HOW TO GET RICH WITH A NORMAL JOB

Getting rich or becoming wealthy is a desire that many people secretly harbor. It doesn’t matter if you have a normal job, no job, or run your own business, everybody wants to know how to get richer. Unfortunately for many, this desire is just a lofty dream, especially for those who have a normal job. But, it doesn’t have to just be a dream. Becoming wealthy is a practical goal worthy of pursuit. And despite what cynics and the people who have a penchant for excuses say, it is achievable for everyone. So, if you truly want to know how to get rich with a normal job keep reading, because we’ll show you how in this post.
“Wealth Is Largely The Result Of Habit.”
– Jacob astor –
The truth is, everyone and anyone can get rich. Yes, most millionaires are made from being the owner of their own business, but, that doesn’t mean you can’t become a millionaire too. There are plenty of people all over the world who have amassed serious levels of wealth with just a normal job.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a janitor, a hairstylist, teacher, or a fire fighter, it can and has been done.
But, it doesn’t happen over night and it doesn’t happen by accident. Becoming rich requires a plan that needs to be followed. Fortunately, the plan is an extremely simple 5 step plan than works for anyone who implements it. But the key is disciplined implementation. So, if you’re ready to learn about this very simple plan that if followed, will help you get rich with your normal job, let’s dive in to the juicy details:
HOW TO GET RICH WITH A NORMAL JOB
1. Start Saving 20% of Your Income
First things first, you have to start saving your money. You can’t get rich if you don’t build the habit of putting your money away. Ben Franklin once stated, “Get what you can, and what you get hold, Tis the stone that will turn all your lead into gold.” Andrew Carnegie also said “The fastest way to double your money is to fold them in half and put them in your pocket.”
So, it’s never a bad idea to follow the advice of America’s first millionaire, and one of its all-time richest. That said, find a way to scrape at least 20% of the monthly income you earn from your normal job, and start stashing it away, stacking it, or whatever you want to call it. If you really want to get rich, start saving your money!
If 20% seems like an unreasonable amount to you, just keep this fact in mind, millionaires on average, invest 20% of their net pay each month.[1] If you can’t start at 20% at first, that’s okay, start smaller, with the aim of eventually getting to 20%.
So start small, aim high, but most of all, start.
2. Create a 3 to 6 Month Rainy Day Fund
The foundation of your fortune needs to be built on a rock, not sand. So, before you begin throwing your hard earned money into assets that have double digit growth potential, it’s not a bad idea to create a financial safety net for yourself first.
This three to six month fund is important to have in the event you lose your job, or suffer some type of financial set back like a car accident, unexpected medical bills, etc…
It’s key that if an emergency occurs, that you pull money from your emergency fund, vs. your investments, because investments tend to be more volatile. And if you pull your money for emergencies from investments at the wrong time, you could end up losing lots of money.
On top of this, it is important to never get in the habit of pulling money from your investments. Because once you do, it’ll be hard to stop. At which point, you’ll have created the habit of diminishing your wealth, not growing it.
So build your emergency fund as soon as possible. Then, move on to the next step.
3. Pay Off Your High Interest Debts
Mark Cuban once stated, “If you use a credit card, you don’t want to be rich. The first step to getting rich requires discipline. If you really want to be rich, you need to find the discipline.”
That said, after you create a little security blanket for yourself you’ll be eager to dive into investing. But, you’ll want to show a little more restraint and practice a little discipline by moving on to paying down your high interest debt first.
The reason to pay this debt off first, is because more often than not, your high interest debts can trap you in a form of a vicious cycle. Meaning, you’ll pay your creditors money, but you’ll make very little to no progress paying down the principle.
Creditors love it when you pay on a regular schedule and especially at just the minimum payment, because it makes them richer and slowly impoverishes you. So if the interest rate on your debt is near the average assessed interest rate on credit cards, which is 22.8%, you may want to pay that debt down A.S.A.P.[2]
Why? Because there are very few safe investments that will safely earn you over a 22.8% return a year. Thus, your money will be better used paying down debt that drains your wealth vs. grows it.
Sure, some debt you’ll want to keep and pay down on a regular schedule, (like your car or mortgage) but if the interest is higher on those debts than what you can safely earn in the markets or on investments, then you may want to consider crushing that high interest debt first.
4. Minimize Wasteful Spending
This next step is the hardest for most people. In fact, it’s what leads most people to accrue what they just paid down in step three, debt. Everyone wants to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and the easiest way for people to enjoy the money they make is to spend it.
Splurging can be fun, give us a little endorphin rush, and make us feel like we are “rich”, or that we’ve “made it” because of the material possessions that we now possess. But, this is the area that you’ll have to master if you want to become rich with the income from your day job.
So, get disciplined with your money. Create a budget if you have to, where you only allot yourself so much money to spend every month so you don’t go overboard. Do this, and you’ll be able to not only invest 20% of your income, but likely much more.
Which leads us to the next and most important step for getting rich.
