Jamie Lee Curtis is not only the scream queen but also in recent years has been one of the most prominent actresses in the drama and comedy genres. After her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once as Deirdre Beaubeirdre, the star won her first Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role.
Despite the majority of her success coming from her career in the entertainment industry, her net worth has been fattening with the release of her books, sponsorships with various brands, and her organizations. This morning, she released her thirteenth children’s book, titled Just One More Sleep.
Over time, she has managed to establish herself as one of the best in her field not only as a writer but also as an actress and producer. Currently, she holds the status of one of the wealthiest celebrities in Hollywood, being one of the most popular and highly paid when taking on a new project.
What is Jamie Lee Curtis’s net worth?
Certainly, with a career like Jamie Lee Curtis’, the fortune she possesses must be anything but small, quite the opposite. Up until 2024, the talented actress has $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The substantial sum of money includes her wealth, along with that of her husband, actor, writer, and producer Christopher Guest. Despite not always earning a hefty sum for her projects, one of the most notable moments was when she reprised the role of Laurie Strode in the 2018 Halloween reboot.
The film was not only a box office success but also managed to gross $76 million in its opening. This installment marked the highest-grossing for any movie with a lead actress over 55. Undoubtedly, it ended up being the most successful in the entire franchise in terms of box office, as it raked in $255 million.
What were Jamie Lee Curtis’s salaries?
The scream queen is not only the one who brought to life one of the most iconic characters in the horror genre but Curtis confessed in an interview with Variety that despite being considered one of the best, she didn’t make much money with this type of films… not until Halloween (2018).
“To be completely honest, I really didn’t make much money on horror movies. As a young actress, no [they didn’t pay me well]. I didn’t have any ownership in the films. There was no profit participation. There was no backend. And I didn’t come out for that reason. And certainly for Halloween 2, which was the last of the six [horror movies] that I did when I was 20, I think I got paid well for that time. But it wasn’t like… it didn’t earn a lot of money”, Jamie asserted.

- Halloween: Resurrection – $3 million (According to Celebrity Net Worth)
- Halloween II – $100 thousand (According to Celebrity Net Worth)
