Jessica Alba

Actress turned entrepreneur Jessica Alba's net worth got a boost in August 2015 when the Honest Co., the nontoxic-household-goods startup she cofounded in 2011, raised $100 million at a $1.7 billion valuation. After the firm went public in 2021 Alba's stake in The Honest Company was valued at nearly $130 million. She owns more than 5.6 million shares of the company. The business began largely as an e-commerce subscription service for diapers and baby wipes but now sells some 100 items. Not everyone is a fan: There were complaints that Honest's sunscreen didn't work and that its detergent wasn't quite as chemical-free as advertised. She has defended the products vigorously and keeps adding categories: Last fall she launched Honest Beauty, an 80-piece makeup and skin care line with a transparent ingredient list.