5. Invest Your Money Aggressively, But Wisely
The fastest way to get rich with your normal job is to invest your money aggressively, but wisely. Once you’ve created for yourself a nice financial security fund, have paid down your high interest debts, and reigned in your excessive spending, the world is yours for the taking.
This is the point where you really start to accelerate the growth of your wealth. Every dollar you invest (so long as you invest it wisely) will become a hard working helper for you to create even more money.
A good way to think of every dollar you invest, is to think of it as an investment into a little money miner. And each one of these little green money miners diligently works for you day and night, even while you sleep to make you more and more money. And money that makes money, that makes even more money, is known as compound interest.
The concept is so important that Albert Einstein once quipped, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it.”
So, to take full advantage of compound interest, you’ll want to invest as much as you can as often as you can.
Get Rich Investing In These
If you’re not sure where to start investing once you’ve taken care of all the other steps, here are some popular investment vehicles for you to consider. Keep in mind, each of these investment vehicles come where their own strengths, weaknesses, and varying risk thresholds. So, the amount you invest in each will be solely up to you, your financial situation, and your personal risk tolerances.
STOCKS
Investing in stocks is like purchasing a small portion of a company. The company uses your money to keep the business running and continue growing. Ultimately, stocks can make you money by both appreciating in value and/or paying you out a monthly or quarterly dividend.
And a smart way to truly accelerate the growth of those stocks, is to reinvest any dividends the stock pays out to repurchase more of your stocks. By doing this, you purchase more and more of those stocks over time, which can create a snowball effective in terms of how fast and how large your assets grow.
Also, if you’re not too keen on hand picking stocks, you can always go with stock ETFs. ETFs are exchange traded funds. In the most simplest terms, they are a collection of stocks that a active manager picks out for you, and manages over time. Small fees are usually involved, but, they are a lower hassle way to invest in stocks.
REAL ESTATE or REITS
Real Estate is another great investment. You can purchase it out right, or invest in a fund that invests in real estate for you, a.k.a. a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust).
Real Estate can make you money if you rent out the property to a tenant, and that tenant pays you above the cost to pay the mortgage on the property and maintain the asset. Real Estate can also make you money when it appreciates in value.
The same principal applies to REITS, but you are essentially pooling your money, and allowing a manager to do all the dirty work. Of course, these takes control out of your hands as well, and can impact how much you make from your real estate in the long run.
BONDS
Bonds are issued by governments and corporations when they are looking to raise money. And when you invest in a bond, you are essentially giving the issuer a loan which they are obligated to pay back.
Bonds do often pay small interest payments as well, but they’ve been know to be lower than other investment vehicles lie stocks and real estate, but also less volatile.
CRYPTO
Crypto currencies are a more recent investment phenomenon. Some investment experts loathe them, while others love them. In the most simplest terms, they are essentially a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography to secure them. This cryptography is then suppose to safeguard the digital currency from counterfeiting or double-spend.
As such, many investors buy cryptos to safeguard their wealth from devaluation, unfair meddling by rogue governments, and theft by crooks.
GOLD + SILVER
To mitigate the inherent risk of a portfolio many people invest in Gold and Silver. These assets are stores of value. Investors love these assets because they minimize the risk of one’s wealth depreciating over time.
Ultimately, Gold and Silver are excellent investment choices because their shelf-life is perpetual, and because it is more or less stable.
That said, how you diversify your investments is completely up to you. The most important thing of course, is that you just aggressively invest your money. Because the more aggressively you spread your money across these handful of investments, the richer you’ll be.
Bonus: Become More Valuable
Here’s a little bonus method that anyone can take advantage of to become richer with a normal job. This bonus tip is an accelerator.
This means it merely adds fuel to your push to get rich leveraging the suggestions laid out already. And all it requires is for you to become more valuable.
How do you become more valuable? Learn new skills or take on new responsibilities for your current employer. The best way to do this, is to upskill in some way shape or form.
To upskill, you can simply take a few courses in your spare time to learn something new that will help your employer operate more efficiently, save money, increase sales, or make more money.
Essentially, if you can help your company make more money, they’ll typically make sure you eventually make more money. So, if you want to accelerate your ability to get rich, become more valuable by upskilling. Here are a few upskilling platforms for you to consider.
Final Thoughts
Anyone can get rich, even normal people with normal jobs. But you have to first believe that you can do it, and then you have to back up that belief with disciplined action. Eventually those repetitive actions will turn into habits, and those habits into riches and wealth.
This same principle applies to just about any goal, but it’s especially true with getting rich.
“Repetition Is The Mother Of Learning, The Father Of Action, Which Makes It The Architect Of Accomplishment.”

