Introduction

Ashley Judd is an American professional actress and political activist with an estimated net worth of $14 Million.

Acting Career

Ashley did not get her first major role until the early 1990s. She appeared in two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and booked a recurring role on the NBC drama Sisters.

Her debut film role came around the same time, and it was a brief appearance in ‘Kuffs.’ She then booked a starring role in the independent film ‘Ruby in Paradise.’ She then starred in movies like ‘Natural Born Killers,’ ‘Smoke,’ and ‘Heat.’

One of Ashley Judd’s best movies of the 1990s was Norma Jean and Marilyn, in which Judd played Marilyn Monroe. Overall, the 1990s were very successful for the young and aspiring Ashley Judd, and the 2000s weren’t that bad either.

During the 2000s, this American actress appeared in numerous productions, including ‘Where the Heart Is,’ ‘Someone Like You,’ ‘High Crimes,’ ‘Frida,’ ‘De-Lovely,’ and ‘Twisted.’ She also performed in a Broadway revival of ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.’

When the 2010s came, Ashley Judd was an established and critically acclaimed actress. She appeared in films such as Flypaper, Divergent, and Insurgent and starred as Rebecca Winstone in ABC’s Missing.

A supporting role came with ‘A Time to Kill,’ which received positive reviews while performing well at the box office. She was a major American actress who was offered roles in movies like ‘Kiss the Girls’ and ‘Double Jeopardy.’

Earnings & Salary

1997	Kiss the Girls	$450,000

1999	Eye of the Beholder	$1,000,000
2001	Someone Like You	$4,000,000
Total Calculated Earnings:		$6,450,000

While we don’t have confirmed figures for all of Ashley Judd’s film salaries, we can discuss some keen paydays in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 1997, Judd reportedly earned $450,000 for starring in Kiss the Girls. In 1999, she earned two separate $1 million paychecks for her roles in Double Jeopardy and Eye of the Beholder. Finally, Judd’s biggest reported payday arrived in 2001, earning an impressive $4 million to star in Someone Like You.

This would bring her total earnings for these four films to $6.45 million, but they’re a small drop in the ocean considering she’s starred in almost sixty projects throughout her career.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Judd’s biggest box office hits came from her role as Natalie in the Divergent series, where she starred in all three films. The second film in the series, Insurgent, grossed $297 million at the box office, making it the best performer of the three.

The third movie, Allegiant, performed the worst, grossing just $179 million.
