When the news of the break up between Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan hit the airwaves, it was a crushing blow to fans of the couple who have championed their relationship as goals having been married for nine years. While the world processed the end of yet another Hollywood major relationship, Channing and Dewan went through the arduous task of fashioning out an amicable divorce, with the biggest factor, money, at the center of the puzzle.
They did manage to complete the divorce, with little scandal to report and have moved on with their respective careers. We take a look at how much money the former couple goals are now making in their respective careers.
Channing Tatum’s Net Worth
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan announced their divorce in 2018 and in that period, both of them have gotten a chance to move on with their respective careers.
In the year the divorce was announced, in 2018, Channing Tatum starred in only one project, in the movie, Smallfoot, voicing the character, Smallfoot, something many considered to be the result of the emotional tax of the divorce.
However, the solitary appearance in the year has very little effect on the earning power of the actor, who has an estimated net worth of $50 million.
The actor, who made his first appearance on screen in the short movie, Ricky Martin: She Bangs made his full debut in an episode of CSI: Miami, where he appeared in an episode playing the character, Bon Davenport.
Channing Tatum then got his breakthrough appearing in the movie Step Up, where he played Tyler Gage. Since then, Channing has been appearing in several major movies, including the Magic Mike movies.
He has starred in several box office successes like The Lego Movie and its sequel, The Lego Movie 2, Don Jon, 21 Jump Street, G.I. Joe: Retaliation and G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
His movies, which are the dominating parts of a filmography that has over 50 movies and TV shows, have earned over $2.6 billion in the global box office, with over $1.1 billion in the domestic box office alone.
Aside from his acting credits, which are the highest contributors to his net worth, Channing Tatum also owns two production companies, 33andOut Productions, and Iron Horse Entertainment.
Through them, he has produced successful movies like Magic Mike, Magic Mike XXL, White House Down, Logan Lucky, 22 Jump Street, 21 Jump Street and the shows Comrade Detective and Step Up: High Water.

Jenna Dewan’s Net Worth
Jenna Dewan, who is an actress and a dancer, started her career as a backup dancer to the iconic musician, Janet Jackson. As a backup dancer, she also worked with some other notable musicians such as Missy Elliot, Pink, and Christina Aguilera.
Her biggest break came through a combination of her natural talents as a dancer and a move into the world of acting when he starred as Nora Clark in Step Up, a film that also had her future husband, Channing Tatum.
Jenna Dewan launched her acting career through the movie and has appeared in several other movies and TV shows since she made the appearance in 2006.
She has built up a filmography with over 35 movies and TV shows, several of which have been major productions but with Jenna in minor or supporting roles.

While she has had a decent filmography, Jenna Dewan has only ever played a leading role or part of a group of leading character only a handful of times, recording over $112 million in the global box office.
While she has found much success individually as an actress, Jenna Dewan had earned significantly from her career as an actress and has further combined her acting career with being a TV host for the show, World of Dance, which she hosted between 2017 and 2018. Her efforts in the business so far have earned her a personal net worth of $6 million.
A comparison between Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan puts Channing in a distant lead but the couple, when they were together shared their respective wealth.
