bookstore later began selling anything and everything you can find at other retailers around the world and offered the convenience of having those items delivered straight to your door. Amazon is expected to overtake Walmart as the largest retailer.

Bezos founded Blue Origin in 2000 and purchased The Washington Post in 2013. He also owns stakes in Uber and Airbnb.

These days, Bezos has a higher net worth than Musk. According to Celebrity Net Worth, as of this writing Bezos’ estimated net worth is $204 billion.

Who is the richest person in the world now?

Bezos and Musk both held the status of richest person in the world for a time, but now those bragging rights belong to someone else.

The richest person in the world today is Bernard Arnault. For those who aren’t familiar with Arnault he is a French businessman and the chairman of LVMH, the world’s largest luxury goods company.

As of this writing, Arnault has a staggering net worth of about $230 billion.

What Was OJ Simpson’s Net Worth at the Time of His Death?

Michelle Kapusta — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 17:06:35 +0000

The family of O.J. Simpson has shared the news that he died of cancer. He was 76.

A statement posted on Simpson’s X account read: “On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.”

Simpson nicknamed “The Juice” was a former NFL star who got into broadcasting and acting following his football career. But what most people remember is that he stood trial for the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and restaurant waiter, Ron Goldman.

While Simpson was acquitted in the double murder trial, he was found responsible for the deaths in a civil lawsuit and ordered to pay more than $30 million to the Goldman family. Some are wondering now if he ever paid any of that money. Here’s the answer to that and what Simpson’s net worth was at the time of his death.

How much was O.J. Simpson worth at the time of his death?

Simpson drained most of his net worth in the ’90s on his legal fees for his criminal trial in which he hired a team of high-profile lawyers to defend him. His mansion in the Brentwood section of California foreclosed for $4 million before being demolished in 1998. After buying a smaller property in Florida, the ex-Buffalo Bills player declared bankruptcy.

Simpson was later convicted on robbery and kidnapping charges for an incident that took place in Las Vegas in 2007 and spent nine years in prison.

Celebrity Net Worth notes that at the time of his death, Simpson had an estimated net worth of around $3 million.

Did Simpson ever pay the Goldman family?

On Oct. 3, 1995, people across the country awaited the verdict in Simpson’s murder trial. The jury determined that he was not guilty of the stabbing deaths. That acquittal closed his criminal case but two years later Simpson was tried again, this time in a civil wrongful death lawsuit. That jury found Simpson liable for the two deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages.

After that verdict was reached Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman, said: “Thank God for some justice for Ron and Nicole … This is all we ever wanted. We have it. We feel great. We feel appreciated.”

In the years following his trials, Simpson’s main source of income was his NFL pension worth around $5 million. The Goldman family was not allowed to claim any of that though because of state laws protecting pension money. According to multiple reports, the former running back paid back less than $500,000 which mostly came from the sale of various assets and memorabilia.

Simpson is survived by his four children: Arnelle, Jason, Sydney, and Justin.

Who Has a Higher Net Worth Ryan Gosling or Eva Mendes?

Michelle Kapusta — Sun, 10 Mar 2024 22:00:00 +0000

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are a Hollywood power couple. The duo met in 2011 on the set of the movie The Place Beyond the Pines and began dating. Fast-forward 11 years to when it was announced that they were married but no one knows exactly when the pair tied the knot as they have always kept the details of their relationship private. But there are a few things we know about them including what their age difference is, how many children they have, and who has a higher net worth.

What’s Gosling and Mendes’s age difference?

Gosling was born on Nov. 12, 1980, to parents Donna and Thomas Ray Gosling in Ontario, Canada. Mendes was born Eva de la Caridad Méndez in Miami to Cuban parents Eva Pérez Suárez and Juan Carlos Méndez on March 5, 1974, making her six years and eight months older than Gosling.

And speaking of age when Gosling was cast in the movie Barbie, there were reports that Gen Z Barbie fans thought he was “too old” to play Ken.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Ryan Goslinger (@ryangoslinger)

During an interview with GQ, Gosling clapped back at those critics saying: “Suddenly, it’s like, ‘No, we’ve cared about Ken this whole time.’ No, you didn’t. You never did. You never cared. Barbie never f***** with Ken. That’s the point. If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So your hypocrisy is exposed … I care about this dude now. I’m like his representative. ‘Ken couldn’t show up to receive this award, so I’m here to accept it for him.’ ”

Who has the higher net worth?

Gosling and Mendes have two daughters together. Their first, Esmeralda, was born on Sept. 12, 2014, followed by her sister, Amada, on April 29, 2016.

