Tennessee native Megan Fox has been on the Hollywood scene for decades, and the actor’s 2024 net worth has accumulated to impressive heights. Fox's very first feature film was Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), where she played Lindsay Lohan’s rival, Carla. However, it was the high-octane action movie Transformers (2007) that gave Fox her big break, playing Mikaela Banes — a role she reprised in the sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). She's also famous for her role as the titular villain in the criminally underrated Jennifer's Body (2009).
Fox was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to parents Gloria and Franklin Fox. At age 17, Fox moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. Offscreen, Fox got engaged to Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Green in 2006 after they met on the set of Hope & Faith. They were eventually married in 2010. Together, they have three sons, born in 2012, 2014, and 2016. Fox and Green divorced in 2021. The actress has been in an on-off relationship with musician Machine Gun Kelly since 2020, and in 2024, Fox announced she is pregnant with his child.
Megan Fox’s Net Worth
The Transformers Star Is Worth $8 Million In 2024
Megan Fox’s net worth is $8 million (via Celebrity Net Worth). She earned a good portion of that income from her work on the Transformers movies, with a paycheck of $100,000 on the first film and $800,000 on the sequel (via Vulture). The actress had also pre-negotiated a $2.2 million payday for starring Transformers: Dark of the Moon, but Fox was kicked off the Transformers franchise after making disparaging remarks about director Michael Bay, comparing him to Hitler. This reportedly caused producer Steven Spielberg to order Bay to fire the actor (via The Guardian), costing Fox her salary.
Beyond her Transformers paychecks, Fox also netted $400,000 for her work in Jennifer's Body, and has earned substantial incoming for her endorsement deals, reportedly raking in over $1 million from a 2010 Armani ad campaign (via Parade).
Fox’s assets have also been tied to real estate dealings. In 2009, she and ex-husband Brian Austin Green purchased an LA home for $2.95 million, later selling it in 2014 for $3.75 million. In 2016, Fox and Green bought a property for $3.3 million, only for Fox to later sue the owner, Brad Pitt’s manager Cynthia Pett-Dante, claiming a serious mold issue. After three years in court, they finally reached a settlement for $100,000, a far cry from Fox’s demand of $5 million (via The Daily Mail). Fox later sold the house in 2023 for $4.525 million.
Megan Fox’s Age & Height
Fox Is A Taurus
Born on May 16, 1986, Megan Fox is 38 years old, falling under the zodiac sign of Taurus. The bull is the symbol of Taurus, representing those who are strong and dependable, but they also can be very stubborn in a fight. Fox has proven to embody the Taurus' signature stubbornness in both her professional and real estate dealings. People born under the Taurus sign tend to love beauty and luxury, which Fox also represents, as she has been a co-owner and brand ambassador of lingerie line Frederick's of Hollywood since 2016.
It’s hardly noticeable when she wears heels on the red carpet and in publicity shoots, but Fox stands at a petite height of 5 feet, 4 inches. According to Celebrity Heights, Fox once remarked to Entertainment Weekly, “I'm way shorter than people think I am. Everybody thinks I'm like 5-10 and I'm only 5-4."
Megan Fox Released A Poetry Book in 2023
The Subject Matter Is Dark, With Fans Speculating It Could Be About Brian Austin Green
In November 2023, Megan Fox published a book of poetry, titled Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. The anthology of original poems by the actor is dark and filled with sardonic humor, with poems having names like “Lessons In Hot Boy Demonology” and “Hell Hath No Fury.”
In her poems, Fox gives vivid descriptions of heartbreak, abuse, and depression, with many fans speculating if the subject in question could be her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green. Readers of the book have praised it for being tragically raw and relatable. It's unknown if Megan Fox will be publishing another book, but she continues to act, having appeared in Expend4ables in 2023, proving she's not stepping out of the spotlight any time soon.
