Jessica Lange has an estimated net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Jessica Lange net worth page (figures as of June 18, 2025).

Jessica Lange is an American actress and photographer who was born on April 20, 1949, in Cloquet, Minnesota. She studied art and photography at the University of Minnesota on a scholarship, later trained in mime in Paris and danced with the Opéra-Comique, then modeled for Wilhelmina before producer Dino De Laurentiis cast her in King Kong in 1976. That debut won her the Golden Globe for New Star of the Year.

In 1982 she earned two Oscar nominations in the same year, for Frances and Tootsie, winning Best Supporting Actress for Tootsie. She won Best Actress for Blue Sky and was also nominated for Country, Sweet Dreams and Music Box. On television she won Emmys for Grey Gardens and American Horror Story, and on Broadway she won the Tony for Long Day's Journey into Night in 2016, making her one of the few performers with the Triple Crown of Acting.

How Jessica Lange makes her money

Film acting is the base of a five-decade career. Leading roles in The Postman Always Rings Twice, Frances, Country, Sweet Dreams, Music Box, Cape Fear, Rob Roy and A Thousand Acres, along with later work in Big Fish and Broken Flowers, kept her among Hollywood's most respected stars. She also produced Country, adding a producer credit to her acting work.

Television brought a powerful second act. After A Streetcar Named Desire and Normal, she won an Emmy for Grey Gardens and then two more for FX's American Horror Story, which she returned to in 2018 and 2026. She also starred in Feud: Bette and Joan, the Netflix series The Politician and the television film The Great Lillian Hall.

Stage work adds prestige and salary. She played Blanche DuBois on Broadway and in London, won a Tony for Long Day's Journey into Night and returned to Broadway in Mother Play in 2024.

Photography is her creative sideline, with five published books of her pictures.
