Jessica Simpson’s Net Worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jessica Simpson’s net worth is $200 million. This is largely due to the phenomenal success of her retail products, which include purses, shoes, lingerie, and perfume. These items have sold millions of copies since their inception.
Who is Jessica Simpson?
American multi-talented entertainer Jessica Ann Simpson came into this world on July 10, 1980. She has forged a reputation as a successful singer, actress, and entrepreneur. She started singing in church choirs when she was quite young, which was the beginning of her career in show business.
When Simpson signed with Columbia Records in 1997, she was just seventeen years old. That was the beginning of her musical career. With two million copies sold in the US alone, her 1999 debut studio album “Sweet Kisses” was a huge success. Among the album’s singles, “I Wanna Love You Forever” helped propel her to stardom.
“Irresistible” (2001), Simpson’s second studio album, showcased a more mature side of her personality and had her second single to reach the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was a catalyst for her image evolution. The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) awarded the song a gold record.
Career Beginnings
Selected as a semi-finalist for “The Mickey Mouse Club” at her audition when she was twelve years old, she was not chosen in the end. The head of the Christian music label Proclaim Records noticed her after she resumed singing in church and signed her. Although her debut album “Jessica” was never published due to the company’s bankruptcy, a limited edition was made possible by her grandma. After sending her song “Jessica” to various labels and producers, Simpson gained the attention of Tommy Mottola, head of Columbia Records, and signed a record deal with the label.
Music Profession
To counter the negative connotations associated with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, Mottolla insisted that Simpson prioritize an innocent, “anti-sex appeal” persona. The RIAA granted her a platinum certification for her 1999 debut single “I Wanna Love You Forever” after it achieved good sales and peaked at #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her self-titled debut album “Sweet Kisses” was certified double platinum by the RIAA upon its November 1999 release. “Irresistible” (2001), her second studio album, did not do as well.
Simpson co-starred with Nick Lachey in the smash reality show “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica,” which aired on MTV after the couple’s October 2002 wedding. Released the same day as the show’s premiere, “In This Skin” is Simpson’s third studio album, which the show promoted. In 2004, after re-releasing “In This Skin” with improved results—selling over 4 million copies in the US—Simpson produced new songs in response to dismal sales.
Simpson signed with Epic Records after leaving Columbia Records in March 2006. Released in 2006, her fifth studio album “A Public Affair” peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 upon its launch. “Do You Know” (2008), Simpson’s sixth studio album, was an unsuccessful foray into country music. With “Happy Christmas” (2010) and “ReJoyce: The Christmas Album” (2004), Simpson also has two Christmas albums.
Hollywood Aims and Aspirations
As a reality TV star in 2004, Simpson was a guest on both her sister’s show “The Ashlee Simpson Show” and her show “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica,” which she co-hosted with Nick Lachey. “The Dukes of Hazzard”(2005), her first feature film, was critically panned yet earned over $111 million globally. “Employee of the Month” (2006), her second feature picture, bombed economically. “Private Valentine: Blonde and Dangerous” (2008) and “Blonde Ambition” (2007) are among her other cinematic credits. Simpson also served as a coach on “Fashion Star” (2012–2013) and moderated the VH1 documentary “The Price of Beauty” (2010). Her acting credits include a 2014 “Funny or Die Presents” episode in which she played Daisy Duke again, a 2018 “Ashlee + Evan” cameo, and a 2022 “Duncanville” episode in which she provided her voice.
Ventures in Entrepreneurship
In her spare time, Jessica has achieved phenomenal success as an entrepreneur. Her beauty brand includes accessories including handbags, lingerie, shoes, and boots; it is mostly offered on the Home Shopping Network. In 2004, Simpson co-founded the edible cosmetics line Jessica Simpson Desserts by Jessica Simpson with Randi Shinder. In early 2005, she launched a younger-targeted line called Dessert Treats. After multiple lawsuits, both lines were terminated.
In 2012, when Simpson announced her pregnancy in 2011, she inked a multimillion-dollar deal with Weight Watchers to use their diet plan to lose the weight she gained during her pregnancy. She also starred in multiple ads for the brand. In 2012, she debuted a range of maternity clothes and a fragrance called “Vintage Bloom” that was influenced by parenthood. The New York Times Best Seller List was topped by her memoir “Open Book” upon its release in February 2020.
Real Estate
In 2013, Simpson paid $11.5 million to purchase a massive Hidden Hills, California property from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne; it is now her principal residence. In 2007, the Osbournes paid a relatively low price of $12.5 million for the mansion. This 2.5-acre property has six bedrooms, a basketball court, a playground, and a big pool; Simpson and her husband have renovated it extensively over the years. According to previous purchases in the area, this property is now worth between $15 million and $20 million. Simpson had a home in Beverly Hills that she purchased in 2005 for $5.265 million before she acquired it in Hidden Hills. In October 2013, she received $6.4 million for the sale of this house.
House of Jessica Simpson
For $14 million, Jessica Simpson purchased a lavish mansion with 11,900 square feet. After that, Jessica Simpson spent an extra $2 million and hired an architectural design firm to refurbish and enlarge the house. Jessica Simpson’s imported German oak flooring covers the expansive great room of her luxurious house, which features separate spaces for dining, cooking, and relaxation. At one end of the space, a fireplace provides warmth.
A library room with a fireplace in the corner is also included in Jessica Simpson’s property. The house was furnished and decorated in a minimalistic style that Jessica Simpson preferred. The main bedroom has walls of glass that lead straight to the backyard.
