Born on 1 November 1972 in Chicago, Illinois, into a Catholic family of Irish, Polish, and German descent, Jennifer Ann McCarthy is known for her diverse career as an actress, photo model, activist, publisher, and a Playboy Girl. She made headlines for posing nude for Playboy multiple times, with her first session almost 20 years after her debut.
Estimates suggest that Jenny’s net worth reached $17 million by mid-2017, amassed through various activities throughout her career that began in the early 1990s.
Jenny’s journey started after matriculating from Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School in 1990 and briefly attending Southern Illinois University to specialize in nursing. However, she chose to pursue a modeling career for more lucrative opportunities.
Her breakthrough came in 1993 when she won the audition to feature in Playboy’s calendar; she was chosen as the model for October, outshining 10,000 other contestants. Initially paid $20,000, her net worth significantly increased after receiving $100,000 as Playmate of the Year. Her value soared when she repeated the feat in 2012 before her 40th birthday, her salary undisclosed.
Settling in Los Angeles in 1994, she ventured into entertainment, appearing in the popular MTV dating show “Singled Out.” Over the subsequent decade, she starred in successful movies such as “Scary Movie 3,” “Scream 3,” “The Stupids,” “Dirty Love,” among others, contributing positively to her net worth.
She also explored hosting with “The Jenny McCarthy Show,” and made guest appearances on TV shows like “The Drew Carey Show,” “Charmed,” and “Two and a Half Men.” Her recent contributions include appearances in “Wahlburgers” and “Donnie Loves Jenny,” adding to her earnings and overall net worth.
McCarthy is also known for her advocacy work in autism, supporting individuals and organizations associated with the illness, driven by her son’s diagnosis. The commitment led her to publish several books for parents raising children with autism. She is a controversial personality, in part due to her anti-vaccination statements, and has also been a host on “The View.”
In her personal life, Jenny has had relationships with her manager Ray Manzella, actor and manager John Mallory Asher, and Jim Carrey. She married John Mallory Asher, with whom she had her son Evan in 2002 before divorcing the same year. Since 2014, she has been married to Donnie Wahlberg.
