Renee Zellweger returns to the silver screen this month with the latest installment in the Bridget Jones's Diary series. In the latest film, Bridget (Zellweger) is still mourning the loss of her husband Mark (Colin Firth) and finds her new normal after a romantic entanglement with a young man named Roxster (played by The White Lotus and One Day breakout Leo Woodall).
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is Zellweger's first film since her 2019 Academy Award-winning turn as Judy Garland in Judy. Zellweger took a six-year break from Hollywood starting in 2010 that lasted through 2016, returning to make Bridget Jones's Baby, but she remains one of the highest paid actresses in Tinseltown. Her net worth is certainly nothing to scoff at. According to CBS News, she still makes between $10-15 million per movie, which is enough to lure anyone out of retirement.

But how much is the Jerry Maguire actress worth overall? Here's what we know about what Renee Zellweger is taking to the bank in 2025.
Renee Zellweger is currently worth $90 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That number is comprised of her known film salaries and her real-estate holdings. How much did Renee Zellweger make for Bridget Jones's Diary?
Zellweger became an A-list actress by appearing in Jerry Maguire in 1996, but it was the Bridget Jones franchise that made her an icon. Celebrity Net Worth reports that Zellweger made $3.75 million to appear in the first film in 2001. That salary tripled to $11 million for the sequel, Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason, in 2004. It's speculated that she made $15 million or more for the third and fourth films. Zellweger has acted in very few projects since 2010, so if she's making a movie, it's for the big bucks.
The Bridget Jones salary jump was helped by Zellweger's Academy Award-nominated turn in Chicago in 2002. She reportedly made $10 million for the musical.

Cold Mountain?
Zellweger reportedly first crossed the $15 million threshold with 2003's Cold Mountain, for which she also earned her first Oscar. The period drama was a massive awards play with a sizable budget and directly followed her smash hit Chicago.
It's unknown how much money Zellweger made for Jerry Maguire, but it was likely far less than she made for subsequent films. Jerry Maguire was Zellweger's breakout hit, meaning she couldn't negotiate massive paydays before that performance. The movie's budget was reportedly around $50 million and with both Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. eating up a sizable portion of that, Zellweger likely only earned a million or two.
Chicago is Zellweger's highest-grossing movie. The Rob Marshall musical made $307 million domestically, according to IMDb. It's followed by Bridget Jones's Diary ($282 million), Jerry Maguire ($274 million), Bridget Jones's Baby ($212 million), and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason ($211 million).
