What is Cameron Diaz's net worth and salary?

Cameron Diaz is a California-born model and actress who has a net worth of $140 million. Cameron Diaz became an international star in 1994 after appearing alongside Jim Carrey in "The Mask." She has maintained an A-list presence ever since, appearing in dozens of movies and earning hundreds of millions of dollars from acting salaries alone. With total box office ticket sales north of $7 billion, Cameron is currently the fifth highest-grossing U.S. actress. She took a break from acting between 2014 and 2024.

After getting her start as a model appearing in ads forCalvin Kleinand Levi's and on the cover of Seventeen Magazine, among other publications, she shifted her focus to acting. After a brief tiptoe into the world of the soft-core porn industry, she auditioned for a role in a comedy opposite an up-and-coming actor named Jim Carrey. The movie in which she was eventually cast, "The Mask," went on to become one of the highest-grossing feature projects of that year, and she was on her way. The next few years were spent honing her craft through acting lessons and appearances in smaller, independent projects. Her strategy paid off, and when she returned to appearing in mainstream projects, she was a better actress and a bigger box office draw.  Since then, she has appeared in such projects as "Feeling Minnesota," "My Best Friend's Wedding," "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," "There's Something About Mary," "BeingJohn Malkovich," "Charlie's Angels" franchise, "Vanilla Sky," "Gangs of New York," "My Sister's Keeper," "Bad Teacher," and "What to Expect When You're Expecting," among many other films.
