News of Quincy Jones’ death has saddened music lovers worldwide, although no one is more devastated than the Black icon’s seven children. Several of his kids capitalized off their dad’s famous name to build careers in Hollywood, including 48-year-old Rashida Jones. The multi-talent is the second-born daughter of Quincy, a musician and producer, and Peggy Lipton, an actress and model; her older sister, Kidada is a fashion designer and was dating Tupac Shakur at the time of his death. To this day, Rashida embodies the best of both her parents, building a resume that includes major contributions across music, television and film since the mid-90s. She’s been in the spotlight for most of her life, so Rashida Jones’ name is well-known, but questions still remain about her net worth. Read on for everything you need to know about the Harvard University alum’s diverse career, real estate investments and estimated value.

Nepo Baby Got Her First Professional Role in 1997

Quincy and Peggy divorced when Rashida was just 14; at the time, she moved to Brentwood with her mom while Kidada stayed with their dad. In her youth, the actress was raised in Reform Judaism by Lipton, though she left Hebrew school at age ten and didn’t have a bat mitzvah. Outside of Quincy Jones’ incredible legacy, his daughter also came from money on her maternal side – grandfather Harold Lipton was a corporate lawyer who owned the Boston Celtics and San Diego Clippers.

Rashida Jones got involved with theater as a student at The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, where she was voted “Most Likely To Succeed” by her classmates. At Harvard, the California native joined Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the Signet Society and the Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club. She went to post-secondary with an interest in pursuing law, but graduated in 1997 after studying religion and philosophy. Her breakout role came that same year with a part in The Last Don, a miniseries based on Mario Puzo’s novel of the same name.

Before She Was Cast on ‘The Office,’ Rashida Jones Almost Quit Acting

The mother of one’s success continued through the late 90s, and to start off a new decade she was cast as Louisa Fenn on Boston Public. As things seemed to be slowing down for Jones, she contemplated walking away from acting. Once she got an offer to play Karen Filippelli on The Office in 2006, however, things took a positive turn for the nepo baby. Just a few years later, she nabbed roles in Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and I Love You, Man, as well as Ann Perkins on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, which she starred in for six seasons.

Elsewhere in 2009, Jones sold the rights to her “Frenemy of the State” comic book series to Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment, as well as her first screenplay for Celeste and Jesse Forever. Jones later appeared in the latter film opposite Andy Samberg. The entertainer has stayed booked and busy in the time since, gaining credits from projects like The Social Network, Monogamy, Friends with Benefits, The Big Year, The Muppets and Our Idiot Brother. It’s clear that comedy is where Jones excels, though her overall filmography proves her vast range.

California Native Won a Grammy for Her ‘Quincy’ Biography

Back in 2018, Rashida Jones joined forces with Netflix to tell a heartfelt story about her father in a documentary called Quincy. Throughout his time as a musician and producer, the Jones family patriarch won an impressive 27 Grammy Awards. For her work on the movie, his daughter won a Grammy for Best Music Film in 2019, marking a special father-daughter moment. The last movie Rashida appeared in was 2020’s On the Rocks, but TV lovers can currently catch her playing Suzie Sakamoto on Sunny, which she also executive produces.

What Is Rashida Jones’ Net Worth?

Rashida Jones’ net worth is $25 million as of November 2024, according to reports. Outside of her earnings from acting, producing, writing and more, she’s also made some major real estate investments throughout her career, including a $1.24M home in West Hollywood in 2007. Almost a decade later, Jones spent $3.6M on a home in Ojai, California (an hour and a half from Los Angeles) which she sold in 2022 for $4M. The property includes 40 acres of land and over 6,500 square feet of living space.
