Can You Afford to Look Like Jennifer Aniston?

It takes some serious cash to be as gorgeous as this movie star trendsetter -- but how much exactly? It'll shock you

And the grand total is ...

As I'm sure you've gathered by now, it costs quite a bit to look like Jennifer Aniston. Here's the ballpark breakdown of what she spends each month to look as good as she does:

Her hair (cut, color, and products): $949.95
Her skin care (products and one facial): $891.95
Her makeup (products and artist's fee for one day): $4,402
Her brows: $160
Her spray tan: $90
Her fitness routine: $3,600
Her diet: $1,840

And the grand total is: $11,933.90

If you have a (ahem) deviated septum to worry about, tack at least $5,000 onto this for a one-shot nose job. Shocked at the figure, we decided to take it a little farther and figure out how much it'd cost to maintain Aniston's look for a year. Are you ready? You're lookin' at around $141,037.97.

So the next time you're sighing over a photo of Aniston's face/legs/butt/whatever, consider that with the money she spends to look beautiful for a year, you could: purchase a home in the Midwest, send a kid to college for (almost) four years, buy six Honda Accords, or fly roundtrip from Los Angeles to New York -- in first class -- 44 times! Kinda puts things in perspective, right?

I don't mean to be rude, but I don't want to look like Jennifer. She is no great beauty (except for her exception God-given blue eyes) nor is she a particularly good actress. Her hair? She needed a new cut years ago.

what a ridiculous reason to name, ask every doctor you know, a deviated septum does not include a smaler finer new nose. if you undergo a normal deviated septum , the shape of your nose doesnt change. you have to break the nose to change the shape of your nose, a deviated septum does not include that. well, but airheads will believe it. thanks to google, no one has to stay stupid, you can easily inform yourself, thats the problem with her statements, she thinks shes still in the 90´s. her chin looks different too, i bet she have implants inside like paris hilton, she also had a different chin when she was younger.

I've always loved the color of her hair and skin tone. In relation to how much $$ she makes, that's a drop in the bucket.

by misty_finley_clark Monday, March 4, 2013 at 01:15PM Report as inappropriate

She's just ok, she's not a raving beauty and not a high caliber actress.....I'm personally sick of hearing/seeing/reading about her!

by trishsterette Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 09:48AM Report as inappropriate

Seriously interesting. It makes sense that she spends so much, its her job to look good at all times. And cost is relative.

by kimihavens Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 02:53PM Report as inappropriate

Interesting, but I wonder how accurate.

by Chris213 Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 04:30AM Report as inappropriate

2 months of that would amount to about as much as the cost for the surgery my sister needs .. lol jeez

by Sohee Sunday, September 23, 2012 at 08:49PM Report as inappropriate

i can not afford all this . even if i could i would not spend that much money on anything except a house and a car

by beth_gramkow Sunday, September 23, 2012 at 01:25AM Report as inappropriate

Well I'll definitely try out her face soap, but man.

by schien Thursday, September 20, 2012 at 10:49AM Report as inappropriate

WOW, i think the only thing in this article that i can actually afford is jennifer aniston's haircut..

by LeSucre Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 01:13AM Report as inappropriate

i can't afford it

by LittleBunny Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at 07:11PM Report as inappropriate

A lot of people get cosmetic surgery on their nose when repairing a deviated septum. Besides, the change cosmeticly is minimal. Shes beautiful.

The answer is no, she uses the best of the best products I can't come close to touching.

I can't afford it, but I wish that I could.

by beautybody Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 10:22AM Report as inappropriate

definitely a good reminder and puts it all into perspective. if i had all these things, perhaps i could look like her as well, but alas, i do not have all those things. i'm still pretty happy with how i look though =) us regular folks aren't completely useless when it comes to beauty on a budget

by mlenaei Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 09:04AM Report as inappropriate

Drooling over the makeup! But it seems crazy to spend so much!

by Nicole1021 Saturday, March 24, 2012 at 08:12PM Report as inappropriate

umm...no I CANNOT afford Jennifer's beauty routine...lol.

This was fun and interesting to read, though part of me feels like it's none of my business (didn't stop me from reading it--obviously haha).

by tallredamanda Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 08:17AM Report as inappropriate

I absolutely CANNOT afford to look like Jennifer. :(

no, I cannot afford to look like Jennifer Aniston. lol

by Alisunshine Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 09:31AM Report as inappropriate

They look great, and they need to, but seriously, spending that much money for a haircut? I can understand the products though.

by yestfl Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 12:17PM Report as inappropriate

All movie star and Singer spend alot of money to look good all the time , they in public eye plus they have th emoney to do it

by nikkiq Friday, February 17, 2012 at 07:14PM Report as inappropriate

I can't believe she spends so much to get her hair cut!

by sportimonki13 Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 08:07PM Report as inappropriate

If my job is to be looking good in from of the camera, It may also cost that much as well. Is it call professionalism?

by bonbonsweet Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 12:46AM Report as inappropriate

