While many fans of Jessica Alba know her because of her acting career, the Honey star has also carved out a name for herself in the business world with The Honest Company. She founded the company in 2011 with a focus on producing and selling eco-friendly personal care, beauty, baby and household items. Her work with The Honest Company and her time in Hollywood both contributed to an estimated net worth of several hundred million, but changes in her business reportedly led that amount to drop by 2021. However, Jessica is still worth a pretty penny today.
What Is Jessica Alba’s Net Worth?
In 2016, Forbes reported that Jessica had a net worth of $340 million, largely due to The Honest Company, which was valued at $1.7 billion five years after its founding. However, after The Honest Company went public in 2021, the outlet updated her estimated net worth.
“Even at the high end of the pricing range, Alba’s 6 percent stake (including options) would only be worth just under $100 million. That is far less than the $340 million Forbes estimated she was worth when we estimated her stake to be 20 percent and put her on our 2016 list of America’s most successful self-made women,” the publication noted.
Celebrity Net Worth lists Jessica’s estimated net worth as $100 million as of January 2025.
How Does Jessica Alba Earn Money?
Jessica began acting at 13 years old in the 1994 films Camp Nowhere and The Secret World of Alex Mack. However, she gained recognition at 19 years old when she starred in the series Dark Angel from 2000 to 2002. Jessica received a Golden Globe nomination for her role.
On the big screen, Jessica had her big break with the 2003 film Honey. She followed the movie with hits like Fantastic Four (2005), Good Luck Chuck (2007) and Little Fockers (2010).
What Happened to Jessica Alba’s The Honest Company?
On the day of The Honest Company’s public debut in May 2021, Jessica owned 5.56 million shares, according to CNW. Its debut price was listed at $23, and her stake was worth $130 million before taxes. However, supply chain “challenges” led the company to lose value over time, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Her stake in the company ultimately “declined in value to just over $27 million,” the outlet reported.
THR also reported that the Camp Nowhere star was paid almost $8 million for her work with The Honest Company in 2021, which was made up of a $563,077 salary, a $6 million stock award and a $1.4 million bonus.
Jessica announced in April 2024 that she was stepping down from her leadership role.
“It is with a grateful heart that twelve years after founding The Honest Company, I am stepping down from my leadership role as Chief Creative Officer,” she wrote on Instagram. “However, I will continue to provide strategic advice through my role on the board.”
Jessica continued, “While there would never have been an easy time to make this decision, I know we have a leadership team in place with Carla Vernón at the helm to advance our founding vision and strengthen Honest’s legacy as an industry change-maker. Building Honest has been a true labor of love. From the first concept book I pitched to my friends in Mommy and Me class, to ringing the bell at Nasdaq with my family by my side — this journey has been the ride of a lifetime, one that only existed in my wildest dreams.”
Jessica Alba and Husband Cash Warren Are Reportedly Separated
On January 8, 2024, TMZ reported that Jessica and husband Cash Warren had separated and were heading for divorce after 16 years of marriage. However, the exact reason for their split is unclear.
A source told People after the initial split report that the couple is “still friends and all about [their] kids,” Honor, Haven and Hayes. “No matter what’s going on right now, it seems they will remain close. If they’re filing for divorce, it’s not because of some hateful drama. They still look happy together.”
The insider continued, “Jess has mentioned over the years though that it’s hard to keep the spark.”
