Coming from a dynasty of incredibly gifted actors being the daughter of another Scream Queen, Janet Leigh, as well as "Some Like It Hot" star Tony Curtis, Jamie Lee Curtis' net worth has come mostly from her decades mastering horror movies.
Although Jamie Lee Curtis' net worth stems mostly from her work in horror films, in fact the actress isn't only gifted in her craft, she's also starred in some of the funniest cult comedies of the past few decades, including winning a Golden Globe for her work in "A Fish Called Wanda" and co-starring in the action comedy "True Lies" alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.
When she was 20 years old, Jamie Lee Curtis' net worth took a big boost and has continued to ascend ever since, after the release of her first horror film, now considered a classic: John Carpenter's "Halloween," where she played Laurie Strode in the film that introduced psychotic serial killer Michael Myers to the big screen.
Later on, Jamie Lee Curtis' net worth would continue to grow from her other horror ventures, including four "Halloween" sequels as well as films like "The Fog" and "Prom Night," earning her the status of "scream queen" - something she's not afraid to look back at in her latest venture!
The newest project making Jamie Lee Curtis' net worth grow is a homage to her previous work, as she teams up with "American Horror Story" creator Ryan Murphy for the upcoming show "Scream Queens," a new take on the genre that will see the 56 year-old actress co-starring with "Glee" alum Lea Michele, as well as "Little Miss Sunshine" Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin, Julia Roberts' niece Emma Roberts and even pop star Ariana Grande.
"When we were writing the pilot of this, I asked to meet Jamie Lee, who I had loved forever," Murphy said during last week's San Diego Comic-Con, according to L.A. Times, adding what he told Curtis upon meeting, "Look if you don't do this show we're not going to do it."
Currently, Jamie Lee Curtis' net worth stands at $35 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - let's see what happens to her fortune after "Scream Queens"!
