It’s a no-brainer why Jennifer Garner is America’s sweetheart — she is an excellent actress, a doting mom and loves to show her silly side on Instagram, but her net worth is the cherry on top of it all. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jennifer is worth a whopping $80 million. Meanwhile, Jen’s ex-husband Ben Affleck makes a little bit more as he is worth $150 million. Even though the Hollywood A-listers are no longer together, it’s safe to say they are not hurting in the money department.
