It's been four years since Jessica Chastain became an overnight sensation with her performance in "The Help," which earned the redhead knockout her first Academy Award nomination for a smaller role in the Emma Stone-led film - now that she's among the biggest stars in Hollywood, what is Jessica Chastain's net worth?
Over the past five years, Jessica Chastain's net worth has grown exponentially, as the 38 year-old actress has chosen a string of great screenplays and kept herself on top while working with some of the biggest names in the film industry, from Helen Mirren to Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, among many others.
This year, 2015, has been particularly amazing for Jessica Chastain's net worth, as she's been part of two of the biggest films to come out: Ridley Scott's return to science fiction, "The Martian" co-starring Matt Damon and Guillermo Del Toro's "Crimson Peak," co-starring Tom Hiddleston.
Last year, Jessica Chastain's net worth also grew quite a bit, as she had four different films coming out, including another science fiction film co-starring Damon, Christopher Nolan's critically acclaimed post-apocalyptical film "Interstellar."
These days, besides promoting her many films (Chastain also has two films set for a 2016 release), the actress, who has been outspoken about being a feminist, often speaks in interviews about what it's like to be a woman in modern-day Hollywood, with her past causes being ageism for everyone other than Meryl Streep and the gender pay gap, which obviously affects Jessica Chastain's net worth in quite the direct way.
According to Variety, the "Tree of Life" actress recently talked about Jennifer Lawrence's open letter regarding the Sony Picture leaks last year that showed she'd been paid less than her male co-stars in "American Hustle," congratulating the Oscar winner for standing up for her rights.
Currently, Celebrity Net Worth lists Jessica Chastain's net worth as $12 million.