I'm giving this article a high rating because I'm really glad someone finally took the time to break down how much it likely costs to look like a celebrity. There seems to be so much pressure to look as perfect and beautiful as the people we see on TV/film/magazines...many self-esteems are hampered by this unrealistic expectation. People, especially young girls, often forget that what they see on TV, etc., looks that way because of good lighting, custom-fit clothing, personal style consultants, air brushing, personal trainers, costumers, professional camera-ops and, of course, the "Aniston-esque" regimen of skin/hair/diet/exercise, etc. that is not feasible to the average person's budget or schedule. Yes, it is their “job,” so they wisely invest in it to maintain their employment. But don’t ever forget when you catch yourself envying their “perfection” that there is an entire industry and about a hundred people behind each celebrity’s ability to look “naturally fantastic” to the public eye.

by undrcnstruction Sunday, November 13, 2011 at 07:17PM Report as inappropriate

Well, if I thought her haircut and makeup was expensive, take in consideration her diet and exercise and the cost is equivalent to sending me to college for four years! That is crazy!

by MissXu Sunday, November 6, 2011 at 10:38AM Report as inappropriate

That is why they get paid so much. It costs to keep yourself looking good on screen..small or otherwise especially in HD. The products that are used by the hairstylists and makeup artists aren't cheap either as well as paying for the time and talents of those folks as well as trainers, dietitians, etc.

by attagirl Saturday, November 5, 2011 at 09:55AM Report as inappropriate

I look up to jennifer Aniston. And people are like "wow" but honestly, when you have a different income and budget, "expensive" products aren't technically expensive anymore. They buy what their budget allows, and they have the same budget problems we do. If I was rich I'd do it a little differently but it's not just an income, it's a lifestyle.

This was interesting. Where can the Chris McMillan products be purchased?

by Linda2000 Friday, October 14, 2011 at 06:25PM Report as inappropriate

Wow, i knew it woudl be a lot, but I didn't think celebrities would be crazy enough to waste money like that.

by Mysterylady Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 04:27PM Report as inappropriate

Some of the comments are more worthwhile than the article!

by Breton Monday, September 19, 2011 at 07:04PM Report as inappropriate

yeah I think all women would look amazing if they had that kind of budget. lol. Love the yogaslophy dvd, I just got this a few months ago and have been using it. I really enjoy it.

Great article.

by anita_n_maurice Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 06:14PM Report as inappropriate

I know I shouldn't be shocked but I am...I know people who are perfectly beautiful who spend like any normal person

by kbrinck Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 06:06PM Report as inappropriate

SuSu summed it up perfectly.

by CaroleVonAllten Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 03:20PM Report as inappropriate

If you can afford all of that beauty care, go for it. What else does she spend her money on besides trips and clothes.

by CaroleVonAllten Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 03:06PM Report as inappropriate

For all that money, I really don't think her looks are any better than any other woman out there.

by voyager24 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 01:00PM Report as inappropriate

thank you Susu!! I'm glad others see the blatant hypocrisy of these people. Nobody is stopping them from writing a check to the IRS!

by LKV2009 Monday, September 12, 2011 at 04:52PM Report as inappropriate

Remember that all this...and much, much more...is a tax write-off...all part of maintaining the commercial viability of the entity that is Jennifer Aniston, Inc. Next time you hear one of these big liberal Hollywood stars talking about how "the rich" should pay higher taxes, remember that they live like kings and queens "above the line", writing of all these luxuries that you would have to pay for out of your take-home pay. After they pamper themselves 24/7, they don't really care how much Uncle Sam takes out of what's left...

by SuSu Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 02:00PM Report as inappropriate

I'm sorry but for all of that money she looks like Cover Girl makeup and Suave hair products JMHO

by sonia_silveroli Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 06:44PM Report as inappropriate

if getting a job depended on me looking the best i can, and my job pays as much as hers does, i would invest the money too!

by gisellemarie Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 09:38AM Report as inappropriate

I can only rate this article a 3, no matter how intersting it was, due to the constant shifting from the article to some kind of commercial advertisement which was HUGELY annoying and also very unneccessary! Please...enough with the advertisements!

by jenn8779 Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 07:34AM Report as inappropriate

Too much fuss about nothing! Considering how much money she spends on her looks she should look ten times better than she does! Just imagine if all women could have that kind of money to spend on themselves!! But with all honesty,even if it all sounds very tempting to take care of yourself on that level,I would not spend those amounts on beauty. I think I could use the money on things that are far more important than nicely shaped brows. lol

by selma Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 04:34AM Report as inappropriate

Now THIS is the kind of article I've been looking for! Thank you so much. Very interesting. It feels very refreshing to know that I don't depend on anything that expensive. And everything seems so high maintenance? Brows every week... hair every six weeks....tan every two weeks...facial every month... blah blah. Seems exhausting! I have found that I can almost do all of that at home! With good product too.

by prettyvisage Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 02:34AM Report as inappropriate

Wow. It would be nice to live that life for a month. Just a month though. :)

by laura_schulz Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 07:05PM Report as inappropriate

Oh my goodness, that is a lot of money!!! The only things I can justify spending a lot on for myself is hair and skin care, but my grand total doesn't come anywhere close to hers!

by vfalkow Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 11:35AM Report as inappropriate

That is a lot of money. I think that is way out of my price range.

by taryn.romero Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 08:32AM Report as inappropriate

Wow, that's a lot of money, especially altogether... It's definitely still possible to look good without spending all of that money. It still floors me that someone can shell out money for things like that! $120 for getting your brows done?!

by LipglossandSpandex Monday, September 5, 2011 at 10:06PM Report as inappropriate
