Jennifer Garner’s net worth is $80 million. With a string of blockbuster movies and successful TV series under her belt, she was named one of the highest paid actresses of her generation.

Garner started acting right after graduating with a degree in theatre. She starred in her first lead role in "Rose Hill" and had cameo appearances in several movies after that. Garner was also a cast member on “Felicity" and started to make a name for himself but it was not until 2001 that she really got the attention of the showbiz industry.

The 48-year-old actress bagged the lead role on “Alias,” which went on to have five seasons, per Celebrity Net Worth. Garner started with a $40,000 per episode pay but in the last season of “Alias,” she reportedly received $150,000 per episode. The success of the action-thriller TV series paved the way for more projects. Steven Spielberg cast her in "Catch Me if You Can" in 2002 and she was paired with Ben Affleck in “Daredevil” a year after.

Although she already had a string of successful movies and TV shows under her belt, the theater major found a way to go back to her roots. In 2007 and 2008, she played the role of Roxanne in the play "Cyrano de Bergerac," which gained rave reviews from critics. The Houston, Texas native earned a reputation as one of the most marketable actresses during that time. With blockbuster movies, award nominations and versatility acting in action, comedy and drama, Garner was tapped by Neutrogena as ambassador and Capital One in 2010 and 2014, respectively.

The “Elektra” actress is one of the few who captured several major awards in acting such as Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, People’s Choice Award and Teen Choice Award.

Garner married her “Daredevil” co-star Affleck and they have three children together. The couple had a rocky relationship but tried to mend things up before finally announcing they were filing for divorce in 2017. According to In Touch Weekly, the two used to live in a mansion in Pacific Palisades, California, which carried a price tag of $32 million. Garner later acquired a property in Los Angeles' Brentwood Park neighborhood for $8 million. On the other hand, Affleck settled in a $19 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades. It was reported that the two had no prenuptial agreement.

Aside from acting professionally, Garner is also busy helping out charities and NGOs. As one of the ambassadors of Save the Children, the actress is fighting to improve the lives of the underprivileged children through education and accessible health care.
