While these days she's mostly known for being the wife of actor-screenwriter-director megastar (and upcoming Batman) Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner's net worth is fairly high on her own account, as the 42 year-old actress has been working in Hollywood for about two decades now, ever since she took a small role in the 90s hit show "Felicity."

It was then that she met her first husband, "Scandal" hunk Scott Foley, with whom she was married for about three years before meeting Affleck, exactly when Jennifer Garner's net worth started to grow, as the actress had just started filming the show that would catapult her to success: "Alias."

The actress received critical acclaim for her role as Sydney Bristow on the ABC show, which recounted the adventures of her character, a spy working as a double agent between the CIA and SD-6 - not only did Jennifer Garner's net worth started growing at this time, she was also nominated for a total of 4 Primetime Emmys and received a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for her performance on the show, where Victor Garber co-starred as her father.

As her career thrived and Jennifer Garner's net worth began to grow exponentially due to commercial and critic success, her first marriage crumbled, but she met her next husband, Affleck (with who she's been since 2004 with three children; he'd previously dated, very famously, singer and actress Jennifer Lopez), on the set of the critical flop "Daredevil," where she played superhero Elektra, later getting her own film that did just about as poorly as the first one.

In any case, Jennifer Garner's net worth comes from her years of work in television and films, having participated in some cult favorites like "Juno" and last year's Oscar-winning film "Dallas Buyers Club."

Currently, Jennifer Garner's net worth is listed in Celebrity Net Worth as $40 million - millions less than that of her famous husband, as Ben Affleck's net worth is $75 million!
