She earned a good portion of this income from her work at Transformers films, with a salary of US$100,000 for the first film and US$800,000 for the sequel (via Vulture). The actress had also pre-negotiated a $2.2 million payday for starring in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, but Fox was expelled from Transformers franchise after making derogatory comments 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 his salary.

Besides her Transformers paychecks, Fox also raised $400,000 for his work on Jennifer's Bodyand has earned substantial income from his sponsorship deals, reportedly raking in more than $1 million from an Armani ad campaign in 2010 (via Stop).

Fox's assets are also tied to real estate deals. In 2009, she and ex-husband Brian Austin Green purchased a home in Los Angeles for $2.95 million, later selling it in 2014 for $3.75 million. In 2016, Fox and Green purchased a property for $3.3 million, only for Fox to later sue the owner, Brad Pitt's manager Cynthia Pett-Dante, alleging a serious mold problem. After three years in court, they finally reached a $100,000 settlement, a far cry from Fox's $5 million demand (via The Daily Mail). Fox later sold the house in 2023 for $4.525 million.