Steven Spielberg is without question one of the most successful filmmakers of all-time. He’s directed some of the most well-known and awe-inspiring films in history, including classics like ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, ‘Jaws’, ‘Schindler’s List’, ‘E.T’, and ‘Saving Private Ryan’ just to name a few. Spielberg is a moving-making powerhouse, having directed over 34 hit films, and winning three academy awards, he’s managed to build for himself an impressive and sizeable fortune.

As such, Steven’s Spielberg’s net worth in 2025 is estimated at approximately $7 billion.
How Much Does Steven Spielberg Make?
Having netted $360 million from Jurassic Park, which grossed $1.03 billion, we can estimate his cut from movies to be at around 35%. Of course this is just an estimate, but if it’s accurate, it mean’s Spielberg has earned at least $3.7 billion from his movies over the past 51 years.

So, here is our own baseline income for Steven Spielberg based on the earning power of his net worth alone. To get this number, Spielberg would first need to move all of $7 billion net worth into an income generating asset (like REITS or Dividend Stocks). Then we must infer that Spielberg is a savvy enough investor to earn at least a 4% dividend payout on his fortune, which is doable considering 3 to 5% is the historical average payout for conservative assets.

Thus, Steven Spielberg’s baseline annual income would easily translate into $280 million per year. Not bad for never having to lift a finger again to earn himself a buck.

