The beautiful actress and co-head of the superstar Smith family, while less famous than husband Will, is still one of the best known African American actresses in the United States - so, what is Jada Pinkett Smith's net worth?

Jada is one of the most recognizable faces in show business, particularly after she married Will Smith, who first became famous in the 90s with his hit show "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." A little-known fact is that Jada actually auditioned for a role in the show at some point, and that's when the two of them met - way before Jada Pinkett Smith's net worth reached the numbers it has now!

These days, Jada Pinkett Smith's net worth is among the highest for any black actress, as she's been working in the industry for about two decades now - plus raising a family of superstars, with her two children with Will, Jaden and Willow, who have become infamous in the past few weeks after a cryptic Q&A with Time Magazine, where they started babbling incoherent pseudo-intellectual comments and became Internet memes.

Jada herself is most famous for having been a part of the "Matrix" movies, having played Zion revolutionary Niobe in both "Matrix: Reloaded" and "Matrix: Revolutions," opposite Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne.

These days, Jada has been working mostly on television: the actress spent two seasons in "Hawthorne" from 2009 to 2011, and now she's been working in the new DC Comics television series "Gotham," where she plays Fish Mooney in the city where Bruce Wayne's Batman was born - and, of course, it's not doing any harm to Jada Pinkett Smith's net worth!

Currently, Jada Pinkett Smith's net worth stands at about $20 million dollars, according to Celebrity Net Worth - all while her husband's is circling the $220 million!
