Gwyneth Paltrow: Net Worth, Age, Height & Everything You Need To Know About The Actress/Businesswoman

One of the biggest stars of the late 1990s and 2000s, Gwyneth Paltrow has amassed a tremendous net worth over the years. Paltrow's first leading role in 1996’s Emma lifted Paltrow up to new heights of fame, and eventually, she would go on to win a Best Actress Oscar for the film Shakespeare In Love (1998). After a period of appearing in movies of less favorable repute, Paltrow regained a following when she starred as Pepper Potts in the highly-acclaimed Iron Man (2008) alongside Robert Downey, Jr. She reprised the role in several MCU movies.

Over the last decade or so, Paltrow has taken a step back from acting, only taking on occasional roles, such as in the 2015 movie Mordecai and the Netflix series The Politician. Her focus has shifted to her family, including her children with ex-husband Chris Martin, Apple and Moses, and husband Brad Falchuk. Paltrow has driven her energies to her new age wellness company, Goop. Despite some of the controversial lifestyle methods that the company has promoted, Goop continues to be a money-maker for Paltrow.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Net Worth

The Goop Founder Is Worth $200 Million

As of October 2024, Gwyneth Paltrow’s net worth is a whopping $200 million (via Celebrity Net Worth). Her leading lady appeal at the box office certainly helped her to accumulate much of her earnings, and she raked in a reported $750,000 for Shakespeare in Love and $10 million for 2003's View from the Top. Though her Pepper Potts salary is unknown, being a part of the MCU was likely her most lucrative cash cow, with the film franchise’s earnings being $1.26 billion for Iron Man 3 and $1.52 billion for The Avengers.

Paltrow founded the wellness and lifestyle company Goop in 2008, and has received a lot of backlash from scientists and medical experts for the company’s unusual methods, calling the expensive products “snake oil” based on pseudoscience (via MedPage Today). Regardless, Goop has been a profitable venture for Paltrow, whose stake in the company is worth $75 million before taxes.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Age & Height

Paltrow Is A Libra

Gwyneth Paltrow’s stands at a statuesque height of 5’9". Her birthday is September 27, 1972, making her 52 years old in 2024. Like other celebrities such as Will Smith, Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, and Serena Williams, Paltrow’s zodiac sign is Libra.

According to Allure, Libra is an air sign, and its symbol is a pair of scales, representing balance and harmony. Those like Paltrow who are born under this sign tend to be ambitious and confident, traits the Goop founder has in spades, as few bankable Hollywood stars would take a significant step back from acting to launch a wellness brand. Though Goop may be controversial, it speaks to Paltrow's confidence in her product that she's still involved with the company 16 years later.

Gwyneth Paltrow Was Sued For A Skiing Accident

The Jury Ruled In Paltrow's Favor

Interestingly enough, Paltrow’s involvement in a high-profile lawsuit in 2019 had nothing to do with her maligned wellness company. In 2017, during a skiing trip at the Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, Paltrow collided with another skier, Terry Sanderson, on the slopes. According to NBC News, Sanderson claimed that the actor was responsible for being the cause of a “permanent traumatic brain injury,” and sued her for $300,000.

In her testimony, Paltrow insisted that Sanderson was the one at fault for the collision, and countersued him for $1 plus court fees. In 2023, a jury ruled in favor of Paltrow, who afterward released a statement that said, "I am pleased with the outcome, and I appreciate all of the hard work of Judge Holmberg and the jury, and thank them for their thoughtfulness in handling this case.” Paltrow's ski trial inspired two musicals, I Wish You Well: The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski-Trial Musical and Gwyneth Goes Skiing, proving that no matter what she does, Gwyneth Paltrow will always be in the spotlight.
