Jodie Foster's net worth has been increasing since the mid 70s, when the then child actress first landed her most famous role to date: the 13 year-old prostitute Iris in Martin Scorsese's now classic film 'Taxi Driver,' starring Robert De Niro. Currently, Jodie Foster's net worth is under scrutiny, as the actress and director has just sold her former home in Hollywood Hills for the astounding price of $4,995,000 - underselling it, in fact, as when it first went out in the market in June 2013, the house had been valued at $6.4 million, according to The Today Show's website.
Jodie Foster's net worth is the result of a career that has spanned throughout her entire life: even before 'Taxi Driver,' the talented actress was already working from a very young age. When she was barely a toddler, Foster was already seen around advertisements, as she was one of the iconic Coppertone girls, in one of those commercials that feature a puppy pulling down a little girl's swimsuit bottom. Jodie certainly stepped up from her very beginnings in show business!
Jodie Foster's net worth comes after a string of very critically successful performances: she was first nominated to the Academy Award after 'Taxi Driver,' t 14 being one of the youngest nominees ever. She didn't take the award then (her only nomination for a supporting role so far), but Foster went on to gather three more nominations, two of which became Oscar wins. 1989 saw her get her first Oscar for her role of rape victim in 'The Accused,' and then she received her second Oscar in 1992 for her iconic role as Clarise Starling in the classic psychological thriller 'The Silence of the Lambs' opposite sir Anthony Hopkins, who also won the Oscar for his performance.
Currently, Jodie Foster's net worth stands at $100 million, even if the actress has stepped back considerably from show business in the last few years to focus on her family and children.
Recently, she has directed episodes of Netflix's series 'House of Cards' and 'Orange is the New Black,' and has just sold her Spanish villa in the Hollywood Hills: according to the Daily Mail, she has been living in Beverly Hills since 2012, with wife Alexandra Hedison and her children Charlie and Kit.
