As an actor and a producer, Jennifer Aniston keeps a foot in two worlds. So it’s fitting that when she enters a room in her Los Angeles home, she sits down on the rug in a split, her legs nearly 180 degrees to the left and right. If metaphors did Pilates, they’d look like this. It’s a casually confident entrance that can only be pulled off by someone who has walked the earth as a celebrity far longer than she has as a civilian. Jennifer Aniston Net Worth
But there’s business just under that breezy introduction. While contemporaries like Reese Witherspoon are known for leading entertainment empires, Aniston—who reportedly has a net worth of $320 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth—is more of a stealth mogul, a veteran who launched a production company before actress-producers were everywhere in Hollywood but who, until recently, never threw herself into that dual role in such a visible way. Now she’s poised to amp up her production company with new projects, exerting more hands-on involvement in her work than at any prior point in her career.
Here are a few things Jennifer Aniston revealed to WSJ. Magazine…
Aniston on her approach:
“There was a time in my world, my career, where I realized it’s not being aggressive or combative or bitchy or emotional to stand up for what you deserve and what you want. It’s a tough muscle to build. And also be loved and respected. It’s hard to achieve.”

“This is very big-girl,” she says. “The other projects we’ve done have been a movie here and there. So this is the first real big show that was sold to Apple…. And we kind of felt like we were all partnering up together and launching this new maiden voyage together.”
Aniston on her “chick club” behind the camera:
“Being that we’re female, there’s a level of understanding, compassion, and consideration that I think doesn’t always exist amongst the dudes.”
Aniston on her business ethos:
“I’m a businesswoman who’s got a crunchy side,” she says with a shrug, explaining why she brought up subjects like her psychics and the time one of them predicted she would meet Pitt—not him specifically, but a description that fit him. “It was one of our big rules up front,” she says of ‘The Morning Show.’ “No assholes.”
“Make sure you’re getting in bed with people you’re going to be happy to wake up with in the morning,” she says of vetting business partners.
Aniston on who she’s currently sleeping with:
“My dog,” she says. “That’s who I’m sleeping with.”
Aniston on the formative experience of ‘Friends’:
Friends continues to loom large for the actress, who still wears Rachel’s red loafers and a floral dress belonging to Monica, her show friend played by her real friend Courteney Cox. She hangs onto not just the sentimental leftovers of the show that ran from 1994 to 2004, but the business acumen that came from it.
“It taught us everything,” she says. Jennifer Aniston Net Worth
Aniston on learning from sticking together during ‘Friends’ negotiation:
“It would’ve destroyed us, I think, if someone was soaring financially,” says Aniston.
Aniston on the gender dynamics at play in the industry – even at her first production company, Plan B:
“Talk about a male-female situation,” Aniston says of her and Hahn’s reception. “It was a male-dominated sort of environment, and it was like, ‘Oh, aren’t you two cute?’ ”
Aniston on cancel culture:
“I’m so over cancel culture,” she says. “I probably just got canceled by saying that. I just don’t understand what it means… Is there no redemption? I don’t know. I don’t put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein basket.”
Aniston on Harvey Weinstein:
“He’s not a guy, you’re like, ‘God, I can’t wait to hang out with Harvey.’ Never. You were actually like, ‘Oh, God, OK, suck it up.’ I remember actually, he came to visit me on a movie to pitch me a movie. And I do remember consciously having a person stay in my trailer.” Weinstein says that “she never had any uncomfortable instances with me.”
Aniston on relationships:
“It’s just about not being afraid to say what you need and what you want. And it’s still a challenge for me in a relationship. I’m really good at every other job I have, and that’s sort of the one area that’s a little….”
Aniston on beauty:
When it comes to looking young, she says she’ll try almost anything once. Recently, an aesthetician suggested a salmon-sperm facial. “First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?’ ”
She doesn’t know if it did anything. She also swears by weekly peptide injections that purport to battle the effects of aging. “I do think that’s the future,” she says.
Aniston on the death of her father, actor John Aniston:
“I feel closer to him now than I did almost when he was alive. I feel like he’s everywhere. I really do.” Jennifer Aniston Net Worth
Aniston on her career:
“I feel like I am a self-made woman,” she says, “and I’m really proud of that.”