WILL SMITH’S NET WORTH AND HOW HE GOT SO RICH
Will Smith hardly needs an introduction, considering he is a world-renowned actor, producer, rapper, and songwriter, who has received dozens of awards and nominations for bringing us blockbuster hits like ‘I am Legend’, ‘Ali’, ‘Men in Black’, and ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’, amongst many others. Without a doubt, he is no stranger to success or the press. Will Smith has truly made an indelible mark in the entertainment industry. But, with such productivity and blockbuster success, comes wealth. And that’s what this article is all about, Will Smith’s Net Worth, and some of the financial wins he’s had along the way that have helped him secure so much money.
What is Will Smith’s Net Worth?
So what is Will Smith’s net worth? Well, according to various net worth sources on the net, his net worth is approximately $350 million. However, those figures are outdated as they’ve haven’t changed since 2020. Of course assets don’t remain stagnant, so we’ve recalculated Will smith’s net worth.
As such, per our research and analysis, along with our asset recalculation methodology, Will Smith’s Net Worth as of 2025 is now estimated at $390 million.[1] It is estimated that $100 million of his net worth is tied up in the Real Estate he owns around the world.
So, he’s not a billionaire yet, but, with the right investments and a handful of additional projects on the silver screen he may just get there within the next decade or so.
How Much Does Will Smith Make?
According to Forbes [2], despite the pandemic in 2020-2021, Will Smith managed to earn $44.5 million. Of course, this is only an estimate, but he likely earned a similar amount in 2023.
That said, Will Smith’s 2025 earnings are still ongoing, especially considering he is constantly creating project after project. But, 2025 is looking like a pretty big year for Smith, with the release of his updated Bad Boys movie, ‘Bad Boys – Ride or Die’, which grossed over $400 million at the box office across the globe.
However, even without these figures, we still plan on providing you with how much money, hypothetically speaking, Will Smith makes a year from his net worth alone.
These money metrics will be based off Will Smith’s known net worth of $390 million. So, if you’ve ever wondered how much Will Smith makes per day, month, or even a year, this metric we are providing below will give you a conservative (and very possible) estimate.
To get to this number, we will have to presume Will Smith’s investing acumen is on par with an average investor. In other words, capable enough to earn an annual 4% yield on his combined $390 million fortune (Note: 4% is an extremely reasonable return to expect, especially considering historical returns on safe investments have typically fallen between the 3% to 5% range [3]).
With that said here is what we came up with. I Will Smith hypothetically liquidated all of his assets and invested them into a handful of stocks or REITS that yielded at the very least a conservative 4% dividend yield, he could easily be earning himself a cool $15.6 million a year to do absolutely nothing.
Will Smith’s Money Metrics
Money Metric | Amount |
---|---|
Net Worth: | $390,000,000 |
**Earnings Per Year: | $15,600,000 |
Per Month: | $1,300,000 |
Per Week: | $ 300,000 |
Per Day: | $42,857 |
Per Hour: | $1,785 |
Per Min: | $29.7 |
Per Sec: | $.49 |
Note: this is a hypothetical (but very possible) earnings Metric based off the earning power of Will Smith’s net worth’s alone. It does not include how much he potentially earns from his current projects, sponsorships, business revenue, or social media, etc. Again, this calculation is for entertainment purposes only.

From sleeping in their cars to building billion-dollar empires, self-made millionaires like John Paul DeJoria and Oprah Winfrey prove that wealth isn’t just about luck—it’s about habits. These individuals didn’t inherit their fortunes; they built them through discipline, strategy, and a relentless drive to succeed. At The STRIVE, we’re dedicated to helping dreamers like you turn ambition into action.
That’s why we’ve compiled this list of 10 proven habits of self-made millionaires to help you build wealth in 2025 and beyond. Whether you’re starting from scratch or aiming to level up, these habits are practical, time-tested, and accessible to anyone willing to put in the work. Ready to ignite your financial success? Let’s dive into the millionaire mindset and uncover the habits that can transform your future.
1. Set Clear, Daily Goals
Self-made millionaires don’t wander aimlessly—they plan their success. Elon Musk, for instance, is known for breaking down massive goals (like colonizing Mars) into daily tasks. This habit keeps them focused and productive.
How to Apply It: Start each day by writing down 3–5 specific, actionable goals. Use tools like The STRIVE Journal to track progress and stay accountable. For example, set a goal to save $100 this week or read one chapter of a finance book. Over time, these small wins compound into massive results.
Why It Works: Daily goals create clarity and momentum, aligning your actions with your long-term vision of financial freedom.
2. Commit to Continuous Learning
Warren Buffett, one of the world’s richest self-made billionaires, spends hours daily reading—up to 500 pages! Millionaires know that knowledge is power, especially in a fast-changing world like 2025’s economy.
How to Apply It: Dedicate 30–60 minutes daily to learning. Read books like Rich Dad Poor Dad (a favorite on The STRIVE’s book recommendation list), listen to podcasts like The Millionaire Mindset, or take online courses on platforms like Coursera. Stay updated on market trends, investments, or skills relevant to your industry.
Here’s Why It Works: Continuous learning sharpens your skills and uncovers new opportunities, giving you an edge in wealth-building.
3. Network Strategically
Daymond John, the Shark Tank star and FUBU founder, credits his success to building relationships with the right people. Millionaires don’t just network—they connect with mentors, peers, and influencers who push them forward.
How to Apply It: Attend industry events, join online communities (like LinkedIn groups), or reach out to someone you admire with a thoughtful message. For inspiration, read about John Paul DeJoria’s journey on The STRIVE—he built his empire through strategic partnerships.
Why It Works: A strong network opens doors to opportunities, from business deals to mentorship, that accelerate wealth creation.
4. Invest Early and Consistently
Self-made millionaires like Barbara Corcoran built wealth by investing early, even with small amounts. Whether it’s real estate, stocks, or their own businesses, they let compound interest work its magic.
How to Apply It: Start investing now, no matter how small. Open a low-cost brokerage account, contribute to a 401(k), or explore real estate crowdfunding. Aim to invest at least 10–15% of your income consistently. Check out our personal finance tips for budgeting strategies to free up cash for investments.
Here’s Why It Works: Early investments grow exponentially over time, turning modest savings into substantial wealth.
5. Embrace Failure
Steve Harvey, whose success story we’ve covered at The STRIVE, faced countless rejections before becoming a household name. Millionaires view failure as feedback, not a dead end.
How to Apply It: Reframe setbacks as learning opportunities. If a business idea flops, analyze what went wrong and adjust. Keep a “failure journal” to document lessons learned and how you’ll improve. This mindset builds resilience, a key trait for financial success.
Why It Works: Embracing failure fuels persistence, helping you overcome obstacles on the path to wealth.

