While she seems like a dumb blonde, Jessica Simpson's net worth is proof she is the complete opposite.
Jessica got her start as a singer, and quickly gained fame thanks to hits such as "I Wanna Love You Forever." She went on to become a household name thanks to her reality show alongside then-husband Nick Lachey.
However, it was her fashion line that took her net worth to a whole other level, and at its peak, it was reported that Jessica's eponymous lifestyle brand was valued at $1 billion.
So, how much is Jessica worth today — and does she have a prenup in place to protect her assets?
Jessica Simpson is worth an estimated $200 million.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jessica is worth $200 million thanks to her line of popular clothing, shoes, perfume, and more.
In 2015 Jessica sold a majority stake of her company to Sequential Brands for $117 million. However, Sequential filed for bankruptcy in 2021, and Jessica was able to reacquire her brand and is now the full owner.

"After 16 years in business, I feel ready to meet this next exciting phase with open arms.

Does Jessica Simpson have a prenup?
In November 2024, it was reported that Jessica and her husband Eric are living separately and on the verge of divorce.
"Jessica is heartbroken," a source told Us Weekly. "[It was] not an easy decision for her." With a possible second divorce on the horizon, fans are hopeful that Jessica learned her lesson from her first divorce and has a prenup in place.
Jessica has opened up about her split from Nick Lachey and revealed that she was offended when he asked her to sign a prenup.
"I wish I would have signed a prenup," she told Dr. Oz in 2020. "And that's the funny thing is that Nick wanted me to sign a prenup, but I was, like, so offended."
She continued, "I was like, ‘We're going to be together for the rest of our lives. We're saying our vows to God and in front of all of our family and friends. Like, this never gonna end.' And, we didn't sign a prenup."
In fact, Jessica ended up paying Nick in their divorce settlement.
In her memoir, Open Book, she wrote, "They said Nick wanted a certain number, and honestly I don't remember what it was," adding that she eventually told them to "just give it to him."
"I'll make it back," she continued. "And then I did. Give or take a billion."
