Catherine Zeta-Jones attained instant living-legend status by playing Velma in Chicago, and now she's back in the spotlight as the iconic Morticia Addams in Netflix's Wednesday. And in case you're wondering how much money she has in the bank, the answer would be...MORE THAN ANY OF US ARE PREPARED FOR. 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 her net worth!

Catherine Made a LOT of Money in the Early Aughts
Catherine'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.
So How Much Did She Get for Wednesday?
Netflix hasn't released that info, but we can kinda 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 Catherine'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. Like, Winona Ryder's salary increased to a whopping $350,000 per episode once Stranger Things became one of Netflix's most profitable shows, just saying.
She Was Earning Millions From Endorsements Way Before Insta
Catherine 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, 'Kay?
If you're not shopping for home decor at Casa Zeta-Jones, I'm truly not sure you're living.
Anyway, unclear how successful this business is but it's sold at QVC, so I can only assume assume my mother is giving it a LOT of support.
She Has Millions Tied Up in Real Estate
Truly don't even know where to begin with all these properties. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Catherine and her husband Michael 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, Catherine and Michael 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: Catherine has a total net worth of $150 million, but according to Celebrity Net Worth at least half of this is thanks to assets she shares with Michael Douglas (think homes, properties, investments, etc). Together, the couple has a combined net worth of $350 million.
Now excuse me, I need to take some time to write a strongly worded email to my parents asking why they never encouraged me to go into acting.
