Even though Eva Mendes isn't acting these days, she's banked plenty of money with some major brand deals. She's appeared in commercials for Pantene hair products, Thierry Mugler perfume, Calvin Klein, Avon, Revlon, Vogue Eyewear, Reebok and more.
She's also created her own brands, including a bedding line that she sold through Macy's called Vida by Eva Mendes, per People. It seems like the line has been discontinued, but Mendes' ambition is still going strong. She has her own clothing collection with New York & Company, which is a collaboration that's been going strong since 2013, according to People. In 2019, she told People, "Ryan [Gosling] is incredibly supportive and he's always in awe."
All of those side hustle and years as an actress amount to a $20 million net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth. A $20 million net worth and the ability to skip red carpets in favor of family time? It seems like she truly gets the best of both worlds.
