Joshua Jackson’s Net Worth — What He’s Earned Since 'Dawson’s Creek'

The name Joshua Jackson has stayed relevant for decades, and that’s because he’s been a staple in film and TV since appearing in the hit series Dawson’s Creek. From 1998 to 2003, Joshua stole the hearts of viewers playing Pacey Witter on the WB teen drama, but he’s come a long way from those days.

Unlike some who enjoyed the spotlight in their early years and quietly slipped away, Joshua continued acting and has gone on to land some pretty notable roles in films and shows. And along the way, he’s secured a sweet little bag, which we’ll dig into here and reveal where his net worth stands.

Joshua Jackson's net worth stands at $8 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, which is a little lower than his Dawson’s Creek co-star, Katie Holmes, but still a nice slice of fortune. That’s because while Joshua is still actively involved in acting, his roles are fewer these days. His most recent includes playing the main role of Dr. Max Bankman in the TV series Doctor Odyssey, as well as Victor Lipani in the film Karate Kid: Legends, which was released in 2025.

Some of his other notable roles include Little Fires Everywhere (which ended up being a major miniseries), The Affair, and if we go back to the early 2000s, Lone Star State of Mind. And let’s not forget about his iconic scene in Cruel Intentions (yep, he was in it!).

Of course, Joshua’s most notable role has to be Dawson’s Creek, for which he reportedly collected upward of $100,000 per episode. The Daily Mail notes that Joshua, along with fellow co-stars Katie Holmes and the late James Van Der Beek, initially collected $35,000 per episode, but as the show gained more popularity, that amount reportedly rose to as much as $175,000 per episode.

And while much of that income has likely been spent, since Joshua has continued to pick up acting gigs here and there, it’s clearly helped him maintain his wealth. In February 2026, he also announced via Instagram that he’d be joining forces again with Greg Berlanti for the HBO series How to Survive Without Me, with a release date still TBA.

While things are going pretty well for Joshua in the acting realm, his private life has looked a little different. He and his wife of four years, Jodie Turner-Smith, officially split in 2025. Jodie filed for divorce in October 2023, per People, and it wasn’t finalized until 2025.

The former couple shares their 5-year-old daughter, Juno. While the outlet noted that both Joshua and Jodie waived the right to spousal support or alimony, Joshua is still obligated to pay Jodie $2,787 per month in child support until Juno reaches the age of 19 or graduates high school, “whichever occurs first.”

The pair will also split additional costs related to raising their child, including educational and medical expenses. So while it took a little while to settle, it doesn’t seem like it ended up being too messy a divorce, all things considered.
