Jennifer Aniston is an actress, model, producer, and brand ambassador who has a net worth of $300 million. She is one of Hollywood's most sought-after comedic actresses. Aniston is best known for her role in the hit television sitcom Friends. She was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Aniston is divorced from actor Brad Pitt, with whom she was married for five years, and separated from actor Justin Theroux, with whom she married in 2015.

She is the daughter of John Aniston and Nancy Dow, both actors, with her father best remembered for his role in Days of Our Lives. Nancy Dow, her mother, made a name for herself in a number of films and television shows. Jennifer Aniston began her acting career in Off-Broadway productions such as For Dear Life and Dancing on Checker's Grave. Aniston's acting career did not pay well enough for her to support herself, so she worked as a waitress. She also worked as a Nutrisystem spokesmodel. It wasn't until later on that Aniston became one of the world's highest-paid actresses since her big break in the 1990s.

She debuted as an actress at a young age, playing an uncredited role in the 1988 film Mac and Me; her first major film role came in the 1993 horror-comedy Leprechaun. She then played Rachel Green on the long-running sitcom Friends from 1994 to 2004, a role that helped Jennifer Aniston become a household name. Aniston and her female co-stars earned $1 million per episode during the show's 2003 and 2004 seasons, making them the highest-paid TV actresses of all time. The show was a huge success, and Aniston and her co-stars gained international recognition. Her character became a fan-favorite and is now regarded as one of the greatest female characters in American television history. Aniston was nominated for five Primetime Emmy Awards (two for Supporting Actress, three for Lead Actress), and she won one for Lead Actress. She was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and won Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy in 2003.

The cast was able to demand backend points on the show as part of their contract negotiations in 2000, allowing them to earn royalties from the show's sale into reruns. Friends continues to earn more than a billion dollars per year in syndication royalties and streaming deals. It has been reported that each cast member can earn $10-20 million in royalties alone in a year.

She was the highest-paid actress in the world in 2003, earning a total of $21 million. She now earns between $25 and $30 million per year. She earned $75 million from film paychecks alone between 1997 and 2011. For much of that time, she was paid $8 million per film. Jennifer earned $10 million for her role in 2011's Just Go With It, which was one of her highest film paychecks.

Aside from acting in films, the actress has appeared in numerous commercials and served as a brand ambassador for a number of well-known companies. Aniston also founded Plan B Entertainment, a film production company.

Jennifer is a sought-after celebrity endorser. She has made a fortune endorsing brands such as Smartwater, Emirates, and Aveeno over the years. Jennifer now earns around $10 million per year solely from endorsement deals. Aniston has also created six perfumes. Jennifer spent $20.1 million in January 2012 to purchase a home in Los Angeles' Bel-Air neighborhood. This house is located on 3.25 acres of land. Jennifer spent $13.5 million on a Beverly Hills home in 2006, shortly after her divorce from Brad Pitt, which she managed to renovate from the scratch at a cost of several million dollars. She sold this house for $35 million in 2011.  She currently owns at least $10 million in New York City real estate.
