In addition to being an A-list actor, Jodie has notably also taken on the roles of director and producer for projects such as Little Man Tate.
Her massive net worth is the result of a long tenure in a very tough town, especially for women over 50, with earnings as high as $15 million for a single film at the height of her acting career.
Jodie Foster's best years may be ahead of her.
Despite enjoying one of the most celebrated careers in recent memory, Jodie is far from done wowing audiences with her incredible talent.
In late 2023, the former child star was nominated for an Academy Award for her supporting role as Bonnie Stoll in Nyad.
According to the Los Angeles Times, a win for the acclaimed star would put her in extremely good company. Only eight other actors have received three or more Oscars for acting: Ingrid Bergman, Walter Brennan, Daniel-Day Lewis, Frances McDormand, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, and Katharine Hepburn.
But Jodie has gotten to a point in her career where she doesn't necessarily need to work all the time, which points to how financially comfortable she is.
"Sometimes I go through years where I just don't wanna act for a while, or I don't find anything. I'll read a perfectly good script about a perfectly good thing that I should be interested in, and I just don't care," she has said.
