Over the past couple of years, Halle Berry has been making headlines more over her personal life than her choice in movie projects, as she went through a widely publicized split from French Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, as their custody fight over their daughter became messy - now, once again, it's Halle Berry's net worth making news.

Since last year, the 49 year-old actress has been working on CBS in "Extant" playing astronaut Molly Woods, who inexplicably comes back to Earth pregnant after 13 months in a solo mission, and it's a venture that had contributed to Halle Berry's net worth for the past months, as E! Online reported that she was making more than $100 thousand per episode in the sci-fi series.

Now, according to Variety, CBS has decided to cancel the show that was boosting Halle Berry's net worth after two seasons, but the television network's keeping the "X-Men" star all the same, currently developing a new project for her.

As The Wrap reports, the new series raising Halle Berry's net worth will be called "Legalease," and it will see the actress playing a biracial lawyer from Chicago who has to go to New Orleans to follow a new case, partnering with a white attorney for the job.

Besides starring in the project, Halle Berry's net worth will increase from another job in the series: she'll be an executive producer.

Berry's career is quite impressive as it is, having been a Bond Girl in Pierce Brosnan's last film in the role, "Die Another Day," as well as having won a series of awards in her career, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe for the biopic "Dorothy Dandridge" and, most famously, becoming the first African-American woman to take home the Best Leading Actress Oscar in 2002 for her work in "Monster's Ball" - quite a long way from her start in the short-lived "Living Dolls" series co-starring Leah Remini in 1989!

Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Halle Berry's net worth at $80 million.
