In addition to starring in one of the most popular sketch comedy series in the United States, Leslie Jones has also starred in a number of films. Jones' first big role was in the 2016 remake of "Ghostbusters," and starred alongside "Saturday night Lives" cast mates Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon, as well as comedy legend Melissa McCarthy. The reboot grossed a worldwide total of about $230 million at the box office (via Game Zone). Though the film lost Sony a bit of money, it helped to raise Jones' profile in Hollywood. After leading "Ghostbusters," Jones lent her voice to the animated films "Sing" and "The Angry Birds Movie 2" and reunited with Kristen Wiig to play Scanlon in the comedy "Masterminds" (via IMBD).
Jones' most recent role, as of publication, was in Eddie Murphy's "Coming 2 America." The comedian played Mary Junson, the mother of the son Murphy's character never knew he had. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jones said working on the film was "absolutely awesome."
"To be involved in such an important celebration of Black culture and Black excellence with one of the greatest ensemble casts of all-time was an honor," she said. "There are plenty of nods to the original, but there's a huge emphasis on family and female empowerment in this film, which I love. And of course, it's hilarious!"
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jones is currently worth $7 million dollars.
