Catherine Zeta-Jones attained instant living-legend status by playing Velma in Chicago, and last year, she returned to the spotlight in a major way as the iconic Morticia Addams in Netflix's Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega.

In case you're wondering how much money Catherine Zeta-Jones has in the bank, the answer will shock you—especially when you take into account the assets she has with her husband, Michael Douglas. Truly, the wealth is on another level, so it's time to break down Catherine Zeta-Jones's net worth.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Made a Lot of Money in the Early Aughts

Zeta-Jones's salary for Traffic in 2000? $3 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. And her salary for Chicago in 2002? Almost triple that at $8 million. Basically, she was securing the bag at every single opportunity. But with talent like this? Makes sense.

How Much Did Catherine Zeta-Jones Get for Wednesday?

Netflix hasn't released that info, but we can sleuth out an approximation using Stranger Things as an example. After all, it's also a Netflix series that blew up after its first season and had a several iconic actors as part of its core cast. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Winona Ryder was making $100,000 per episode for season 1 of Stranger Things—and it seems fair to assume that Zeta-Jones's Wednesday salary was also somewhere in this ballpark.

However, the first season of Wednesday blew up even bigger than the first season of Stranger Things, so expect her to score a major raise ahead of season 2. For context, Winona Ryder's salary increased to a whopping $350,000 per episode once Stranger Things became one of Netflix's most profitable shows.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Earned Millions From Endorsements Way Before Instagram

The actress has worked with a ton of brands over the years, but her contract with T-Mobile in 2002 was especially lucrative, earning her a casual $10 million—which was pretty much unheard of at that time.

Don't Forget About Her Home Decor Line

If you're not shopping for home decor at Casa Zeta-Jones, where are you living? It's unclear how successful this business is, but it's sold at QVC.

She Has Millions Tied Up in Real Estate

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Zeta-Jones and Douglas own an estate in Spain, which they got back in 1990 for $3.5 million. They've been trying to offload this place for as much as $60 million, and while it hasn't sold yet, once it does, you can expect their net worths to increase by several tens of millions. And speaking of flipping properties for a massive profit, Zeta-Jones and Douglas sold their $11.2 million Westchester County home for $20.5 million, and also have money tied up in a huge apartment in NYC, a casual home in Bermuda, and a $4.5 million place in Irvington.

So, What Is Catherine Zeta-Jones' Total Net Worth?

Slightly complicated, but here's the deal: While Zeta-Jones has a total net worth of $150 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, at least half of this is thanks to assets she shares with Douglas (think homes, properties, investments, etc). Together, the couple has a combined net worth of $350 million.