Over the last few years, Mendes has disappeared from the big screen leading some people to speculate about why she “quit acting.” The Training Day actor decided to set the record straight herself via social media. “I never quit acting,” she wrote in a 2022 Instagram post. “I wanted to be home with my babies and fortunately my other business ventures allowed me to do that more than acting would.”

Some of Mendes’ other business ventures ouside of acting have included modeling for several brands such as Calvin Klein, Reebok, and Pantene. Mendes has also released a line of dinnerware and bed linens sold at Macy’s and previously had her own clothing and makeup collection. In addition, she released a picture book titled Desi, Mami & the Neverending Worries, which she described as “a love letter to her children.” Today, she has a net worth of $20 million via Celebrity Net Worth.

Another reason Mendes can also afford to spend time at home is because her husband has a pretty hefty net worth as well.

Gosling has been acting since he was a kid joining the Mickey Mouse Club with other future stars Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. After dropping out of high school to pursue his career in acting, Gosling landed small parts on shows like Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Breaker High, and Young Hercules. He got his big break in the 2000 movie Remember the Titans.

Since then Gosling has taken on some memorable roles in blockbusters like The Notebook, La La Land, Drive, and of course Barbie. Today, he boasts a net worth of $70 million per Celebrity Net Worth.

Inside Michelle Rodriguez’s 2024 Net Worth

Antonio Stallings — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 04:44:00 +0000

Actor Michelle Rodriguez made a fortune off of the Fast and Furious franchise. She’s also starred in some of cinema’s biggest blockbusters over the years, all of which resulted in a sizable 2024 net worth.

What is Michelle Rodriguez’s overall current net worth?

Rodriguez came a long way from her humble beginnings. She didn’t start off wanting to be an actor and instead saw herself as more of a writer. But she also had to support herself to fulfill her passion, so her brother encouraged her to go to school and work a regular job.

“I was doing extra work because I quit school early and got my GED. I wanted to be a writer and I didn’t know how to go about it. My brother told me to go to a technical school because they actually help you get a job and I said I didn’t want to. He said he would give me two years, and then he would make me get a real job. I remember going to Port Authority at 5 p.m. and everyone in suits and ties were so depressed. I knew I couldn’t do that kind of work, have that kind of a job,” Rodriguez once told Daily Actor.

It was here that her brother suggested she try out acting on a whim. This led to the action star auditioning for the drama Girlfight, which she was cast in despite little acting experience.

“I had $2,500 due in bills that I had to pay. I had no money and no job and my brother came up to me and asked me if I really wanted to act. I said ‘yes’ and he handed me Backstage, which is where all the new actors look for work. Then the Girlfight thing came along,” she said.

Rodriguez parlayed that one role into a steady acting career. Celebrity Net Worth reported that, thanks to acting, Rodriguez is worth $25 million in 2024. Her net worth is the result of consistent work and the fortune she’s had of starring in huge blockbusters. She’s been a part of Vin Diesel’s multi-billion dollar Fast and Furious franchise since the first film. She’s also been a familiar face in films like Resident Evil and Avatar.

Michelle Rodriguez joked she uses her ‘Fast and Furious’ checks to pay for lost jewelry

Rodriguez’s earnings allowed her to purchase many lavish products. But one thing she quipped that her earnings came in handy for was jewelry. Rodriguez was caught wearing a few expensive gems during an interview with Vulture.

“It’s ridiculous, but it’s not mine, so I don’t feel so bad. Probably $2 million,” she said when addressing how much her wardrobe was worth.

She quipped that it wasn’t uncommon for her to lose her jewelry. But that was where her checks from Fast and Furious came in handy.

“On my trip here when I went to go see Killing Them Softly at the Palais, the Brad Pitt movie, I ended up losing my Jimmy Choo clutch bag, and it had my phone and my favorite spiritual jewelry.” Rodriguez said. “No, love, it’s a lot more laid back than that. They know I’m held responsible. I just sign a piece of paper saying that it’s such. And if anything, I take the paycheck that I get for Fast and Furious and end up using the entire check to pay it off if I lose anything, you know?”

What Michelle Rodriguez said about being paid much less than her colleagues

A few years ago, a few celebrities were bringing attention to the gender wage gap among actors. These included the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Seth Rogen. Rodriguez also once chimed in on the matter. Although she was paid handsomely, at the time her salary was significantly less than her male co-stars. But Rodriguez told TMZ that she was used to that kind of pay disparity, although she wasn’t a fan of it.

“I get paid a lot less than my colleagues,” she said. “I don’t complain. I’m not going to whine about it. It’s like being born a slave. It’s like, ‘Oh, damn, darn my luck. I wish I was born somewhere else or maybe some other way, but it is what it is.'”
