Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith’s Net Worth Examined After ‘Red Table Talk’ Scores 22M Views
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith let fans in on their private life when they addressed their temporary separation on Jada’s “Red Table Talk.” The intimate discussion was a good business decision, adding to their already-hefty net worth.
At press time, Friday’s episode, titled “Jada Brings Herself To The Table,” had accumulated over 22 million views in less than 48 hours. According to Variety, this is the count of people who watched at least three seconds of the episode. The statistics for how many people watched a full minute will be available at a later date.
The episode addressed Jada’s relationship with rapper August Alsina four years ago. The Smiths, who married in 1997, explained that they were separated at the time, truly questioning if they'd ever reunite, and Jada “got into a different kind of entanglement” with August. The 12-minute video features the couple explaining the dark period in their marriage and revealing that Jada hadn’t spoken to August in years after reconciling with Will. The episode earned 15 million three-second views in the first 24 hours.
Clearly, Jada’s show is successful, but it’s just the latest in a long line of money-making ventures for her and Will Smith. Of course, celebrities don’t reveal their exact net worths, but Business Insider claims they’re worth a combined $320 million, which includes Jada bringing $20 million to the table.
Celebrity Net Worth, however, believes their wallets are a bit heavier. They estimate Will to be worth $350 million and Jada’s net worth at $50 million, making their combined net worth to be $400 million.
Will has had a long, successful career in both film and television. He started on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which remains in syndication nearly 30 years after the sitcom debuted. He has also starred in several franchises, including “Men in Black” and “Bad Boys.” Last year, he played the Genie in Disney’s live-action “Aladdin” remake, which earned over $1 billion at the box office.
While Jada isn’t quite as recognizable as her husband, she is still very successful. She starred in the “Matrix” franchise, lent her voice to “Madagascar,” starred in and executive produced the TV show “Hawthorne,” played the villainous Fish Mooney in TV's “Gotham” and got to flex her comedy skills in “Girls Trip.”
Now, she hosts “Red Table Talk,” which launched in spring 2018. In January, Facebook extended her contract through 2022, and there’s even a spinoff in the works being led by Gloria Estefan and her family. Jada will be an executive producer, Forbes reports.
“Red Table Talk” is produced by Westbrook Studios, Jada and Will’s company. Their daughter Willow, 19, and Jada’s mother Adrienne Banfield Norris (AKA “Grammy”) co-host.
"Red Table Talk" airs on Facebook.
