Most famous actors work for years in various bit parts until they have a breakout performance that leads to starring roles. Jennie Garth, however, is an exception to the rule. The actor had just a handful of smaller roles before she starred in Beverly Hills, 90210. Ensuring she's loved by all generations, Jennie then co-starred in the show What I Like About You with Amanda Bynes in the early 2000s.
Acting may be where Jennie got her start, but she didn't stay there. In fact, much of the celeb's considerable net worth isn't from acting roles at all! Hollywood was just a door-opener for Jennie, who then used her fame to open even more doors to other streams of income — and it's paying off!
Jennie Garth's net worth is nothing to sneeze at.
As of April 8, 2026, Jennie's net worth is a whopping $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. While some of that money is from the aforementioned roles that made Jennie famous, she also earned money from the 90210 spin-off series, which aired in 2008.
The actor was paid an impressive $50,000 per episode to play Kelly again. The star has also been in several reality shows and written a book, both of which added to her overall net worth.

What has Jennie been up to these days?
More recently, Jennie has pursued opportunities outside of acting. Remember how every single person started podcasting in 2020? Well, Jennie was part of that group.
She and fellow Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Tori Spelling launched a podcast titled 9021OMG, in which they reminisce about their time on the show. We've got to hand it to Jennie — she's milked her time on that show for all it's worth! Jennie also has a solo podcast titled I Choose Me With Jennie Garth which covers lifestyle content.
In a non-90210-related venture, Jennie launched her own clothing line titled "Me by Jennie Garth" in 2024. She's also collaborated with Dune Jewelry on their Travelling Heart Collection. Furthermore, Jennie created an online gift subscription box for mothers, MomGiftBox.com, and donates the proceeds to charity.
Jennie is a lot more frugal than one might think.
In stark contrast to the character that made her so famous, Jennie is actually quite conservative with her money. The actor told Fox, "I don't believe in spending money when you don't need to. I believe we all work hard for our money, and I want to have money that I can give to my children and continue to provide for them even when I don't have to."