6. Master Time Management
Time is a millionaire’s most valuable asset. People like Jeff Bezos prioritize high-impact tasks and eliminate distractions to maximize productivity.
How to Apply It: Use the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle) to focus on the 20% of tasks that drive 80% of your results. Try time-blocking: allocate specific hours for work, learning, and personal growth. Apps like Notion or Trello can help you stay organized.
Reasoning: Effective time management ensures you’re working smarter, not just harder, to achieve your financial goals.
7. Cultivate Discipline
Discipline separates dreamers from doers. Self-made millionaires like Oprah Winfrey stick to routines, even when motivation fades. Whether it’s waking up early or sticking to a budget, discipline drives results.
How to Apply It: Create a daily routine that aligns with your goals. For example, wake up at 6 AM to exercise, plan your day, and review your finances. Use our motivational quotes for a daily dose of inspiration to stay on track.
Why It Works: Discipline builds consistency, turning habits into long-term wealth-building behaviors.
8. Diversify Income Streams
Millionaires rarely rely on a single income source. Kevin O’Leary, for example, invests in businesses, real estate, and media ventures to spread risk and grow wealth.
How to Apply It: Explore side hustles like freelancing, e-commerce, or content creation. If you’re new to this, start small—sell a skill on Upwork or launch a blog inspired by The STRIVE’s entrepreneurship tips. Reinvest profits into new ventures.
Why It Works: Multiple income streams provide financial security and accelerate wealth accumulation.
9. Practice Mindfulness and Mental Health
Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post, emphasizes mindfulness as a key to success. Millionaires prioritize mental clarity to make sound decisions and stay focused.
How to Apply It: Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation or journaling into your routine. Apps like Headspace or a simple gratitude journal can reduce stress and boost focus. Reflect on your “why” to stay motivated, as we discuss in our personal growth articles.
Reasoning: A clear mind enhances decision-making, helping you navigate financial challenges with confidence.
10. Give Back to Build Forward
Self-made millionaires like Andrew Carnegie, whose quotes inspire us at The STRIVE, believed in giving back. Philanthropy not only creates impact but also builds networks and personal fulfillment.
How to Apply It: Donate time, skills, or money to causes you care about. Volunteer at a local nonprofit or mentor someone starting their journey. Even small acts, like sharing knowledge, can create ripple effects.
Why It Works: Giving back fosters goodwill, strengthens your reputation, and attracts opportunities that align with your values.
Your Roadmap to Wealth in 2025
Building wealth isn’t about overnight success—it’s about adopting the habits of those who’ve already made it. From setting daily goals to giving back, these 10 habits of self-made millionaires are your blueprint for financial success in 2025.

