JESSICA ALBA – EST. $350 MILLION

Jessica Alba was born on April 28, 1981 in Pomona, California. As a teenager, Jessica Alba had to move with her family frequently because of her father’s work. This led to Jessica Alba’s lack of friends and poor grades. She often felt lonely. During this lonely time, she decided to be an actress.

Jessica Alba has no doubt made millions from her many roles in Hollywood, but a large part of her $350-million net worth is on account of the investment money she put into The Honest Company, an American consumer goods company she started with internet entrepreneur Christopher Gavigan. Interestingly enough, it was Alba’s many childhood illnesses that led her to create a company that offered children’s products which were both ‘eco-friendly’ and free from petrochemicals and synthetic fragrances. By October of 2017, the company’s reported value was just a shy short of a billion dollars.
