If we are going to compare the net worth of the exes, then we should start with the most popular between the two of them – Jennifer Aniston. She is an actress, who is most known for her role on everybody’s favorite sitcom, Friends. She famously played the character, Rachel Green on the show and has been in the industry for over thirty years. She started with an uncredited appearance in Mac and Me, which was her very first movie, then she made her debut in TV in 1990, where she played Courtney Walker in Molloy.

Before she got her big break in Friends in 1994, Jennifer Aniston appeared in a bunch of other works before starring in the popular sitcom. She appeared in shows like The Edge, Ferris Bueller, Muddling Through, Burke’s Law.

While she solidified herself as a TV actress, Jennifer Aniston also proved to be a regular face on the big screen as she appeared in movies like Leprechaun, Camp Cucamonga and a couple of others, then Friends began. Sure, Jennifer Aniston made some money before she was cast in Friends, but her mega wealth today is undeniably a result of her role on the show.

Jennifer Aniston was on Friends for ten years between 1994 and 2004, during which she appeared in 236 episodes. While many fans of the show would look back on the show and able to recite some of the dialogue in each episode word for word, Jennifer looks back on it as the unending source of her wealth.

She has been making as much as $20 million per year since the show ended in residual income, and over the course of the last two seasons of the show, Jennifer Aniston made as much as $1 million per episode, a fact that made her and her castmates the highest-paid cast members on TV at the time.

One could say that Jennifer Aniston, with such level of income from Friends, doesn’t need to be successful as a movie actress, but she has also recorded some degree of success as one.

The increase in popularity that emerged out of her role as Rachel Green made her a huge box office draw, and over the course of her career, her movies have made almost $2 billion in the global box office at over $1.6 billion.

This comes from a filmography with over 40 movies, with some of her most successful movies being Bruce Almighty, Horrible Bosses, Just Go With It, The Bounty Hunter and a couple more others.

Other than her earnings from Friends and movie successes, Jennifer Aniston’s mega net worth has also come from brand endorsements, which includes deals with Emirate Airlines, L’Oreal, Aveeno, Smartwater, and Living Proof, which she used to own before it was sold to Unilever.

With divorces often coming with a large payout from the richer personality, thanks to a prenuptial agreement, Jennifer Aniston has been able to keep her net worth despite her divorce from Justin Theroux.

Of course, that is not to suggest that Justin Theroux is a bum because he is doing quite alright for himself and you can see how much below.

Perhaps if you are Jennifer Aniston or you earn as much as her, Justin Theroux’s net worth might be something to smirk at but not to us regular folk.

Just like Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux is also an actor and he began his career in 1995, much later than his ex-wife. He made his debut appearance onscreen in an episode of the show, C.P.W, where he starred as Gary Andrews.

In the following year, he made his first appearance in a movie, I Shot Andy Warhol, playing the character Mark and ever since, he has been a mainstay of both movies and TV shows.

Throughout a career that has lasted over a quarter of a decade, Justin Theroux’s filmography, which boasts of over 60 movies and TV shows, has recorded credits in major productions like American Psycho, Mulholland Drive, Charlie’s Angeles: Full Throttle, Miami Vice, Wanderlust, and The Leftovers.

As an actor, Justin Theroux is not particularly a leading man, and he has only primarily been a supporting actor for a majority of his career, with his supporting roles earning over $2.5 billion in the box office. Sadly, such high earnings haven’t reflected in his net worth because of the comparatively low earnings of supporting actors.

As a leading actor, however, Justin Theroux has made some decent splash in the box office, with an estimated over $200 million in box office sales in movies where he played a lead role.

This is believed to have contributed to his modest net worth, along with backend income from some of his technical roles as a screenwriter, director, and producer. As a screenwriter, he is famous for writing the popular movie, Tropic Thunder.