Khabib Nurmagomedov has an estimated net worth of $45 million. Which is an impressive amount of money, even for a world renowned Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter.
Of course, some may argue that because Khabib is currently the longest-reigning UFC Lightweight Champion, who has legions of UFC fans who believe is the greatest fighter in UFC history, that his fortunes should be even larger. Many sources also have him listed as the best pound-per-pound fighter across all weight classes. And with achievements like this, riches and a large net worth are well deserved.
What is Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth?
So, if you’re looking for even more insight on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth, you’ll find it here. That said, there other some unofficial sources that claim Nurmagomedov’s net worth to be around $100 million. And then there’s a few $40 million estimates by a handful of solid sources, including one that Celebrity Net Worth placed on his net worth back in late 2020.[1]
However, it’s important to know that we calculated the data drawn from various public sources in conjunction with the performance of the markets and the various known asset classes he’s invested in. So, our research and analysis is up-to-date. Which is why we’ve listed Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Net Worth as of 2024 at roughly $45 million.
How Much Does Khabib Nurmagomedov Make?
Most people want to know what Khabib is doing these days to make money, and how much he makes a year. So, we’ll attempt to answer the question.
That said, establishing Nurmagomedov’s 2024 earnings is even more challenging then establishing his net worth, especially since he retired in 2020. However, for the year of 2020 he was the highest paid UFC fighter, bringing in $6.09 million.[2] This amount doesn’t include money he earned from sponsorships, speaking gigs, or his other business dealings.
With that said, just because we can’t decipher how much Khabib Nurmagomedov officially makes these days, doesn’t mean we can’t estimate how much could likely make if he relied on the earning power of his net worth alone.
So, here’s how much he could make if he decided to pay himself from the earning power of his entire net worth. Assuming Nurmagomedov decided to take his entire $45 million nest egg and invest it into a handful of investments yielding a combined 4.5% dividend payout (between 3 -5 % is consider to be average yield on stable investments), his annual earnings could be $2.02 million. This comes out to around $169,000 a month, which is not a bad income for early retirement.

In fact, her work ethic and commitment to her craft has catapulted her to being regarded as the most influential Latin performer in America. As a global icon with dozens of accolades under her belt, she’s also managed to build a sizeable and impressive net worth over the years.
So, that’s exactly what this page will be highlighting, Jennifer Lopez’s net worth and her current earning power potential. And just for good measure, we’ll also include a few additional fun facts related to her success and impressive achievements. So, let’s dive in.
What Is Jennifer Lopez’s Net Worth
Jennifer’s disciplined approach to business, and her consistent ability to produce relevant and highly entertaining art has made her one of the wealthiest self-made women in the world.
As of 2025, her efforts have helped her amass an estimated net worth of over $400 million.[1] With the many films, music productions, shows, endorsements, and business ventures, it’s not difficult to see why she’s worth so much.
How Much Does J.LO make per year?
If you’re wonder how much Jennifer Lopez makes per year, some sources have also estimated her annual earnings to be around $40 million, and as long as Jennifer continues on with her businesses and entertainment, she’ll likely to continue to make this much and more.
However, considering Jennifer’s business and projects change year to year, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact annual income for the pop-icon. Even though we can’t provide you with a rock-solid salary for J.LO we still plan on providing you with her hypothetical annual income. We’ll call it, her money metrics.
These money metrics are based off Jennifer’s known net worth of $400 million alone. So, if you’ve ever wondered how much Jennifer Lopez makes per day, per month, or even a year, our metric below will give you a rough estimate of her minimum take-home pay.
To produce these figures, we have to assume Jennifer is a savvy enough investor to earn an annual 4% yield on her combined $400 million net worth ( FYI, 4% is a reasonable return to expect, especially considering historical returns on safe investments tend to fall between the 3% to 5% range [2]). So, if Jennifer decided to retire early and she hypothetically liquidated all of her assets and invested them into a handful of stocks or REITS that guarantee her a modest 4% dividend yield, J.LO could easily be earning $16 million every single year.

