After having been in the entertainment industry for well over two decades in one successful project after another, it's no surprise that Will Smith's net worth is among the highest for any actor out there, and in fact he's among the richest African-American stars in Hollywood.
Will Smith's net worth began ascending after he starred in the highly popular 90s show "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," at the same time focusing on his rapping career as well as making some of the most successful movies of the time, including the "Men in Black" trilogy co-starring Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones.
Of course, as he's made other very successful projects such as "Hitch" and "I Am Legend," Will Smith's net worth has continued to grow, as well as his critical acclaim, as he's already gotten two Academy Award nominations in his career: the first for playing boxing legend Mohammed Ali in "Ali" and later for co-starring with son Jaden in "The Pursuit of Happyness."
However, more often than not, it's not Will Smith's net worth making headlines, but rather the actor's family life, after he's been married to "Gotham" actress Jada Pinkett Smith for nearly two decades, and these days rumors fly about that the couple's about to split, even though they deny these rumors constantly!
Recently, Pinkett Smith appeared on the Channing Tatum semi-biopic sequel "Magic Mike XXL," and, according to Business-Standard, the actress has said that while she was surrounded by incredibly attractive men during the shoot, she wouldn't change them for her "beautiful reality" with her husband since 1997.
Currently, her actor husband is in Toronto, Canada, filming DC Comics villain film "Suicide Squad," a film that's sure to boost Will Smith's net worth even further, as the film, co-starring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jared Leto as The Joker, supermodel turned actress Cara Delevingne as The Enchantress and Ben Affleck as Batman, is one of the most anticipated movies of 2016.
Currently, Will Smith's net worth stands at $220 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - definitely a big change from when his life "got flipped-turned upside down"!
