Jennifer Garner is an American actress with an estimated net worth of $60 million. She was born on April 17, 1972 in Houston, Texas. Her mother, Patricia, was a teacher and her father, William, was a chemical engineer. Jennifer Garner lived a good life, a happy upbringing. She was someone who was able to enjoy some of the nicer things in life growing up, including moves all around the country for her father’s job. She lived her formative teenage years in West Virginia where she always had a love of acting and a love of being in front of a crowd. She was only three when she began acting lessons, and it’s because she loved it and her parents knew that she would be good at what she was doing.
She did attend college at Denison University. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts, and she is a sorority girl. She moved to Connecticut in the early 90s to attend the National Theater Institute at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center. Even though she loved acting and she wanted to study it, she says she never grew up thinking she would become an actress. Instead, she thought she might want to become something like a doctor or even a librarian. She was raised in a very strict household, which she enjoyed, and she felt that she had to do something appropriate with her life when she grew up and made it on her own. However, she felt that when she began taking acting classes as an adult she was just drawn to it. She began acting in professional plays in 1994.
She did not become a major star, however, until she was a little bit older in the late 90s. She was cast in a made-for-television movie and she had a few guest roles on hit television series that were very famous at the time. Her major break came when she was only 28 and was given a reoccurring role on Felicity. Four years into the show, she was approached by a producer who wanted her to become a super hero in a new show he was creating called Alias. She agreed to audition and a star was born. Jennifer Garner became a household name and she made herself very famous in that role.
The role led to her becoming a famous super hero in the movies, and she was nominated for Emmy’s and Golden Globe awards for four years straight. Her fame rose, and her personal life would only help her become more famous. In 2000 she married actor Scott Foley. The two were married for three years. She also began dating actor Ben Affleck in 2004 right after her big break-up and his own to actress Jennifer Lopez. They married less than a year later and have three kids together. They announced their divorce in June 2015. Jennifer Garner is a household name and a major movie star, and her net worth will only continue to increase.