Kevin Hart is no stranger to success. As a highly accomplished comedian, actor, and producer, he’s become a household name and one of the most recognized and loved personalities in the world of entertainment. And as you’d expect with winning countless entertainment awards, starting his own streaming service, production media business, and putting on multi-million dollar tours, he’s built himself a sizeable fortune.
So, that’s exactly what this page will be highlighting, Kevin Hart’s net worth and his current earning power. We’ll also include a few Kevin Hart fun facts related to his life, success and potential. So, let’s dive in.
KEVIN HART NET WORTH
So, what is the net worth of Kevin Hart? As of 2025, Hart is worth approximately $470 million. However as his popularity rises, and as he continues to flex his business muscles, like his founding of Hartbeat media (currently valued at $650 million), his fortune will only continue to grow.
In fact, we predict Kevin Hart will be a billionaire in just a few short years, especially considering how fast his net worth has grown since 2010; having gone from a net worth of roughly $9 million to $470 million in just 13 short years.[1]
Just in case you were wondering, this comes out to a whopping 5,122% growth rate over the past 13 years. To put it another way, this comes out to a growth rate of roughly 35.5% year over year. Anyway you slice it, it’s extremely impressive!
How Much Does Kevin Hart Make a Year?
With a growth rate like this, you probably want to know what Kevin Hart’s salary is, or how much he makes per year. Well, on average, Hart makes between $50 to $70 million per year in income. This is a conservative estimate based on Hart’s history of having some years that brought in $87.5 million, and some years that brought in $65 million.
So, our cautious estimate of how much Kevin Hart makes is around the $60 million per year mark. Having said that, here’s how much Kevin Hart could make if he decided to hang up his hat and retire today.
To get this estimate, we must assume he’ll take his entire $470 million net worth, liquidate it, and then invest that money in an asset that pays out on average 4% annually. Why 4%? Because 3% to 5% is what average returns on safe investments have been historically.[2]
That said, Kevin Hart could easily make $18.8 million per year starting today, if he cashed it all out and retired. This also comes out to around $1.57 million per month. That’s not bad for an early retirement plan!

JESSICA ALBA’S NET WORTH AND HOW MUCH IT’S CHANGED OVER TIME
Jessica Alba is both a famed actress and a highly successful businesswoman who has managed to dominate both fields. She began acting at an early age, and produced enough of a fortune in Hollywood by the age of 31, that she took the leap to co-found a billion-dollar empire. Since launching her household products company Honest Co. her success has continued to compound, leaving her with an enormous net worth.
So, that’s what we’ll be highlighting on this page, Jessica Alba’s net worth, her current earning power, and how much her fortune has fluctuated over the years. So, if you’re ready to talk numbers, let’s dive in:
What Is Jessica Alba’s Net Worth?
Jessica Alba’s net worth has shifted around over the years, as a large portion of her net worth is tied to her stake in the Honest Co. In early 2021, her net worth was estimated around $340 million per Forbes.[1] But that was when her company was valued at $1.7 billion.
However, now that the Honest Co. has a market cap of around $154 million, with shares of the company being down between the $1 to $3 dollar range, Jessica Alba’s net worth dropped dramatically, especially in 2023.
Here fortune got as low as 100 million, however, with the markets surging over the past few years, her net worth has grown as well. As such, Jessica Alba’s net worth as of 2025 is approximately $120 million.
Alba was on track to becoming a billionaire, but if the value of the Honest Company doesn’t change course, it make take her a little longer than expected.
How Much Does Jessica Alba Make a Year?
Jessica Alba does take a salary from her company which is around $700,000, plus a $500,000 bonus, and a $1.5 million in annual restricted stock units, which comes out to approximately $2.7 million. Yet, the total amount she pulled in recent years was approximated to $9 million if you include the bonus’s and stock awards she was paid out on.[2]
However, when you take in to account how much she earns from her side projects and current Hollywood products, the figure is more difficult to pinpoint, but likely much higher than her 2021 income, but less than the 2022 and 2023 figures some have estimated.
That said, we can still give you a conservative estimate on how much Jessica Alba makes a year in 2025 based off her net worth alone.
These money metrics will be based off her known approximated net worth of $120 million alone. So, if you’ve ever wondered how much Jessica Alba makes per day, month, or even a year, our metric below will give you a rough estimate.

Therefore, if Alba hypothetically liquidated all of her assets and reinvested them into a handful of stocks, ETFs, or REITs with a modest 4% dividend pay out, Jessica Alba could easily be making $4.8 million per year without lifting a finger.
