- Producing: Fees and equity through Excellent Cadaver (Causeway, No Hard Feelings, Die My Love); deal values undisclosed.

- Mes haircare: Launched 27 October 2026 with scientist Jasmina Aganovic; no valuation, revenue or ownership share has been published, so nothing is counted for it here.

How the estimate is made — and its limits
There is no audited Jennifer Lawrence fortune. Forbes has never published a net worth for her; its verified figures are annual earnings lists, not wealth totals — $34 million in 2014, $52 million in 2015, $46 million in 2016, $24 million in 2017 and $18 million in 2018, all pre-tax and before agents, managers and lawyers (Business Standard / IANS, on Forbes 2015). Celebrity Net Worth, the most-cited aggregator, put her at $160 million from February 2023 and raised its figure to $180 million in its September 2026 update without itemising the rise (Celebrity Net Worth; FanBolt). Many secondary pages still quote the older $160 million figure, so this article gives the honest range of $160–$180 million rather than pretending to a precision no source supports.
Two cautions apply to the salary figures. First, studios rarely confirm pay, so the per-film numbers are trade reports, and the Mockingjay split is genuinely disputed: outlets variously report about $20 million each, $15 million for Part 1 with $30–$40 million including bonuses for Part 2, or $40 million combined. Second, gross pay is not net wealth — Forbes’ roughly $100 million across 2015–2016 alone was pre-tax, and the Dior deal’s often-quoted $15–$20 million covered a multi-year extension, not a single year. Claims of a $50 million-plus lifetime Dior total are single-outlet and unverified, and are not used here.
Property portfolio
Lawrence’s most visible asset is her West Village townhouse in New York, bought for about $21.9 million in July 2020 — a four-bedroom duplex of more than 4,500 square feet with a private garden — where she lives with her husband, art gallery director Cooke Maroney. Her earlier moves show mixed results: an Upper East Side penthouse bought for $15.6 million in 2016 sold for about $9.9 million in 2020, and a Tribeca apartment bought for about $9 million in 2017 sold for about $9.8 million in early 2023. The Beverly Hills house she bought for $8.225 million in 2014 sold for about $11 million in September 2025, a profitable exit after a decade.
