Here's How Much Jennifer Love Hewitt Is Worth Now

Jennifer Love Hewitt has enjoyed a hugely successful 35-year career, kicking off all the way back in 1984 with a stint on Kids Incorporated, according to IMDb (though she also starred in several TV commercials prior).  

The beloved Texan is a triple threat, carving out a path for herself as an actress, singer-songwriter, and producer. She also earned the honor of being named "The World's Sexiest Woman" in 1999 by Maxim magazine, followed by "The Sexiest Woman on TV" almost a decade later by TV Guide, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Nowadays, Hewitt is also a wife and mother, but shows no signs of slowing down her impressive trajectory with a slew of TV hits to her name. 

Hewitt's big break came in Party of Five, while her movie career began with 1992's Munchie. Just five years later, the actress would be catapulted to teen stardom following the release of hit slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which she starred opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.

Aside from appearing extensively on TV and in movies, Hewitt also cultivated a successful side gig as a singer-songwriter. She released her debut album, Love Songs in 1992, followed by Let's Go Bang in 1995, her self-titled album in 1996, and BareNaked in 2002. Her 1999 single "How Do I Deal" even reached No. 59 on the Billboard Top 100.

Hewitt won Best Actress on TV at the Saturn Awards in 2007 and 2008 and found fame on the small screen once again with The Ghost Whisperer, which ran from 2005 to 2010. The Client List, which ran from 2012-2013, came next, for which Hewitt was nominated for a Golden Globe. She also starred on Criminal Minds from 2014-2015. 

TV certainly seems to be her comfort zone, with a recurring role on first responder drama 9-1-1 beginning in 2018. However, Hewitt told The Wrap her latest character reminded her of a past role. "There were definitely some moments where it was like, 'Wow, I have not handled this part of myself since I was like 18 in I Know What You Did Last Summer,'" she said.

Motherhood has changed her approach to work, too, as Hewitt told Us, "It's been a beautiful gift as an actor. It's a much more accessible thing for me now in a way that I didn't know was possible."

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actress and mother is worth around $18 million, so clearly all those years of toiling in the entertainment industry have paid off.
