How Much Is Renee Zellweger Actually Worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Renee Zellweger is reportedly worth a whopping $90 million. In 2001, she made a cool $3.75 million for her role in the iconic Bridget Jones' Diary, and when she reprised her role as the titular character in the sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, she more than tripled her earnings and reportedly made $11 million for that film alone. Her roles in Chicago, Cold Mountain, and Cinderella Man added to her overall net worth, as she reportedly made a total of $30 million between the three films.

In 2007, she made Forbes' "The Richest 20 Women In Entertainment" list, thanks to the success of her early-to-mid 2000s films. The outlet also reported that Zellweger was making around $15 million per movie at the time. Zellweger noticeably took a six-year break from acting in 2010, and in an interview with New York Magazine, the Cold Mountain actress opened up about the reason why she stopped acting for more than half a decade.

"I wasn't healthy. I wasn't taking care of myself. I was the last thing on my list of priorities," she told the outlet (via USA Today), adding that seeing a therapist helped her realize that she was spending "99 percent of my life as the public persona."
